Right im not going to get drawn into an argument with you about tenancy laws. I don't need to know them - im not the landlord. My mum is, and is registered with the council so will know about them. At no point is she saying they need to ask (hence why no lock box) but wants to provide a way...

No idea about what the law says.. it probably says it needs to be suitable - IE not very cold or very hot. But before you go shouting again - it's not about stoping them from being warm but stoping them from waisting power. By having a control that alows them to say - "im cold turn the heating...

The thermostat needs replacing for a wireless one anyway as it's currently in a room thats not heated by the CH (don't ask). Which is part of the problem as its heated inderpendly so the thermostat is warm enough for the room when the rest of the house is cold, and vise versa. edit:It's...

tsh 23 hours is nothing ;) basically my mum has some lodgers, one of which keeps setting the heating to constant on the current programmer as it's not got a temporary heating boost function. So were replacing it with one that does - but she want to ensure they have to come down to the...

Hi, I Was wondering if it was possible to limit the amount of time the CM927 party mode will allow? If not can any one recommend a decent wireless thermostat + timer that will allow either just a 1 hour heating boost (like the CM927s party mode) outside the normal set hours per boost...

HI, Ive poped down and have had a look at the install. They have put TRVs on all but one rad (the bathroom). looking at the location i think i'll get the tower as it'll be a easyer/cleaner install as long as it has a party mode like the cm927 thanks dan

There on the gas register so at least there legal. What will the GSR do? come and inspect the install? Not understanding/relising that theres no rad in the room may be the only issue. What do you mean thermal envelope? Its' in the main building but is the coldest room in the house, for £20...

Hi, I'm pretty sure none of the rads have TRV's fitted, infact im 99% if there is then it will be the 1 new rad that was put in recently. The room is a kitchen at the back of the house, with 2 exposed sides and 3/4 of the room has a slanted roof. So heat transfer is very little from the rest...

Hi, my mum has had a Main Combi 24HE installed recently however the installer saw fit to install the thermostat in a room that has no radiator so im looking at moving it or possably replacing it with a wireless one. The boiler has a intergrated 24h timer so im wondering if it's worth just...

i don't think they have a 'service' lamp. It may indicate that there is a issue with a sensor or somthing. I'll assume that you have read all the codes off it? Othrwise try asking on ffoc

I've got the same boiler, I've had the diafram replaced every year since having it to cure the same problem :(

cheers, will have a bash next weekend.

Hi, we have a Thermostatic shower (this one) thats started to buzz. If we turn the HW up a bit it normally goes away. What causes this and how to fix? At a guess is it because the water pressure is too high or not balanced? Cheers Dan

Hi, In one of our rooms the plaster/filler/whatever is coming away from where someone (no not me) has fed the CH pipes though the ceiling. It looks like they have just chucked a load of filler in there. What would be the best way to deal with this? I was planning on removing the...

I have looked but i feel due to the last owners lack of diy sense (or skill) they may have covered it or worse. JohnD: Is making the required change in the CU notifiable under part p?

How would you go about checking this is the case? cheers

Is it possible to have a house wired with no earth? My CU doest look like its got one :? I've taken a pic here Cheers Dan

Hi, I've got a halstead quattro combi boiler. Which about 2 weeks ago wouldn't fire for hot water or ch for a evening but came back the next day. We had British gas(we have there homecare thing) out who had a look and 'cleaned the fan' but has left an annoying rattle when it starts to heat...
