thank you for this. we did discover that this was what we needed to do and it has been fine since, although it still took a couple of days even after programming it correctly before it all started working properly. its as if it needed 'bedding in'. All is fine now thank you, although it would...

hello there. just had a new combi boiler with the above room thermostat. all is good except for some reason even tho the thermostat is set to turn off and on at specific times, it doesnt seem to be doing. you can set the temperature and the on off time on this thermostat but it just keeps on...

ok, thanks for all of this. So does the pump not switching off some of the time have something to do with it too? or is that a separate issue?

we live in one of those 3 storey houses. the middle floor and top floor rads are fine and heat up fully, (when the boiler comes on) but the ground floor ones dont come on at all (except for one in the cloakroom). they have all been bled. when our plumber came to fit the solenoid for the shower...

thanks, is this in the boiler? Do you think the overrunning pump and the boiler not coming on are connected?

landlord is a 'she' and she would rather i sort it out and she pays!!! i dont mind doing this as it means it gets sorted. whats a PCB?

hello again. i have a potterton suprima 40 boiler in the kitchen which has been in the house since it was built some 10 years ago. sometimes the boiler doesnt come on when it should do and i have to press the reset button so the red light goes off. sometimes this works first time and sometimes...

thank you. i have a feeling the plumber that came wasnt very clued up on electric power showers, although i assumed all electric showers heated up their own water rather than relying on the water in the tank? Learn something every day! i think after the holidays i'll find another plumber who...

hello, we have just moved into a 10 year old house which has 2 triton Aquasensation AS2000T power showers (one in the en suite and one downstairs on the ground floor - its one of those 3 storey houses). the house had been empty for a couple of years and when we moved in for the first week the...

thank you!! although im going to use the guy i contacted to fit it, becuase he as very fair , but he has also quoted £180 to fit a cooker main (it means going up and under floorboards etc) but although he was reasonable price for other stuff think thats a bit steep? will keep your number if...

ah yes. he did . the fuse hadnt blown, but hes quoting me for putting it on a seperate main? the man who came from samsung today to look at the oven under guarantee confirmed the thermostat had blown for a 2nd time in 4 months (although the first time that was caused because samsung hadnt put...

i just wanted to thank you all for your help. On Monday morning i rang an Neicic registered electrician who came out the same morning to take a look. luckily the main electric thingy where the meter etc is was fairly uptodate and had a bit on it for attaching the pme. he checked the gas and...

he didnt give me anything. the oven came with the kitchen from B&Q. he was 'a friend of the fitter' (not a B&Q supplied fitter). i know i can hear you saying arrrgh but at the time i didnt know anything about what i should and shouldnt do! i will endeavour to get some photos on here but...

aww now thats really kind of you!! I live in Hucknall Nottingham :oops: actually more worryingly its my daughter's house, my mum left it me and my daughter is living there so she really is a damsel in distress coz shes only 21 and i dont want to lose her yet!! x

having said this, apparently when a new ceiling rose was fitted, it had earth wires so do you think its partially earthed? could this be the case?

i had a feeling this was going to be the case and thank you for your speedy replies. i will get it earthed and also get the oven on a seperate ring main (although samsung told me it would be ok on a plug as it wasnt a double oven just an oven and grill)

please excuse me im not quite the typical dumb blonde but when it comes to electrics i'm nearly there. i have recently aquired my mums house which is 80 years old and was rewired in the 70s. earlier this year i had a new kitchen fitted and had a new fuse box fitted and the kitchen rewired but...
