Hi, I have two wireless thermostats - one for my radiators and one for my wet underfloor. It would be great if I could use one control unit for them both so that I don’t have to manually sync up the programs on each wireless thermostat. Is this possible? Is this what Hive and Nest do? I’ve...

Thanks John. TBH it didn't occur to me that the shroud possibly unscrewed. D'oh!!

Hi, I need to change the cartridge on my mixer tap as the tap will not stay up and keeps falling down, stopping the flow. It's an annoyance. I've managed to remove the grub screw and get the lever off but there's no way I can get the spanner in to remove the cartridge. I'm assuming that...

Hi, My Worcester 24CDi boiler has the ignition lockout problem when the heating comes on, tripping out after 10 seconds or so, and occasionally when the water is in use. The system is pressurised correctly. I've read a lot of the other posts but don't seem to have a definitive solution. Is...

We're refitting our house and have decided to locate our boiler on an internal wall (decision came down to kitchen design and more). This means that the flue would need to travel between 3.5 and 5m with a max of two bends in it (one to go horizontal to outside and then one to go vertical once...

we're thinking wet. we don't particularly want to have separate heating controllers so hoping it can come off the main thermostat.

Hi, I'm renovating my house and we're looking to put underfloor heating in kitchen and bathroom. Do I need to look for special tiles or can I get any off the shelf (the guy in Topps said we could use any of their tiles with underfloor heating but thought I'd double check)? Thanks in...

Unfortunately we've already told them about the work we plan to do and there's no going back. The builders I've talked to also weren't keen on doing work without the PWA in place. FYI the work is removing a couple of chimney breasts (so inserting a steel in the loft) and possible a full loft...

This surveyor is even a Fellow of RICS so you would have expected a modicum of integrity and follow the guidelines. The whole things seems like a farce to me. Why the adjoining owner doesn't have to pay at least some of the fees is beyond me.

He has quoted £125 + vat per hour and on average it would take him 6 hours to act on the neighbours behalf i.e. £900. Plus the £1000 or so I have to pay for my own. I just feel it's a bit excessive to pay twice for the same thing and are hoping I can come to some agreement with the owner in...

We've not served notice yet as we are waiting on the structural drawings to be completed. i was hoping that the same surveyor could do Notice through to Award (as the neighbour will dissent whatever). I believe the section would be Section 2 of the Act.

Hi, I'm planning an internal remodeling of my home and loft conversion. For such I'll need a party wall notice to be served to the owner of the adjoining property (it's currently let). I have learned from the letting agent that the owner plans on dissenting the party wall notice...

Thanks. While the 2nd floor bathroom will be the guest bathroom I wouldn't want a sudden drop in pressure if both showers are being used at the same time or if the washing machine was on etc. Even pressure and heat distribution throughout. We'd like to avoid having a tank so it would be a...

Hi, Apologies to all you who may have answered this question many times before but I couldn't find the exact answer when I searched the forum. I'm currently planning a house renovation and need to come up with some specifications for the tender package which my architect is putting...

I have a Worcester 24CDi RSF combi boiler and would like to fit a wireless thermostat to it. There is no thermostat or heating timer unit currently installed. Here are the installation instructions for the boiler...

Hi, I've got a Worcester 24CDi combi boiler which currently has no thermostat or timer. The boiler is discontinued with literature here...
