    How to ventilate floor void.

    Hi all. I've got a bit of a rot problem due to damp sub floor. I think I know where the source of water is coming from. (Leaking garage adjoining house flowing into air brick.) and I'm in the process of making this watertight. Upon lifting some boards there is quite a lot of debris in the...

    condensation/damp

    Bit of advice needed please. We have just had a new sofa delivered. When i removed the old one, i noticed a bit of mould (only a bit, white spores) on the back and on the inside. Then I noticed the skirting board on my lounge wall was crumbling from the top about half a meter in from the...

    leak inside boiler?

    Good morning all. Last night I heard a drip coming from the boiler (SIME ecomfort 30HE). There were no visible leaks externally. About 4 months ago, I repaired an aquafilter leak with new gaskets, and assumed it was something to do with this, so took the cover off to inspect. Nothing that i...

    The plot thickens!! everything has worked fine, no more pressure drop after system cooled overnight. HOWEVER.... now the boiler locks out on CH (DHW is fine) with a flashing orange LED (no water circulation). Any possible theories? Could the leak-stop i put in have blocked the...

    Help with boiler please

    I must admit, I did drain a little out the prv just to bring the level down enough to stop the leak out of the filter. The rest was drain through the drain valve. Well I've just got in and the system pressure has held all day, so I can rule out a leak I think. I've just turned it on, so I'll...

    Help with boiler please

    Good morning all, I have a sime ecomfort 30he condenser. The fibre washers started to leak on the aquagard filter yesterday, so I changed them with apparent success. I then refilled the system with some cleaner in and ran it for about an hour, whilst keeping a close eye on the filter for...

    Light won't switch off

    Well, to bring this post to a conclusion! The sparky finally showed up yesterday to have a look. After an hour of testing and scratching his head, he opened my loft panel to chase the wiring to the junction box. "Matt, I dont suppose the light wouldnt turn off after you did something to...

    Light won't switch off

    Thanks for all your replies. I have a sparky living at the end of the road that keeps promising to have a look , he never does, I'm embarrassed to keep asking! On the point you've just raised Sparkwright - you have me thinking. There IS an unused switch upstairs near the bathroom. I have no...

    Hello all, thanks in advance for your advice to my frustrating problem which has plagued me for several months! I went to turn off the light switch for the light at the top of the stairs. Imagine my surprise when the light stayed on! I went upstairs to try the switch up there to the same...
