Do you know if these are readily available in places like B and Q

The washing machine is going to be installed in the exact same place! I am living overseas at the moment so I dont know the intricacies of what is going on, but it looks like the old hose is not long enough for some reason. I wonder if it is 'cos the old machine was an indesit and the new one a...

I have just have a new washing machine delivered. I had paid curry's to fit it for me, but they refused once they were in teh house on the grounds that the hose was not long enough. So I paid someone off the yellow pages to come and do the job. I explained to him that the hose was apparantly an...

I had a pump installed to my bathroom upstairs and though it is extremely loud, the pressure in that bathroom is fine. But the shower room in the middle floor has extremely poor pressure. I dont want to install another pump, as I cant bear the thought of 2 loud pumps at the same time. Are there...

Basically my carpets are a bit stained and to make matters worse I think they are harboring moths. I need to have the carpets washed. I need a carpet washer which is 'idiot proof' as I dont want to risk injuring myself or shrinking the carpets. Which ones are the easiest to use? Do you have to...

Removed my post. Thanks for the responses.

sachets, but with very little success. Have cleaned the place inside out many times. It's the moths which eat your clothes. Not the food ones.

coming up on the boiler display. Also, both the heating and the hot water seem to come on at the same time and not independantly as required. Had British Gas out many times and eventually they concluded that the boiler had been wired in wrong when it was installed 4 years ago and since it...

Its just that I know the contractor who fitted the boiler would make necessary changes if I said that a respected authority demanded it. I just cant find a respected authority to let me know either way the status of my boiler!

I want a respected independant party to tell me which plumber to trust.Who are G3 regs? Do they have a website or contact details. Perhaps they can send someone round to examine the installation.

The boiler is an 'Unvented Mains Pressure Water Heater' and the company is Pullin Evolution Stainless steel unvented. I have a website for them on the product manual but it seems to be for an italian website: http://www.varem.com/ Oh well, I have emailed Trading standards and am waiting to...

Building control have informed me that they will not get involved since we had not notified them via the 'Building Notice' route of our intention of fitting an unvented boiler. So I am back at square one. Its one plumbers word against anothers. And even if it is an unsafe installation, it...

Hi there, Just noticed your post. I have a horrible feeling you have hit the nail on the head. Hopefully the original plumber will sort this situation out. Having spoken to building control, it appears he would need to be certified to carry out the installation. And if he is not certified...

The boiler was fitted very recently and I am still waiting (after severel emails) for the tenants to confirm the name of boiler. All I know right now is that it is an unvented boiler. Unfortunately, I do not live in the UK currently. Huge thanks to all the replies so far. I have got a...

Building control have sent an email confirming that they have no problem with that kind of boiler providing it is properly installed. But the concern appears to be, according to the new plumber, that the plastic overflow pipe of the boiler currently drops down from the heater cupboard and...

The cable is fine. The hob is 4 years old. I just located my warranty agreement and they have agreed to send someone out to look at it. :0) Thanks for responding though.

*sheepishly* I believe that term was also mentioned in reference to the boiler.

Apparantly, the management has a person on site who inspects the boiler every year to ensure that it does not pose a threat to the development. This person now tells me that he would not be able to approve the boiler as in his mind it does pose a threat and would not be covered by my building...

The oven still seems to be working okay, but none of the hotplates on the hob will turn on/heat up for some reason. Seeing as the oven and the digital clock/timer are still working it's obviously not something simple like a blown fuse in the cooker plug, and I've had a look around the cooker...

Basically I own a flat in London. The whole property runs on electricity (boiler, radiators, cooker etc). So anyway, the boiler stopped working and I had a new boiler fitted. The new boiler also runs on electricity. But I understand the old system used a non-pressurised system and this one uses...
