I have a Redring Expressions 520M shower. It runs off stored hot water. there is power to the unit but no water comes out. this has happened before, i leave it a day or so then it works fine for a while then stops again. Don't think it is an airlock as I lower the shower head to see if it...

Thank you, i've phoned another company (the last one wasn't a Company iykwim) who are coming out on Friday.

Thanks Gas2air, What would I be ringing them about?

I think you are right there. He is only 21 and a recent ex BG engineer. he also made a call to someone whilst here - he made it in his van so didn't hear what was said. I'll give someone else a ring tomorrow, been searching on checkatrade. thank you everyone for your advice, it's...

That's good to know boilerman2, I think my engineer was giving me BS then as he said it was tricky and saying names of parts I've never heard of. Perhaps I should find a new engineer? Any Recommendations near Newbury Berks?

Thanks guys, no, there was no lockout light. the engineer has just left and said it is a dodgy pcb and said much the same as you, that they are known for it. he said the replacement pcb are expensive and said I would be better off with a new boiler. I bought this house 2 years ago so...

any ideas please?

Hi I'm hoping someone can advise me please. I have rung my engineer by the way but he's not called me back yet. This morning the boiler mains light was flashing and the fan running but the boiler was not. tuning the system off at the controls in the airing cupboard made no difference...

Hi, Had the above fitted last week. It constantly drips from the shower head when its turned off. I've tried taking the head out of the holder and shaking out any residual water ant then putting it back up again. still drips though. Any ideas please? Many thanks

any advice please?

Hello guys, I'm back. An update for you. I was unloading my shopping as was my neighbour next door but one. He asked how it was all going so I gave him a potted history about finding a plumber etc. Oh he says, there's a guy called Kevin who lives round the corner, did my bathroom and garage...

Dennyboy, yes it is strange, and just for the record I'm a she. I put the job on mybuilder last night too and have had 2 responses from local people so am a bit more optimistic today. fingers crossed

thanks bournemouthplumber - I have just e-mailed Buildbase where I got all the kit from to ask them. I might do the same with PTS as they were very helpful when I bought new rads from them recently (which the sparky fitted for me) bless you all for your help today. thank you

Hi, I've had a look in the local parish mag and there are a couple of guys in there, unfortunately 1 of them is one person who has let me down. there doesn't appear to be a local recommended traders list. My kids are adults and not living here so that isn't an option unfortunately. I have...

Thank your for replies so far. I moved here 11 weeks ago so don't really know many people. Markbr i'm very near Newbury

Hi, it's doing my head in. I've been let down by 2 people now, the first one said he'd be with me x date but did not, then he said it would be the end of the following week and still no show. Went on to check a trade and found someone else. he came round the other day to look at the job...

It also depends on the type of soil you have. If you are on chalk then the roots tend to grow downwards to the water/nutrients. On clay the roots will travel bloomin metres and metres horizontally looking for water. I've just moved from a chalk area to clay. My neighbour has dirty great...

Thanks everyone, I thought I smelled a bit of bullshyte. It did sound a bit odd to me and then when he rang me on Sunday evening really pushing for the work that I thought, ello, ello. He was trying to get me to agree to him coming round this week. I told him i'm not ready yet for...

Hi, I've had a plasterer tell me that the house I've just bought (built 1978) has never had the ceilings painted. He says I must paint them with vinyl silk before he can skim then or the plaster won't stick. true of false? many thanks

Hi, I need 2 rads in my sitting/dining room moved to the opposite wall. whilst i'm having this done, I want to replace the rads as the current ones don't even have valves on. How do I know what size new rads to get for the room please? The room measures 7.29m x 3.56. if this helps...
