Thanks everyone. I measured the flow rate last night. Bathroom sink just over 3l per minute when fully turned to hot (mixer tap) and 4l when cold. Shower was just over 4l per minute. Both called hot water. Oh and yes recourse to the installer is my focus. I had a boiler that fired at all...

Thanks everyone, very much appreciate it. Agile / Tony - in the context of my knowledge of the house, the shower is flowing as freely as it ever has - and hot water from the previous boiler always triggered when the shower ran. Appreciate a proper measurement is required. I'm going to attempt...

Thanks. I don't recall them doing this. I had a quote from an independent chap a while back and he used a tool to measure the flow rate of the bath taps. He said it was fine. Don't recall the British Gas people doing so. Should they have documented this? Does it sound like a flow rate issue to...

British Gas are the installer - I'm second guessing their response which will be that the water pressure into the house isn't strong enough. I called the chap who installed it an hour after he left and he suggested it was due to this, but it then worked, and I put it down to a teething issue...

Hi all, I had a new boiler installed on Thursday, a Worcester Bosch / Greenstar 30i compact All works well, heating is great... except our shower (which sits above the bath), which is sometimes OK (never really hot), sometimes hot/cold intermittently, and sometimes cold. On the front panel...

Cheers buddy. Made a start today and came to the same conclusion. That's my job for the summer sorted ha

Morning My 'storm porch' i.e. the small pitched roof that covers the front door and adjacent living room window, is tired underneath. Paint is starting to flake. My question is... how far should I go back with the sanding? Take it all off back to the wood - or just remove all loose stuff...

[/url] Thanks I've done a bit of detective work and found the part number on a US site Which when copied into Google led me to an ebay supplier in Burnley so I'll take the gamble for a tenner. Only one other supplier I found which was £25. The tap is a pain, had to search long and...

I've managed it - the circular bit above it unscrewed with a bit of force applied I now know what has happened - I have the cartridge and it's very split though you can't see it on the image Any idea where these might be sourced from?

You pivot it up to let water out - it's in the 'up. position in the pic actually. It spins around for hot/cold Hope that makes sense - and thanks

My bathroom mixer tap decided today that it would not turn off and instead ran constant hot water I've blanked off the pipes and taken the tap off, hoping I would find a washer that had gone that could be easily replaced Instead I found this - doesn't seem to be room to fit a tool in to...

Thanks a lot Will Why didn't I think of ebay ?!

Thank you. I googled it to death as well. Found a pair by lunns for 40 so you've saved me 20 quid! Just hope they are m8 and Ive not got some obscure imperial fitting...

Been in my property for 8 months and flexible tap tail in bathroom has been dripping, fixed by tightening a little, but the tap tail connector is now kaput. Threaded end has just come off tail. Took it to plumbers merchant but it's smaller than the standard m10. Though the thread looks a tad...

Just bought a house and was looking forward to setting my temperature via the stat (didn't have one previously) at a nice sensible heat. However I'm finding the heating is either 'off' or 'too hot'. The Honeywell T40 dial room stat, if I try to set it below 20, clicks ... and the heating...

Seems to have worked, thanks a lot, really appreciate it

Thank you I did a search or 3 and thought that was the problem Can I 're-charge' myself?
