Hi A local roofing company has accidentally (?) replaced the lead flashing around our soil stack with a plastic alternative. The soil stack goes straight through the roof. Apparently the roofer was given the wrong address & he replaced it while we where out. The question is should I get...

Hi I wish to replace my gold door handles to some chrome ones but I have an unusual tubular latch on my internal French doors. Does anyone know what this is called so I can find a replacement? Thanks

So the boiler was serviced 2 weeks ago and all has been fine until this morning, it failed to ignite for the hw and the hw sensor led flashed. Quickly resolved by unplugging the sensor and reconnecting it. The plumber said to change the air pressure switch if it happens again. When he...

Yes, we have it serviced every year. It's being serviced on Friday. The boiler is 9 years old but I'm not sure if it was on an existing system as it was here when we moved in. It's hard to tell. Cheers

Hi I've got a very frustrating Baxi 105e which seems to have a hot water sensor issue. Every so often the hot water goes cold, then hot, then cold etc but it does not happen every time. When this happens you can hear the boiler ignite to heat the water then it cuts out and tries a few...

I suppose the other obvious question, is there a limit to how many individual channels you can have, say 16mm deep?

Thanks, is that 1/3 of the total wall or just the depth of the breeze blocks?

Hi I wish to hang my plasma on the wall & hide all the cables: 3 x hdmi 1 x coaxial 1 x Ethernet 1 x power Ideally I'd like to channel each cable in a big enough channel so they can removed or changed without replastering. Instead of doing individual channels for each cable in...

Thanks for all the help, I think I'm going to extend the ring main off the existing JB. The main is already rcd protected

extending the ring main means channelling in 2 2.5 cables in the wall. I only really need a spur, but thanks anyway

Hi I want to add another junction box spur to a ring main. There is already a junction box with a spur in the area I wish to add another one. Is there a minimum distance the junction boxes need to be apart. The existing spur is a single 13amp single socket & I wish to add a double...

Thanks Tony. I did buy a cheap NTC off ebay so probably best to start with that. I hope its not the PCB!

Hi I have an intermittent faulty hot water sensor flashing light. Basically the DHW works fine but about 3 times a week it stops working & the faulty hot water sensor light flashes so I turn the boiler off for 10 seconds then back on and the light stops flashing and the DHW works fine again...

In December last year my boiler started to sing so following advice on the forum I replaced the 2 o-rings in the 3 way assembly valve. I replaced the rubber o-rings on the DHW push rod & the CH push rod. This instantly stopped the high pitch noise. I had the left overs of an overhaul kit from...

Hi, I know this post was posted over 4 years ago but did you resolve the issue? I've got the same issue & thought it was the o-rings in the boiler 3-way assembly valve. I changed these and the pipes stopped singing for a month but no its back!
