Hi There, I have a battery operated smoke alarm on my landing and it keeps going off at random times, evening during the night or when sat watching tv I went out and bought a brand new slightly more expensive one, and that seems to do the same. Does anyone have any ideas what could be setting...

Hi everyone, My parents cooker has started to trip out the fuse breaker everytime it’s used, does anyone have any ideas why that may be? I’ll try to include as much info as I can think below along with 2 pictures It’s been in and working for approx 2 years and no work has been done on or near...

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply

Hello everyone, I have an old Citadel XR2 alarm and the PIR in the large shed is going off randomly during the night, quite often now I want to replace it for the magnetic door sensor instead so it doesn’t go off unless opened. I see they are easily available to buy online, but my question...

thank you for the advice, it’s much appreciated

Hi There, Thanks for the replies, The work has all but finished now, all that really remains (I believe) is to resurface the 10ft. Its been a complete nightmare, you cannot be home during the day for basically the last 7 months, my partner who doesnt work had to leave the house constantly, you...

Hi All, I’m looking for a little advice, I live in an end terraced house, and there has been some work carried out by a water company to dig up the 10ft alongside my house. I wont go into too much detail but large wagons up and down the 10ft, 20 to 30 times a day for 3 months, then drilling and...

hello, thanks for the replies, it’s the very top X shaped bit that you turn. When it’s fully off tight it doesn’t move, but when you open it slightly to let water run, it becomes very wobbly, but just that top X piece.

Hi All, I wonder if you lovely people could help me, we have an old tap on the bathroom sink and when you turn it on it becomes really wobbly and loose in your hand. I've included a picture to show the faulty tap. In my experiences of taps in the past, I assumed that the white bit on the top...

Ah ok, I'm not convinced the landlord hasnt just stuck something really inadequate in, these heaters are £85 each, surely 2 of those is not whats needed to heat a house, they are tiny and could have just gone to argos and bought 2 basic heaters.

Hi Chris, Thanks for the reply, only 5 minutes or so but you can still feel the heat blasting out, whereas if I unplug I notice a change almost straight away so it just seems to be staying on, the main time and each day day seem correct. This is brand new and just been installed. I'll take...

Hi There, Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of an Atlantic F127 electric heater? They seem simple enough, it has 2 modes Basic and Prog and the manual says Basic means manual, so set the temp and it will kick in or out depending on the current temperature, and Prog whereby it should...

As attached everything on, last night turned one of the storage heaters on as well at the wall, set it to input 1 and output 1 as a test and nothing this morning. No water and no heat from the heater So it’s just not kicking in overnight, Nothing seems to happen I’ve asked my friend to contact...

Hi there, yes all switches up, I tried the immersion on its own and nothing so thought I’d just switch them all in case they were labelled incorrectly I’ve opened the cap and taken a photo, it looks different to the one you sent but the hole on the left between the 2 screws is maybe a reset...

Hello All, Im really sorry to trouble you again, at the weekend we finally tested the immersion, by switching all 4 trip switches on at the consumer unit and the main ECU etc, but the hot water did not heat overnight it’s all turned on, just nothing at all happened is there anything simple...

Excellent thank you, it’s all sounding far less scary then it did a week ago lol

Hi there, I’ve attached a pic of the boiler and one of the boost, now I look again I have no reason to believe the wires are the wrong way round at the bottom, I thought the bottom one had a light on it that was lit up and therefore because the consumer unit was off for the off peak stuff it...

Ah ok, yeh I’m getting to grips with this now, I’ll send some pictures tomorrow to clarify a couple of bits, I just want it to be right as the person living there is so worried about all this and the expense of the bills etc, I just want it clear and easy for them the boost isn’t a switch it’s...

You are so much help honestly thank you so much for taking the time to respond I’m at the house tomorrow so will send some pictures of the tank, I read also that the boost only heats the top half of the tank, but that confused me because it looks to me like the wire at the bottom of the tank is...

Thank you so much, that’s correct it’s turned off currently and the boost is being used once each day for an hour and that provides enough hot water for the whole day, it doesn’t get used again I’m wondering if switching the overnight heat on instead, although at a cheaper rate will likely...
