    Are the fumes from a combi boiler carbon monoxide?

    That doesn't make a lick of sense... :?

    Scratched a gas pipe with a saw

    Boiler condensate

    Probably no more harmful for the septic tank bugs than using bleach etc? We're not talking huge volumes either...

    Gas Fire and Room ventilation fan

    I'm pretty sure that it does need ventilation. The gas fitter who (thankfully) refused to entertain the idea of fitting one of these fires in my living room said it would be needed. Depends on the volume of the room I suspect. The fire may have a CO sensor in it but I've never heard of a...

    UNVENTED CYLINDERS ARE A TIME BOMB!!!!!

    The mythbusters gang got one to explode (or to be most exact take off like a rocket) in a recent programme. But they did have to disable all the safety features before it happened. Very impressive when it did go off

    Cost of instaling if I buy the bits myself

    Asking that question on here is like going to kwik fit and asking them if they think you need new brakes. There is only ever going to be one answer :D

    British Gas - Boiler Deals

    I had a full central heating system installed by BG last year. My flat had never had central heating previously so it was a completely new install. Price wise they were a little more expensive than a local independant but they weren't that bad. I realise I must be in the minority here but I...

    Fitting a mixer shower

    Yes, I just tee'd off the bath supplies. By the sounds of it your pressure should be fine, before you buy an expensive mixer, try connecting up one of those cheap showers that involves a plugging the rubber ends onto your hot and cold taps and holding the head up at the normal shower head...

    Fitting a mixer shower

    If you have good water pressure then yes. I have the same boiler but the 24kw version with a mixer and its decent, not a power shower but 100 times better than the instant electric shower it replaced. Does anyone know what the difference is - parts wise - between the 24 and 28 greenstar...

    worcester bosch greenstar 24i problems

    I have the same boiler and have noticed with this cold weather that I have to notch the shower up higher and the hot water isn't as hot. The boiler will always apply the same temp delta to the incoming water. So when incoming water is colder, the hot water won't get as hot. Does sound like...

    Tilt and Turn PVCu Tilting too much.....

    Hello, I'm resurrecting this post! I still have this problem with this window but the problem is that there does not appear to be a spring loaded catch anywhere on the window ( I know what Delta 2 is referring to, this catch is on a newer window in the property). Does anyone else have any...

    Balmoral SBR6 compressor unit

    Going back of topic slightly, the talk of sludge and liquor reminds me of my first job as a water and wastewater engineer. As part of the biological process in a waste water treatment works 'sludge' is the solid mater that was left and couldn't be processed further, it would be collected and...

    What is this?

    As the title really, these things are at the end of a variety of charger and power leads for various electronic devices (this one is on my laptop charger) and I'm curious as to what they are and what they do? (The little nicks are where my cats been tasting the cable BTW!)

    Kitchen suppliers

    Ditto the above, I bought a B&Q kitchen and can't fault the service or the quality of the units. Can't speak for the fitting service as I didn't use it but everything was delivered on the day it was supposed to be delivered with no damaged items. One thing I would watch out for is that my...

    Scottish view of the SNP?

    Firsty I wouldn't be so dismissive of the importance of whiskey sales, not so much the likes of famous grouse but the good stuff. I think far more is exported than is consumed in the UK. As for the SNP.......they actually have a lot of sensible policy's and I think are a good party to run...
