Yep changed the fuse with the same rating and still dead. Didn't actually occur to me to check the fuse board- trying to phone home to get the Mrs to see if it's tripped. Be a massive result if it wasn't dead! Will keep you posted!

Ok cool cheers for your help. Will the control unit need replacing is is it just not working due to a lack of power? Is the boiler likely to be damaged or is again likely to be a lack of power issue?

Last night I needed some hot water quickly so switched on the immersion heater which is normally switch off. There was a loud bang. The Honeywell control unit which is attached to a fuse next to the immersion heater switch/fuse went blank and the boiler shut down. I tried changing the fuse...

Cool bit of peace of mind. She seemed fairly sound so I assume if there were any major issues so would have had them fixed. Yep cooker fine once it's lit. Cheers

Hi, We just bought a house and in the info pack there's an invoice dated 2002 from a corgi engineer titled 'tested gas and electrics to cooker'. It goes on to say 'advised miss x cooker not fitted to latest specification (cooker tube loop and stability brocket not fitted)'. When you first...

Hi folks, Work done about 3-4 years ago. If I say work done already will they not just want to see the previous owners building regs? Cheers

Hi, We're in the process of selling our home. Whilst living here I have replaced the Kitchen on a like for like basis with some minor movement of the electrics. I have also put in a new bathroom but on the other side of a stud wall if that makes sense. So the old spare room is now the...

Ok so re-point and then repaint is the way to go then? How much roughly should the re-pointing be say per m2?

Not sure! Some form of paint stripper or something. What would you guys do it my situation? The flank wall is prob the worst in terms of pointing but obviously nobody sees that so would it be money wasted getting that sorted?

Interesting. We're in East London. The quotes were from proper brick referb companies if that makes sense. I spose the issue is that once you re-point do you not either need to repaint or do a full referb as it'll look messy given it's currently painted?

Hi, I live in an end of terrace Victorian house in London. The pointing is in a bad way and is made worse by the house being painted an awful terracotta colour. I've had some brick refurb firms quote up to 15k to re-point the whole house, strip the paint and restore the bricks to their...

Spoke to WB and they confirmed that he's a bronze member. I assume it's a fairly straight forward job and if he's gone to the trouble of being a member he know's what he's doing. Any ideas how long a job like this will take? Straight swap, power flush and remote thermostat install. The rad...

Don't understand. So my chap pays yet doesn't appear on their search yet others don't pay yet appear on the search? But bottom line not much to worry about? Almost he doesn't need to go out of his way to attract business hence possibly suggesting a good word of mouth rep?

Hi, Had a few quotes to get a new 30SI installed as a replacement for my old boiler including power flush and wireless thermostat. They were 1900, 2200 and 2500. With the bigger two done during the cold snap! Anyways accepted the lowest quote as he was a WB register installer and could give a...

Interesting... It was only done the other day and cost me 100 quid but I didn't realise there'd be an issue so didn't stress we needed it flush to the wall. It has a kink at the top to bring the supply out to the hob connecter- if there was a longer kink then the rest of the pipe could in theory...

Yeah it's a copper pipe. It prob gets hot but not hot enough that it can't be packed fluchly in an MDF cabinet. The other issue with it touching is I don't want to break the seal- are these gas pipes quite tough to a bit of leaning? I might be just being paranoid bout all this- as I said builder...

Hi, Just done up the kitchen and I've got an electric oven underneath a gas hob. The gas pipe to the hob runs from the floor to the hob directly behind the oven about 3 cm off the wall. There's not alot of space back there and I presume the back of the oven is touching the gas pipe to some...
