Hi, I started off wanting a solid fuel fire then looked at a gas insert and now want to go back to soild fuel. The issue is that when they put in the gas entral heating a few years ago, they took out the old back boiler and disconnected the gas fire. The gas fire has now been left to cover...

Oh excellent, thank you

Thanks. There is enough air flow around them, I'm sure. Actually there is one above a radiator but thats the only one that hasn't gone brown or caught fire. Anyway I called B&Q customer services and was told it's a store issue, to remove the lights and take them in to be sent off. I'm not...

Thanks for the reply. There is no label on the shades, they came with the fittings as a complete set. I didn;t add them later. On the holders is clearly labelled 60 w. Could the bulbs be putting out more heat? Im going to cal them tomorrow. If I had been out it would have been a...

Hi, We purchased some wall lights a couple of months back from a well known DIY chain. I noticed last night the shade on the one upstairs was slightly tinged, so I turned it off. Today I smelt burning, and the saw the shade in the hallway had melted and was on fire. On the holder...

Hi, I hope someone can advise. My mother used to have a gas fire with back boiler. She had central heating and combi boiler installed by homefront a couple of years ago. During this process they removed the backboiler and disconnected the fire. She now wants to put in a gas fire insert...

Had my walls done with lining paper, all looked great. I painted the walls with Dulux Ivory Lace matt,, brilliant. Ran out of paint and went to purchase some more. Started painting the adjacet wall with the new paint and then touched up some areas with it. Then I noticed a shiny blob when...

Thanks. I know they made changes in 2008 but when the new Government came in they spoke about making further changes.

Hi, I recall a couple of months back that regulations around permitted development would change to make it less retrictive. Is that the case? I wondered what would change and when. Thanks

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Yes the connections seem fine, its been connected the same as the old board ( despite the incorrect instructions in the box) So all that seems fine, the display PCB also seems ok.

It doesnt show an error, it shows 7.

I just wanted to add that the only way to fire up the boiler is by the button so the light comes on green (not sure what that wall gadget is called)

Hi, We have an Ideal Isar HE24 combi which stopped working last week. After reading this forum we changed the PCB (to the newer orange one) and hooray it all came back to life. But now the boiler is not turning off automatically, all the radiators are boiling hot. It's gone from one...

Thanks, ours i believe is 16ml per minute My preference would be a combi but my concern mainly is due to my parents home, they have a combi, as part of the warm front scheme. They have a four bed house and 2 bathrooms. The shower is awful, someone flushes the door stairs loo I have to wait...

Hi, I posted a while back about a new combi boiler and since then I have had further quotes. My dilema is to go with a combi boiler or a system boiler with tank in attic etc. It's a 3 bed semi detached, a living room, dining area, small kitchen and back extension. One bathroom/shower...

Thank you. So a combi boiler seems the wrong way to go, I really don't want to end up in my parents situation. It is extremely annoying, toilet gets flushed and its five minutes before the shower warms up again. In light of that I guess the combi is not going to address this issue. So...

Thanks. British Gas was the most recent quote at just over £5,000 This was for a combi boilers, sorry I can't recall which ones. Plus 7 radiators. So far I have felt Im dealing with dodgy car sales people who take advantage of my ignorance. In an ideal world I would like to buy the...

Hi, I am having central heating installed into my home (just bought and being renovated). I have had quotes from £9,000 down to £2,000 and as I'm slightly clueless I hoped someone could give me some advice on what we need. It's a 3 bedroom, with a small lounge and dining room. We...
