Hi. We had a similar problem, sounded like the water was boiling inside, when the shower was on and water pressure varying. It was under a 2 year warranty and a repairman came and changed most of the insides. 2 years later, the same happened again, so we sold the house :lol:. Well we moved...

Hi First post on this forum, so a big hello! I'm looking at renovating a house which needs rewiring and I'm wondering how much access is required. There are ceilings that need renewing and floors to be lifted for other work but is it better to get the rewiring done with that access made...
