Long story short I've had issues with the hot water tank leaking either from the tundish, from the fittings or now from the element. It's 8 years old, both the prv and t&p have been replaced, expansion vessel tested and repressurised but the problems won't go away. After both hot and cold water...

Hi, I've noticed a bit of damp under my hot water cylinder. After a bit of investigation I saw water staining coming from the boiler controls. Im guessing this isnt good. Is this a new tank or can the immersion be reseated? As theres water at the top of the cover im guessing its steam escaping...

Hi All, I'm aware this has been discussed a lot previously but couldn't find anything exact. I have a closed loop central heating system. 2 radiators upstairs, one towel and one standard, fill with air frequently. By frequently I mean I have to take the air out once a week. If I leave it for a...

Hi, I know this has been asked before but just wanted to sanity check this. The plaster cracked above the stove so peeled back and the board us just brittle. Is that because it's just standard plaster board? what's the best way to repair this so it won't crack again? Thanks

Hi, I'm looking to replace my Sangamo thermostat with something a bit more user friendly. My current set up is a danfoss Fp715si for timers so ideally just need a digital thermostat to replace the rstat3, this is hard wired. I've looked at the hive / tado stuff but it seems to replace both...

Hi, I'm new to unvented hot water systems. Recently I've noticed water leaking through the tundish, it's almost a steady flow. If I turn on the hot water tap for a few moments it stops running I'm guessingbdue to the drop in pressure. I wouldn't say the hot water is excessively hot. The cold...

I have a saunier duval isofast condens f35e boiler. Over the winter it has continually dropped pressure from 1bar to 0.7 in about 5 days. There is water coming out of the pressure relief outlet when the central heating is on. I tested to see if there was air in the 10ltr expansion vessel...

HI, I'm wondering if any kind persons on this site will help me identify the part which I believe is causing the loss of pressure from the boiler. There is a threaded pipe under the boiler which leaks during operation. With it being a closed system I can only imagine this is causing the drop in...

Hi, I had a new indian sandtone patio put down about 3-4 weeks ago. It was set on a mortar bed but after a short time it looks like the pointing has failed completely. One of the slabs on the end can be easily lifted out of place. There is movement in a few slabs. I have attached...

Hi all, I have been dropping pressure for the last 2 months approx 0.1 bar / day. Recently this has increased to as much as 0.3bar. I took the casing off the boiler and saw water marks underneath the chamber. When the central heating comes on there is a steady drip from the fan. Could this...
