There are water ingress stains and mold around where the grout was cracked. I really need to know why the grout cracked in the 1st place so I can get it right this time, do you have any ideas? I was thinking of doing the following: 1) Let it dry out for a few weeks 2) Prime the ply with...

Yesterday I noticed there was a slight leak under by bath/shower. I assumed this was down to a sealant leak, so started removing all silicon sealant from around the bath. I soon noticed some tiles were loose and the grout was cracked. I began removing the loose tiles, the adhesive didn’t...

I’ve fixed this problem. However, about 2weeks on, I get the 30C red light flashing when I turn on the hot water. The manual tells me this is a flame failure. If the problem is on the gas side of the boiler I’m getting a pro in. I just need to know the likely problem before I ring my...

Thanks all, especially the fellow Norfolk lad.

New diaphragm in the DHW pressure differential valve??? Thanks for all your help so far PS Do I have to use Baxi spares or are generic parts available?

I’m having a slightly strange problem with my Baxi 105e combination boiler. If I turn on the hot water tap in the kitchen the boiler will not kick in and I only get cold water. However, if I then open another tap in the house, the boiler will fire. This usually only happens in the...

Hi I’m in the market for a decent set of auger bits to mainly be used cutting out mortise locks, night latches, etc. I’ve been toying with the following sets: http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=2719 http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=149544 I’m not a professional but I...

Hi I’m about to undertake the task of adding an extra radiator to my central heating system. I’ve made loads of soldered joints before above the floorboards but never below. Unfortunately, I’ve only got a cheap torch which will put itself out when turned upside down. Can anyone suggest a...

Hi I’ve just spent the weekend ripping up my bathroom tiles which were laid on 4mm ply on top of timber floorboards. Now, I quite like the idea of having painted white floorboards in the bathroom but I’m a little worried constant exposure to moisture might cause wet/dry rot. Does anyone...

Thanks for you input The wiring is not a problem because my brother is an electrician and I’ve had a look at the boiler manual and it looks quite easy. I take it I put the boiler on constant and then the thermostat will turn the boiler on and off. Thanks for the wireless input. Do you...

This is the 4th in the series of the problems in my “new” house. I have a Baxi 105e combi boiler system. When the central heating turns on, one of the downstairs radiators remains cold. I have tried: 1) Turning all other radiators off and just allowing flow to this radiator 2) Removing...

This is the 3rd in the series of the problems in my “new” house. I have a Baxi 105e combi boiler system. When I 1st moved in the pressure when the unit was turned off was 0bar, and when on, 0.5bar. I have topped up the system so it sits at 1.0bar when off but shoots up to 2.0bar when...

Thanks…. 1) Only got gas out of the 1st floor rads 2) The boiler was turned off 3) There was more gas (just bleed the top rads just now) 4) The water was clear 5) I’ve just given the lock shield valve a few turns on the 1st radiator and the system is virtually silent Thanks for...

Evening all I’ve just moved into a new house with a Baxi 105e combi boiler. Everytime the central heating is switched on I can hear a reasonably loud “rushing water” sound from the radiators. I friend of mine thinks it could be air in the system. I have bled all the radiators and the...

Each radiator has a TRV but I really want a way to program when the heating comes on too. E.g. longer running times at weekends as apposed to during the week. Will most units be compatible with by boiler, so do I need a special unit???

Hi This is my 1st post. I have just moved into a Victorian house with a Baxi Combi 105e boiler. There is currently no room thermostats anywhere in the house. To save on heating bills, I was thinking of installing a thermostat in the living room. Is this an easy job for a novice...
