Hello, a brief question which I'm sure someone on this excellent site will be able to answer : Having successfully bought/installed a new cartridge for one shower, we then tackled another shower: Bristan Pisa Shower was running tepid water. We took out cartridge (approx 4 years old): no evident...

Thank you all for your previous advice.... I promised an update on the pole mark story ! History: 3.10.2017 Stair carpet ordered & deposit paid over phone. Told after deposit paid that fitting won't be till end of month as fitter 'hospitalised with hand injury). It was finally fitted early...

Hi, both Crazydaze and Lower have offered more insights into this pole mark phenomenon. However did I manage life before knowing about it ?? Thanks for your comments: I had a chat with the seller and we agreed to see how the pole mark is after the NY. He said he may be able to get hold of...

Thanks all, esp. to Doggit for saying I should relax: I'll ring them in the morning and hopefully we'll negotiate something satisfactory to both sides ! Will let you know ! & tx again for the interest taken.

Is it likely that a pole mark would be 15-16" in from the edge of the carpet ?? On thinking about this, I believe I ordered a carpet and didn't expect it to come with extra bother. Otherwise I would have ordered a carpet with extra bother ! Am feeling a bit fed up that, during the...

Thank you foxhole for your advice. I think that is what I'd ideally like to do, but am conflicted about what is ethical & obviously he & I are coming at it from opposite positions. Doggit : unfortunately, no offcuts : I think the pre-measuring was very precise. Also, as he turned up late...

Brilliant idea Motman. I guess it's an article of faith that it will disappear & if it takes 3 weeks to a month to disappear, then he gets fully paid in 3 weeks to a month ! Wonder if I'll have the brass nerve ! Thank you.

Thanks Muggles, that's a relief, so I'll get back in touch with him for the next service - always supposing he's willing to do it ! Incidentally, in reply to an earlier reply to my post, he did supply the fan. VERY appreciative of the help supplied by everyone on this board !

Thank you (Motman & Footprints) for replying. Gave me courage to speak to carpet guy (see below) & he has received the same photos I posted on this thread. I have only paid the deposit so far. I've rubbed lightly & hoovered as you suggest, but didn't want to damage it, in case he says it's my...

Thanks all, work is now complete: boiler and Megaflo serviced + fitting of Magnaclean abov boiler to filter out metal bits and fitting of new fan ... £450. Is that reasonable ? (Am thinking of nxt year's servicing) but am thankful this year's is now done & dusted. Tx again for yr advice...

Hello, I would love advice re: new carpet on the flat part of a winder looks as if it has a join across its width, 8" in from (& parallel to) the edge. Depth of tread is 22" at its deepest point. So it is pretty obvious, and visitors have remarked that it's an odd place to have a join. The...

Wow, once again I am blown away by the brilliant contributions on this site. Will find out serial number and let you know how I get on ! Thanx so much again !

Sorry, realise I haven't directly answered your question> I've tried to contact him by phone to ask him to fit fan, but he's probably working & usually returns calls late in the day. I've also left him a text message. Am thinking that by the time he gets to know the situation (cupboards off...

Because the gas engineer (who hasn't yet seen the site) said a fan probably isn't necessary yet and that when & if the current one fails, he will come round & fit one. But to get access to the boiler (I.e. take the cover off) meant prising 2 adjacent kitchen cupboards off the wall, breaking open...

Need one for Saturday morning (if poss.) : can anyone point me to an authentic supplier of parts in north London, or a supplier that can do quick (24 hour?) delivery of a fan that my gas engineer (coming on Saturday) will consider is good enough (quality-wise) for him to put in my boiler. He's...

Thanks Doggit, you've given me a structure for dealing with the engineers who came/will come to look at the boiler. I don't deal with these situations every day so it's hard to anticipate what they are likely to say/do & also hard to know how to respond when they're here, as they are the experts...

Not so much a reply, as a question, as I don't know where else to post this ... A guy came round to service my boiler(Greater London): couldn't get the front off, so left: charge: £70. My partner took it off & I got another company in to look at it, with the cover taken off to facilitate their...

Thanks Sparkymarka, I'll order a keypad straight away. Btw, the battery has been replaced - I did it myself approx. 2 years ago, after consulting people on this board. At the time I wasn't too sure I could get the new battery to work and didn't want to obliterate the note about the previous...

Following up: if (a) Sparkymarka can work out if my control panel has 8 zone lights, (b) I can get hold of a keypad from Ebay can anyone suggest an engineer who lives/works near North Circular (Friern Barnet/Finchley) that they would recommend to carry out fitting as per my original email ...

Found the eBay keypads : he has got 45 left at the moment, so I need to act pretty quickly. re: the panel having 8 zone lights - I've no idea, but attach photo, in case you can identify zone lights from it ... Hope this isn't taking too much time out of your day .... tx
