Seems to be stuck in a mid-position because when CH on (and programmer at CH only) a lot of heat gets to HW , the temperature of which rises way above cylinder thermostat setting. Valve is 7 years old and from what I've recently read it seems Siemens valves are not noted for their long lives...

Recently I got a pop-up from my AV, telling me the numbers of passwords that I use which it says are weak or duplicated. This could be true of sites which oblige me to open accounts but where I see no real threat to me should an impostor reach them - meaning the worst that could happen might...

Two leaking radiators (corrosion) have convinced me that all of my 1972 vintage rads must be replaced . To choose replacements it would be useful to know the heat outputs of the old rads, which are plain pressed steel - no fins whatever. It would be very helpful if someone could tell me...

My 1928 roof (clay tiles on boards, no felt) needs attention. Faults are re chimney flashings, eroded mortar at ridges and hips, and about 30 slipped tiles. A roofer says not economical to deal just with these specifics, and that roof should be stripped and rebuilt using the salvageable tiles...
