I have a boiler that is about 18 years old and I had it serviced round about this time last year by a local CORGI registered heating engineer that I found in the local newspaper. He never offered, and I never asked, for any certificate or paperwork for doing the work. My question is this ...

Is the "potential" part around the pilot area expensive ?

The pilot light on my boiler went out yesterday and I didnt notice until there was no heating or hot water this morning. I tried all day to reignite, by putting water & heating control on the timer to continuous and by putting thermostat switch to high, as advised by the manufacturer...

Problem is , the piled up soil is under decking and it means taking all this down and digging down around 3/4 feet , which I was hoping somehow to avoid doing. That was why I was wondering whether you could put the dampproof membrane on the inside and scredding as the water is already in the...

Hi, I have moved into a house with a detatched garage. Problem is , every time it rains it gets flooded with inches of water. I have had a new garage door (with rubber seal at the bottom) fitted as well as a new UPVC side entrance door and nothing has helped. I got a builder out who...

Hi Guys, Just dropping you all a line to let you know that my problem is now solved. The cold water feed to the bathroom mixers (basin & bath), which was being run off mains , was returned to tank fed. Job done (as suggested elsewhere in this thread) !!! Thanks for all your help guys...

The remedy is to balance the supplies. Does that mean that if I put the cold supply to my bathroom tub and basin back onto gravity fed , as opposed to mains , this will balance with them and save me from having to fit an NRV to the bath mixer ? Also , if this is correct and I do this and...

The ELECTRIC shower I have fitted is a CREDA 53-555081. It is plumbed into mains.

The cold water mains feed to the whole bathroom was turned off for about 5 hours yesterday. During that time , the toilet was flushed once and a couple of taps where ran briefly. This took the water level in the storage tank well below the overflow pipe and I checked periodically that the...

A blockage where ?

I cannot do that to all the cold water taps as the cold water pressure is too week to fill the bathroom basin , let alone the bath. Believe you me buddy , by Christ I wish that I bloody well could fix it because it is driving me mad.

Dunno why that is there to be honest , as well as the brass handle under it. Both appear to control the mains feed into the storage tank and are on the same pipe so therefore only 1 would be needed. to cut off or turn on the mains supply.

The gravity feed pressure on the cold side was very slow when filling a bath. It took around 1 hour to run and fill a bath so the cold water feed was tapped into the mains instead and the cold gravity blocked off.

yes you could fit it in the loft but the bath would be better if possible. Whats the difference between fitting in the loft and fitting under the bath ?

Can I ask how you reach this conclusion from the information provided ? What was the purpose of turning of the cold feed to the bathroom tub and basin taps to arrive at a problem with the hot water feed on the bath itself ? Can I not fit a NRV to the hot water supply in the loft instead ...

Duly noted Sir

Right guys , the mains fed cold water supply to the bathroom has been off all day now and the problem hasnt surfaced - yet !! Assuming that this is where the problem lies , what do I do next ? Here is a couple of pictures of the storage & header tanks in my loft , just in case it helps :

Here are the answers to your questions : I do not have a combi boiler. I have fitted a NRV to the hot water supply to the mixer tap in the kitchen and also to the hot water tap under the basin in the bathroom but NOT to the bath maixer , as you mention. The header tank and expension...

OK but the water is not currently coming out just now and the bath was run for a period of time this morning , to reduce the water level , as it was coming out first thing this morning and last thing last night. If I try all the other outlets (hot & cold) and the water doesnt overflow (and I...
