If you intend to take a deposit from your tenant at the start of the tenancy, you will have to put it within a third party bond, ie The Deposit Protection Service. www.depositprotection.com You can be fined for not doing so, something equivalent to 3 months rent. Although has now been...

As the pump was not circulating water when gas came on, the heat generated was not being dispersed into the water, in effect boiling the standing still water. Not a good thing to be happening, luckily boiler shuts off as it should do, preventing further problems. I would have thought the safety...

To me the lay person, yes. Carefully take out the silver screw to the pump, making sure you have towels to soak up leaking water. Turn on central heating and feel the impeller spinning inside where you have removed screw with a small screw driver (small electrical one I use) you will know if...

Sounds like the pump has either got stuck or broken. Try seeing if the pump can be turned, see wiki. Don't forget I'm just an end user, not a Gas safe etc.

Just for info, Homeserve do an Insurance based scheme which covers your water supply pipe only, from Water board's responsibility (road/pavement/water meter) up to and including your internal stop cock. It used to be £15 a year, but has probably doubled by now. But if you took this insurance...

It's normally caused by cold air coming down the liner entering the room, bringing all the smells with it. Mostly on cold days/nights, obviously when not in use. I have rolled up newspaper/towel pushed in the bottom of the flue. Have to get hands dirty and remove top baffle plate to do so...

:D you should see the stuff I use, could double as ships mooring rope!

......could you use dental floss? would that work.

:D If you look closely, you can see a mark left on the door where the cat throws out an abseil line and grappling hook!

I know it's from Essex.........but that's weird :shock:

:lol: :lol: Is that the cat looking out the kitchen window, with a bib on!

Put the boiler inside and rent the hut out, for £50 a week!

What a thought, :lol: :lol: not the case after a vindaloo.

Not sure if this is ideal. I know my appliances are 'cold feed' only. Water heated by machines, no draw on gas boiler. I appreciate that my electric bill will be higher as a result! I'm just wondering whether your appliances are drawing hot water from the combi's when they are...

I think they have an O ring washer in the large bleed screw. Try a new O ring if missing or damaged.

As long as you then have another water meter attached to what ever pipe you teed off too. Water company would then bill you for water use only, adjusting bill not to collect the standing charges, surface water drainage etc. -Just water. Two meters with one adjusted bill. You...

Difficult to understand what the handyman did. Did he only change the plastic ball on the end of the arm, or did he replace all the brass fitting. All he needed was a £1 worth of parts, cone, washer etc. http://www.screwfix.com/p/ball-valve-spares-107pcs/98525?_requestid=970417 Best I...

Also make sure you have tightened up the adjustable feet under the bath. You say it happens when showering etc. That may because more weight is placed at one end of the bath pulling away from all your sealant, closing again when weight is off. The bath also settles in time, adjustable feet...

Sorry just reread your post and your not doing that anyway, please ignore me, the wife does!
