We have a wet UFH system with Komfort touchscreen thermostats which don't turn back on after a power cut. The programmed settings are retained but the thermostats have to be turned back on via the on/off button to get the heating working. Does anyone know of a suitable replacement that would...

@oph thanks for your reply. S plan? Yes I think that's right. Separate controls for HW and CH, 2 diverter valves - programmable room stat and programmer for H/W with tank stat. Regarding "bypass if it's even fitted" - according to the 24i instruction manual I have it says there is an internal...

Hi System is: 24i Greenstar System boiler, 6 years old 14 radiators + HW (S plan) (2 replaced in August) Magnaclean on return close to boiler Honewell Auto Airvent on HW flow adjacent to Cylinder Pump setting 2 Problem is: Frequent bleeding of Magnaclean and highest radiator - air not gas...

Yes these people do http://www.handlestore.com/category/uPVC-Door-Handles-No-Key-Hole/0/ However, you can only buy pairs and discard the inner one for each handle you need to change. My local locksmith says that they are available separately and he can supply them. (He also pointed out...

Hi I want to replace the double eurocylinder locks on our patio doors with single ones so they can just be locked from the inside. We never use the exterior key access. Is this possible and can I replace the outside handles (or the pair) with ones with no exterior keyhole? Many thanks

Thanks all - most helpful. I missed these somehow when looking around. thanks also for the ELV- LV distinction.

Hi, I'm replacing some older type LV bathroom downlighters which have an 85 mm dia hole. Most new ones are around 65 -70mm cut out with an overall diameter of 80 mm. Short of filling holes, replastering (pimply artex as well) and starting again, does anyone know of any conversion fittings...

Excellent - thanks very much.

Thanks for your advice - appreciated. One quick question - with my old Horstmann wireless thermostat under normal operation if there was a power cut when it was calling for heat then that was it until the next programme change which called for an increase in temperature - unless you manually...

@ D_Hailsham - thanks for your reply - I hadn't thought of the P2 setting. I'd assumed if it was in the failsafe state the red LED would be on on the relay box to let you know? I need to read the instructions again. My concern was that when leaving my property for a long period in the winter...

Please could someone clarify the "Loss of Communication Setting" option (parameter 7LC) on the CM927. I understand the principle in that if communication is lost between the two units then fail-safe keeps the relay and hence boiler off as one option (0) but what exactly are the time periods...

Hi. Can anyone please tell me how to gain access to the door internals of an AEG 50750I (integrated) - I need to get at the control module at the top. I've tried removing the screws from around the inner s/s door lining but although the door parts it seems to bend or flex at the very...

Ever since we had an extension built (in 2000) when the wind is in a certain direction towards the eaves we get a low roar (as if a heavy lorry is passing) when the wind gusts. The roof is lean-to and is tiled in Redland Regent. I believe that the noise is coming from the ventilation system...

Thanks Zampa

Hi I want to gloss paint a north-facing porch-protected front door that has been stained originally with a Dulux Woodstain and latterly with Ronseal 5 year Woodstain. I've started to sand it lightly but the top coat is starting to peel in some areas rather than just flatting off leaving a...

Hi I need to get access to change the on/off switch which has jammed (on luckily.) Could someone tell me how the top fascia is removed please? And a real bonus would be the swich part number if anyone has it! Many thanks Terry

Hi - I've just had a quote for new fascias etc and was told that the trade price from manufacturers is increasing by 10-15% in January. Anyone else heard this? Thanks

Thanks Mick, the valve is the older type with a bottom outlet. However this problem may have occurred recently and not over time as I thought - we have been away for a few days and I turned the water off as usual. I'm told that what can happen is the fibre washer in the tap connector to the...

Yes it is. Both tanks have a lot of condensation between the jackets but the one with the mains feed in had much more. Never had this until they were double lagged last November. Short of lifting the tanks to see if there's a leak from the bottom I don't know what else to do. I've removed the...

I've checked and can't see any leak from any of the outlets or connection to the other tank. I've drained down and the tank seems sound, I can't see any cracks or anything - are these poly tanks prone to leaking? If it is it would be really slow as the inlet valve doesn't drip and when I removed...
