Hi Tony I had it serviced last year but as this happens so infrequently, I actually forgot to mention it to the engineer. :oops: As for flue installation it is a ground floor boiler in a two storey house so the gutter is some way above and doesn't leak. It doesn't drip every time we...

I have a Woscester Bosch pressurised system boiler - about 3-4 years old. It is fitted to a conventional system with radiators and a vented hot water cylinder. Every few months or so water drips from the front right corner. Today I put a container under and collected about half a liter in about...

Hi everyone. I am hoping for some advice on my virgin cable telephone wall plate. It is a master telephone socket which has two connectors: A and B. I would like to remove the socket and replace it with a euro-module. I have a PABX Master socket module, can anyone confirm this will work...

I had my kitchen floor tiled about a year ago. My builder first made good a couple of areas of the wooden floor and then fixed 12mm waterproof ply over the top. Then the tiler laid electric underfloor heating and latex leveling over the top before tiling. He laid 600 x 600 glazed porcelain...

Hi everyone. Has anyone used either Archideck or EB-TY hidden deck fixings? Architec look like best value at £150 for 500. Guess what I'm doing at the weekend!! :D

Hi Guys When the sky engineer came (don't get me started), he ran a cable from my BT master socket, around the outside of my house and in through a wall near my sky box. He pulled the cable through and put a small female connector on the end connect by two wires. I would now like to replace...

Hi everyone I had a new kitchen fitted last year, in the meantime the company has gone bust. Recently one of the hinges has come loose, the screws fixing it to the side of the cabinet have come loose and the holes are now too big. I cant put nuts and bolts through as the other side of the...

Hi everyone. I have a reclaimed cast iron fireplace insert that I want to fit. It will go into the original opening (once I have opened it back up to the original size). It may sit slightly proud from the wall in order to line up with a wooden surround. I intend to sit it on a granite...

Can anyone tell me the advantage of using low voltage lighting over 240v GU10 dichroic halogen lamps? It seems to me that GU10's would be better as they do not need transformers and can always be changed for LED's when the price comes down. Thanks Grommett
