Hi, I've noticed a bit of damp under my hot water cylinder. After a bit of investigation I saw water staining coming from the boiler controls. Im guessing this isnt good. Is this a new tank or can the immersion be reseated? As theres water at the top of the cover im guessing its steam escaping...

Cheers madrab. That's what I thought. Will see if I can do the cup / fire test. Water looks clean but it's only what comes out of the bleed valve. System is only 5 years old. Can I just add inhibitor or should I get the system flushed?

Hi All, I'm aware this has been discussed a lot previously but couldn't find anything exact. I have a closed loop central heating system. 2 radiators upstairs, one towel and one standard, fill with air frequently. By frequently I mean I have to take the air out once a week. If I leave it for a...

Hi, I know this has been asked before but just wanted to sanity check this. The plaster cracked above the stove so peeled back and the board us just brittle. Is that because it's just standard plaster board? what's the best way to repair this so it won't crack again? Thanks

Sorry should have put an emoji after that suggestion, not going to do that ⚡️

It is a thing, found an Eon chat about it. Apparently lining your consumer unit with tin foil helps

I really want the cheap ev tariff so it's my only option sadly.

Hi Folks, My consumer unit is around 5 years old max and I'm being told its not compatible with the new generation of smart meters. Anyone else have or heard of this problem? From Fuse energy - Our meter operator has told us that if a smart meter is installed with one of these consumer units...

Tbf there was only a dry stain but since his visit appears to be leaking now. As you said probably down to pressure. I've noticed a slight increase especially when I first turn on the hw tap. As I said I'm limited in choice here, there are only 2 plumbers in the area and one wouldn't respond so...

From the t&p valve, does the valve potentially just need refitting?

So he replaced the 6bar cold water prv. This must have been faulty given the water was at some points cold coming through the tundish. Surely the fact that the water this morning was hot suggests its the 10bar t&p valve near the top of the tank? It's not running constantly like it was before...

I live very remotely so kind of have to take what I can get. He was there to resolve the issue. Is it possible the thermostat could be set too high and therefore it spills when above 90c? The water this morning coming through the tundish was hot however, before the repair, in the evenings the...

So I had a plumber out yesterday who repressurised the expansion vessel and replaced the valve which opened to spill however I noticed this morning the tundish is spilling again. What else could be the issue?

Hi, I'm looking to replace my Sangamo thermostat with something a bit more user friendly. My current set up is a danfoss Fp715si for timers so ideally just need a digital thermostat to replace the rstat3, this is hard wired. I've looked at the hive / tado stuff but it seems to replace both...

Is it worth turning down the thermostat in the meantime? We have to wait a month for a plumber

@Johntheo5 I'm not sure, it's quite boxed in which doesn't make it easy to figure out what goes where. I've added some pictures, hopefully makes sense I'll also add that I checked the water temp coming out this morning and it's hot water.

Hi, I'm new to unvented hot water systems. Recently I've noticed water leaking through the tundish, it's almost a steady flow. If I turn on the hot water tap for a few moments it stops running I'm guessingbdue to the drop in pressure. I wouldn't say the hot water is excessively hot. The cold...

I have a saunier duval isofast condens f35e boiler. Over the winter it has continually dropped pressure from 1bar to 0.7 in about 5 days. There is water coming out of the pressure relief outlet when the central heating is on. I tested to see if there was air in the 10ltr expansion vessel...

It's a reasonable problem in that I have to top the boiler up pretty frequently. Although it can vary from every other day to once a month. Thanks will get a plumber out.

Thanks for the prompt replies. Yes it does leak while topping up, normally a dribble when I close the top up valve. It does leak during operation though as I have to keep a small cup underneath. Would this cause the pressure to drop? Any estimates on cost to replace, thanks
