I am just about to change my CM907 with a CM927 wireless unit. For various reasons, I want to place the receiver on the wall in my hallway where the CM907 is now situated. I've got 3 wires running from my Worcester 35CDi Combi to the CM907, with only 2 in use for now. The 3rd wire is safely...

I would like to remove this shower outlet, so I can see if it is the cause of my leak behind the tiles? I can't see how to? There is no grub screw and no rear access. Does anybody have any ideas? It came with my Roman shower and is made by either Sirrus or Bristan (which might be the same...

I am thinking of switching to a combi boiler and having it placed in my bathroom upstairs (in place of the hot water cylinder). The best position for it is against the party wall! Can anybody tell me if this is allowed, particularly in view of the fact that this would entail the flue rising...

I hope this isn't a daft question? I am thinking of upgrading my old open vented heating system with a combi boiler. Can anybody tell me if draining this type of sealed heating system is just as straight forward as it is with a traditional system (for adding radiators, cleaning out the...

Can anyone offer some advice? I have a standard low pressure system in my house. The rising main fills the cold water tank in the loft. The problem I have is that the water running through the rising main is very noisy! The track the pipe takes on its way to the loft is quite complicated...

I have a standard gravity fed, open vented hot water system. The cold water tank is in the loft, the hot water cylinder is directly below it on the first floor and the bathroom is on the ground floor. I have a regular (non-thermastatic) shower mixer that is fed by the same supply that feeds...
