    how to fix my leaking shower enclosure

    Have to agree with snes that the screen is not fitted correctly. Only reason they have done like this is to conceal the joint between tray and floor tile. The wall jam has to be fully on the tray so you will see white on the outside of the glass. Seal the glass to tray and jam to tray and the...

    Goodbye boulters

    Totally agree. Great boilers from the Camray 3 with the Mectron burner. would run forever. Even the big Pathfinders were great to, enjoyed having to build them when a tight location.

    Help for boiler installed without Bypass and without overrun

It may need a visit by another company to rectify if you don't want the installer...

    There is a terminal to wire the pump to and there must be some other issue if the system needs flushed so soon. I have never had to power flush a system in my 30 plus years in the business but do do chemical flush as per manu instructions on new installs. Boiling the boiler will not help as if...

    Help for boiler installed without Bypass and without overrun

    It a Ultracom what? several boilers with name but is it a system, combi, Hxi? If combi has a by-pass built into the boiler. If a system it has a by-pass built in if Ultracom 2 but the pump over run could be wired back to the wiring centre. Not the usual way to do it but it could be done easily.
