Cheers.

No, they were painted 7 years ago and have been untouched since.

In January I had a leak from somewhere which I hope has now been sorted out. The INTERIOR (and exterior) walls are dry, but I now have to paint the kitchen as there are two, one foot vertical streaks down the side of the window where the water that leaked into the kitchen from above the window...

Many thanks for that - doesn't seem that you need much wet to cause carnage! +++++++++++++++++++ Moderator's note Welcome to the forums. Please familiarise yourself with http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=19448 You have posted three threads with the same problem. Mod...

In my ground floor kitchen I have two windows about 18" x 18" and a piece of wall of a similar size seperating them. I went away for 4 weeks, the house was empty, so no bath/shower etc was being used. On my return I found two brown streaks of damp (still wet to the touch) down the outside edges...

cheers for that Meldrew's Mate - one final q - if the sync thing is the problem would this cause the red light to come on continously??

Dear Meldrew's Mate, I have just popped upstairs and moved the temp guage from 50c to 60c and "Bingo" the green is back on we are firing up! Well done Sir. Does this mean that the syncronous thing in the 3-way valve is causing my boiler's red light to come on ?? and if so why?? Also I had a...

hmmmm still confused so where is the problem then please????

yes that is the case - it is sometimes red for two hours in the evening from about 7pm-9pm i.e it fires up, then locks out, then comes back to life. (I set it to come on at 5am-8am and again 6pm-10pm). A few weeks ago when it locked out the red light flashed so I pushed the re-set button and...

The light on my Potterton Suprima 60 (don't laugh) boiler occasionally goes red and stays red i.e it is a lock-out and I understand that this is a common fault! Then it frees itself and frees up and the little green light comes on and all is well. However when the green light comes on, I turn...

I'm ashamed to say (and doon't laugh!!) that it is a Potterton Suprima 60 - it came with the house - not my choice!

Sometimes the red light on the boiler flashes to denote a "lock-out" and other times I get a solid non-flashing red light for up to two hours whereupon the rads cool and nowt is possible until it turns itself back on. Am I right in thinking the former is a boiler problem and the latter an...

I have moved in to an old house and a Potterton Suprima 60 boiler came with the Victorian abode ..................... and guess what ?? - yep, it's not very good. If a nice CORGI chap cannot fix the PCB (whatever that is???) how much would a replacement boiler cost and can anyone recommend a...

Having been on and working all day the red light is now on (not flashing) and the heaters have gone cold. I have pushed the reset button but no joy - any ideas, in the past it has fired up when the reset button has been pushed?

The temperature is controlled by a thermostat upstairs which is a silly plave to place one so I use the controls on the boiler to turn on the central heating whenever it is cold enough to require their use.

I have 4 rads downstairs and 3 upstairs. The large one is the front room farthest away from the boiler sometimes heats to a normal temp and sometimes heats to a lukewarm/cool temp and on inspection the top half is warm and bottom half cool - which seems an odd way round. I have bled it and it...

From you helpful people on here I have deduced that, like many before me my Suprima 60 boiler has a fault that is a common one - it often cuts out when it has heated the water. If I call out a CORGI chap to replace the pcb (what's that stand for?) - how much will that cost me roughly? And can...

Looks like I have problems with the stat and need a new PCB as my Potterton Suprima 60 boiler keeps cutting out when set at 50c (but not 40c). I have insurance with Direct Line which enables me to call out a plumber or CORGI chap for central heating - can I expect them to install a new PCB as it...
