Hi guys. I've just had my home repainted.My dad was a painter and decorator and it was him who did it last and did a great job but he's no longer here,so I got a guy who's been painting for years to do it. There is lining paper on the walls and the walls looked great before,even he said it...

He's not a floor fitter as such but a joiner so I guess/hope it'll be a good enough job. I just can't understand how it's costing so much to floor a living room with a tiny kitchen space,small hall and a bedroom. I'm wondering if because it was just a quick measurement if he has over measured as...

I couldn't do it myself. A guy doing it as a homer has quoted £350? That laminate looks quite expensive.Cheapest is about £25 per square meter.If I need 40 That's about a grand just for my flooring?It's a tenement flat one bedroom living room with adjoing kitchen. I might just have to go with...

Hi folks. I'm having to have my whole flat(1 bedroom)re floored with laminate due to a new boiler being fitted and ripping up my floor :( It was measured quickly and I was told that I need 40m squared(He measured for some extra) I was looking at prices and was a bit shocked as I thought the...

Thanks Dan. I suppose what I'm getting at is would I be better having the room stat up higher and the CH setting on the boiler down or just leave it as it is with the room sat at 21-22-23 and the CH on the boiler up full What makes more sense economically to have a nice warm room/house? Last...

Dan sorry if these questions sound a bit "dumb" but after years of having a more simpler but old back boiler/gas fire set up it is a bit more confusing to someone like myself who doesn't know the fist thing about plumbing or the likes. So when it's cold like it is now,where would you have these...

Hi folks, Still getting this egg timer symbol flashing constantly?It definitely never used to flash like this before so not sure what's changed to cause this? On a slightly different matter,I'm actually still getting used to how the combi boiler operates.I didn't get a...

Cheers Dan.

Ha!She doesn't Dan it's just the valve at the end of the radiators.There only is one on each.There's setting I II III IIII and full.Regardless of where they are set the heating comes on full. I was told they are not meant to affect the temp of the water/radiator only the amount of air? This...

Cheers Owain.That is indeed what I meant!

Ah!I see.It's not like that with us.I please myself anyway mate :) That was a typo I meant Full on(Typing too fast)Basically there isn't any noticable difference in heat regardless of where the thermostatic valves are set?

Dan what is SWMBO?I don't know a thing about the workings of a boiler.I'm just en end user! Is there a reason that the amount of heat coming from the radiators doesn't change between say one and dull on?By the way the boiler/radiators are only 9 months old. TIA

Thanks Dan. Is there anything that could have caused this to come in to play all of a sudden? In 9 months,I have never seen that egg timer symbol? Thank you. Dan any advice regarding the radiator thermostatic valve settings please?

Hi folks.I have a Vaillant ecotec pro 28.Central heating is working and hot water is too but an egg timer symbol has appeared that was never there before?No settings have been changed.Does anyone know what this means please? Also I have thermostatic valves on 3 of the radiators but I've noticed...

It was fitted in april and manufactured late 2013.There is a small screen on the left hand side with with 4 buttons to adjust hot water temp etc.The top has an "i" and the bottom has a little ladders symbol?

Hi folks.No dripping taps or anything.There is an i "section" with 4 buttons under it.Which one should be pressed? Thanks folks.

Thanks for the replies folks.What's the frost stat? P.s the radiators aren't heating up as the thermostat is turned off,it's just for a few seconds you can hear the pipes at the radiator as if it were about to start heating up. Also the boiler keeps making a clicking sound. I don't want to...

It was installed back in april so fairly new yeah.I haven't a clue what the 24 volt link is though?

Thanks for your reply.There isn't a pre heat setting.There is a "Comf" setting so the water is constantly at the same temp but it is turned off?Also it would only let me turn the hot water temp down to 35 no further.I have turned it back to 65 and I'll see how it goes and report back.

Hi folks.My combi boiler is making noises even though it's not being used. It happens quite often too.It's as if the boiler is firing up and sending water to the radiators for a few seconds. The boiler itself is making a noise and you can also hear the water flowing through the pipes to the...
