Roof corner above damp area. No dampness felt in this area.

Damp on Skimmed Wall rising from corner of the bath

Hi, I have been asked by the guy in the flat downstairs to investigate if my flat is leaking into his. They had some tilers in who have skimmed the wall, but won't put the tiles up as there is a damp section. I can't see any leaks in my bathroom, and there is no evidence on the roof or...

Nice memory gasguru! I hope my little ideal boiler proves you wrong though! Hopefully with new parts it will last a bit longer. The BG guy actually said it was a fairly common model for them (two of them said this) and it was probably installed by BG originally. So this may mean they will...

Hi, I am sure very few people care - but I thought I would give an update on BG service! They never made it out for the initial check, and the boiler pressure dropped and stopped working. Guy came out the next day (Fri), repressurised and signed off the boiler (as covered) and it worked...

Hi, I have an Ideal Response Combi boiler, and a contract with British Gas HomeCare. It stopped working on Thursday, with a low pressure light, and the guy from BG arrived on Friday and nicely fixed it. :) On Saturday, we wake up to cold water again, and the low pressure light on. I...

Hi, I have a small flat with wooden floors with carpet over the top. The floorboards underneath are terribly uneven - you can't even really lie on the carpet without an extra thick rug on top to even it out. The 'waves' are actually visible in a number of places - plus there is a nice...

Hi, Thanks for the responses, and you are right, I will go home and review the T&C's in a bit more detail. I have a great fear of being pressured when people are onsite, and having zero knowledge of boilers makes me feel at a great disadvantage. So, I was hoping that BG would remove the risk...

Hi, I just wondered if there were any good/bad opinions on the Homecare service offered by BG. I have signed up for it, in the hope to avoid too much stress/worry in the future, but they have not been in touch for the original checkup. I called and they have given me a date of 21 Feb for...

Hi Chris, Thanks for the response. It seems to have started up again for the moment, but I have been informed (as a new resident in the UK from a hot country!) that boilers require servicing! So, first thing will be a service in the next few weeks. Up to now it has worked perfectly, so...

Hi, My Ideal Response Combi boiler's pilot light seems to have gone out. I can't see how I can relight it. The pressure is low, (about point 8) and I can see the orange light that people talk about is on. The system sounds like it is operating ok - it seems to turn on the fan, and...

Actually, I think I can see the orange light. More to the left of the boiler, but there I am sure. I guess the question is - how do I increase the pressure? There doesn't seem to be any control to do this. And I have no manual (bought the flat last year, so have no history of this boiler)...

Hi, My Ideal Response Combi boiler's pilot light seems to have gone out. I can't see how I can relight it. The pressure is low, but ok (about .8) and the orange light people talk about is off. Also the LED light for low pressure is off. The system sounds like it is operating ok - it...
