Hi, We are having a new kitchen put in & deciding to replace the laminate flooring with porcelain tiles. We have the interlocking ( tongue & groove? ) chipboard flooring rather than floorboards. We've had some advice already from a tile shop who recommended we put down 6mm exterior...

A fairly easy task to most on here. We're currently decorating and i need to remove our living room radiators so we can paint & fit new skirting boards ( eventually the plumber will be refitting new radiators). I assume it's fairly straightforward, i.e. closing off the return on one side...

I have a leak from my Aplha CD35C. The boiler occasionally has a catastrophic leak and water drips from a small hole under the boiler and the pressure drops to the point where the boiler switches itself off and i have to top up. The boiler then continues to leak for 10-15 mins then stops...

I had an Alpha CD35C installed 2 months ago. The water pressure seems to drop by about 0.25 - 0.4 bar every 4 weeks meaning i'm topping up via the filling loop back to the recommended 1 bar. Is this regularity normal?

I've just had a plumber in for my leaking shower head. Its a minimalist concealed thermostatic shower. he didn't know it was a minimalist, i've been doing some research. He wouldn't work on it until i found out the make & got the parts he needed. Does anyone know a good parts supplier for...

I have ( i think ) a mixer shower. I moved into a new house, the shower controls are directly on the wall. There is a handle for turning the shower on & another at the front of that for changing the temperature. The shower seems to just feed off the main hot & cold water supplies. Firstly...

We have a gas fire, one of those log effect type focal point fires. Its the panoramic gas fire suiteas on http://www.focalpointfires.plc.uk/newproducts/ however, we light it, it runs for about 20 minutes, then the noise from the fire begins to change. Eventually it cuts out. The gas...
