    pipes vibrating and making a noise but boiler is off

    ...This noise started a few weeks ago after our 3 port valve was changed by an incompetent engineer from Glowarn. Our overflow was leaking heavily soon after but a new plumber found that it was because the F & E tank lid was faulty and was leaning on the ball valve causing it to overflow The lid...

    BOILER SWITCHING TO RESET

    Thank u. My partner and I have personally lost respect for plumbers. Most of them do the job for money and feel they don't owe their customers a duty of care. 10% are genuine and 90% are cowboys who studied plumbing because they needed something to get them off the dole queue. Since Dec 24...

    Did you ever post a picture of the F&E tank...the insides...that will give an indication of the system.[/size] Yes I did. We took the advice given on the forum and got rid of Glowarm. They had completely messed up our system and after 3 separate visits could not tell us what the problems was...

    BOILER SWITCHING TO RESET

    ..No. i disagree. The boiler and central heating system were installed by Glowarm brand new. I agree that their annual servicing is of poor quality and value and i cannot recommend them but it served us well all these time with no problems.

    SECURITY LIGHTS IN BACK GARDEN FRONT ENTRANCE NOT WORKING

    ...believe me we tried to contact him for about 6 months after the problem but all to no avail. He just disappeared into thin air. When we eventually got him he said he has tried his best. I know those who are reading this may be laughing at us but to get a reliable handyman or plumber is like...

    OVERFLOW LEAKING AND RADIATORS MAKING SO MUCH NOISE

    Pictures of the tank in the loft. It looks like the lid on the tank had collapsed (sunk deeply in the middle) and fell into the tank and the weight of the lid collapsed on the ball. The weight on the ball increased the pressure in the tank causing it to overflow. We only saw one tank and...
