Hi all. Recently had a blocked toilet, after exhausting a lot of options they cut a hole in the soil vent pipe to get access to blockage which was caused by a damaged rest bend. The rest bend is due to be repaired under house insurance but I need to get a seperate quote for pipe repair, will get...

not sure about that youllneverguess, he has done the servicing for years and at previous properties and my mates too. Agile, there is a buried section, I asked about a leak/danger, he said he would cut me off there and then if he suspected a leak. I dont have the readings but i could get them...

cheers youllneverguess, sorry meant him to check readings and check pipe, I wont be touching it.

thanks for replies, I'm not at home so cant check the pressures, will do tomorrow though. if pipework is undersized and needs replacing I think the internal re-route is prob best action. sound like from suggestions I should get him back in to double check readings and try to clear pipe before...

cheers, he did clean the gas valve filter and there was a bit of crap in there but that didnt resolve it, so he began looking at pipework. he had me blow through the pipe (meter was taken off) and although air came through he still suspected a blockage.

Hi Gremlin. I dont know, just googled it there, I can check with him but he didn't mention it when I quizzed him on how there could be a blockage in a concealed pipe.

hi, had my boiler serviced and engineer has diagnosed a drop in pressure of gas between inlet and boiler since he last serviced it. boiler is in full working order. he tested presure of gas coming in to house which is fine. he suspects either blockage in the pipe or damage to the pipe(which he...

thanks Whitespirit, plumber has fixed for me now, new o ring needed, I have permanently damaged lever but just means it comes off when using but I can live with that to keep the old taps in place, cheers

hi all. have had decent advice here in the past so thanks for any replies.Recently noticed when having shower that when I added cold water some cold water also came through the bath tap, took the mixer lever off to get to taps and see if it was a washer but the screw snapped before I got the...

thanks for replies. is the jumper something I could check myself? would need to look it up first, sorry Im a bit rubbish. there is a service valve where I have turned off the water before but this turns off all water in to the house. cheers

hi. cold water is gone from bathroom sink tap upstairs. cold water is fine in bath and in sink downstairs in kitchen, all hots are fine too. all water comes in from outside mains so there is no tank in the loft. any ideas? air lock maybe! if no simple solution will get a plumber out. Could this...

thanks Tony, its a Baxi Combi Instant 105e

thanks Joe, there is a heating/hot water setting and then hot water only setting, turning it to hot water only has improved it. I have never had the preheat knob turned around very far just left it where it was when I moved in. I presume this would also help, is it expensive to have the boiler...

hi there, have searched this topic and found some replies which have given me some food for thought. basically have a combi boiler, shower upstairs is only barely reasonable temp to take a shower, however I do notice it at this time of year,each year. my question is does the outside temp affect...

thanks Breezer, I wouldnt even know where to start with that. can i do something like connect to a plastic box and then cable from there to switch, like in a ceiling rose?

thanks, I have tried to replace the timeguard switch and did get it working properly momentarily, but a wire broke when i went to screw the switch back in place and now wont reach the switch to re wire it. how can i extend the cable?

could this have resulted in now not being able to turn the light off at the switch. is taking the bulb out the same as switching a light off, should I be concerned with the power continously running to the light?

hi guys (and girls) moved in recently, the light on landing upsatirs controlled by a Timeguard switch and can turn it on/off at bottom of stairs on normal switch. one night bulb went but also the red light on Timeguard switch. didnt work after that, checked all wiring. now when I tried again...

thanks, any particular brand. what about slipping, it butts up agianst a wall, what should I use to secure in underneath
