We have a Baxi 105e boiler, no more than four years old. Expansion vessel replaced 10 days ago, we knew it was on the way out, pressure needed to be topped up every week then every few days, heating otherwise functioning fine. Had new wall-mounted expansion vessel added and new thermostat...

Hope someone can help please. Had an engineer out in the week to replace expansion vessel on Baxi 105e combi boiler as the pressure kept dropping - we knew the expansion vessel was on the way out and had already had it pumped up once. He mounted the new vessel on the wall for easier access...

Have a major problem with dry rot in our front room floor, the cause is the pipes taking away water from the gutters/downpipe at the front of the house being completely bunged up with roots, so the water is coming down the downpipe and just sitting in the ground outside the house. We've dug...

The soakaway in front of our house where the rainwater goes has failed due to tree roots blocking the pipe. We're looking at either a lot of money or a lot of hard work to re-dig the channel for pipework and re-dig the soakaway due to the hedge of conifer trees that have caused the problem...

It would seem the soakaway taking rainwater from our downpipe has failed, causing dry rot in the front room floorboards. The insurance company say they won't cover the drainage aspect but will cover the damage the water has caused, which is great. It looks like tree roots have fractured...

Noticed the other day, two small orangey mushroomy type growths by the skirting board, really weird but chopped them out with a knife and disinfected. Then last night, sat watching TV I freaked when I noticed an orange stain on the carpet, which is cream so it was really obvious. So today...

Thanks to this website, lots of googling and a very helpful and understanding (Corgi-registered) uncle, I've finally got heating and hot water! My very understanding uncle, who wouldn't take anything for his trouble, has replaced the pressure vessel, main heat exchanger, pump and combustion...

Bit of a rant really and would be interested in comments on customer service!!! Partner and I rent a house privately (I'm selling mine but don't live there, which is a good job as that has no heating at the moment!). After being here a few weeks, we found the pipes were quite noisy at...

Heat exchanger (DHW) for a Vaillaint VCWGB221H If I'm looking at the right thing after Googling parts websites, somewhere between £90-£100? And will the part look the same as the old one, or will it have been superseded? Also, any idea of price if I have to have the expansion tank...

Hi folks, Have a Vaillant VCWGB221H, the GC code is 4704414, combi boiler. It's been leaking water, probably for some months from up inside the boiler. I haven't been living in the house so not sure how long. Last week it started making noise described "like a Spitfire" by my ex and he...

Any advice on what the problem could be and cost of fixing would be great - I'm brassic and don't want to be ripped off when I call someone out :( It's a valiant boiler and has played up before and I can't for the life of me remember how we fixed it. Basically it won't fire, no hot water...

We have a siemens siwamat WV9722I washer dryer, built in and a bit old admittedly, but was working ok except for having to fiddle with door to turn machine on (had to make sure hande pressed flat and door shut properly so light would come on to start cycle) Now, we can't get light to come on...
