I have a Worcester Bosch Heatslave 20/25 combo boiler which is now a discontinued model. It has worked fine until recently, and been serviced regularly, but for some reason although there is power to the boiler it is not heating the radiators. There seems to be no demand and hence it's not...

Hi. Ive just bought a new Smeg dishwasher DI6012 and all was going well with the installation until I realised that the appliance was about 3 inches too low! So, I found the feet (there are 3) and the nut at the front that adjusts the rear foot. The problem is the feet at the front - they are...

I live in an old house and the previous owner decided to kit it out with authentic antique plumbing. Although the pipework is relatively new, the fittings are all brass antique fittings.

Hi - I wonder if anyone can tell me why my taps sometimes make a noise. It doesn't happen every time, but sometimes when I turn my bathroom taps on there is a loud noise - not a banging like others have mentioned - but more of a screechy sort of noise. It only happens in the bathroom. My...

I have a Worcrester Heatslave boiler that I acquired when we moved into our house. For a while the pressure was low until I figured out how to top it up with water. It's been okay for a long time but now I notice that the pressure is rising a lot. It's obviously filling up with water...
