    Mould - condensation versus leaking gutter?

    Due to one of the coldest winters in my memory, for the first time in years I've wimped out and kept the bedroom window shut for the last couple of months. Used to leave it open all the time whatever the weather. After the recent snowfalls and subsequent thaws I've noticed damp on the...

    Fixed Price Repairs - Halsteads Boiler

    Just how much value for money are these? I have a Halsteads Platinum boiler that started having problems last year, the water pressure was low but I managed to top it up, bleed the radiators and it's been fine since...Until last night when my son said the shower was cold. Tried resetting it...
