Update - incase it may help anyone else. I noticed the ignition light would come on for 15 seconds once the boiler had been off for a while. When it did the cylinder would get boiling hot and the boiler was cutting out within a few seconds. I suspected the pump was failing and not flowing...

Tried bypassing the receiver as you described - no luck getting the boiler to fire Tried a new motor on the two port valve no luck. Tried the service overide on the front of boiler and nothing fires up. Small plastic insert on the bosch boiler to click it to max

Ive had a nightmare few weeks with this boiler. I will try to be concise. System - worcester bosch greenstar ri with unvented cylinder and hive thermostat 1st issue - water leak from tank. Got this fixed and boiler serviced at the same time 2 - fan went bang so was replaced. 3 - worked for...

brilliant thanks guys

Ive just had an extension so i need smoke alarms hard wired. ideally i wanted smart ones that alert me if they go off. ive looked at nest but they dont do a heat detector for the garage. I would need them to speak to each other but as i understand a nest smoke alarm wouldnt speak to a heat...

ive had a hive thermostat installed getting rid of the old honeywell timer. the wiring was a straight swap. there is one cable coming from the unit on the top left to another honeywell unit. is this one required? the plumber left it in. but now and again i have to reset it if the heating stops...

forgive me if this sounds a stupid question. in my extension with thermalite block its gona be d&d with 12.5mm board i was gona put some battens on the wall for fixing rads and tv brackets to under the board the electrician has used 25mm back boxes. I was going to use 25mm plywood underneath...

Brilliant advice about the waste thanks. my plumber is coming soon for the 1st fix so ill make sure i talk to him about that. ive got it in my head that this tray drains 30l p/m but ill double check. Thanks all

im happy to go with the best method. time/money are not an issue as im doing it myself. ive seen a mixture of people bedding on mortar but then having problems with cracking or rocking. ive also seen people use something like ct1. so im undecided which way to go

Thanks for the reply madrab. I think this one will be ideal although its expensive. The other issue I have it that the waste falls exactly in the middle so the side waste is perfect. Ive never fit a shower tray. However the subfloor is a 25mm wbp plywood floor on massive joists supported with...

Hi all, Im in the market for a new tray for my new en suite. Originally I was looking at a wetroom former but started leaning towards a tray. Ive seen the mira flight level which is only 25mm deep. Im presuming that with a 15mm tile board and tile it would look flush with the floor. Im...

anything is possible these days :-)

good call with 2 draw strings. didnt think about that

its an extension over an exisiting garage. the ceiling below is fireline plasterboarded. I was planning on leaving it free for access but because of having a new electric garage door fitting had to get it borded 1st. There is no loft space as we have left the ceuling vaulted. Presumably I could...

ive just levelled up my floor joists ready for laying a 25mm plywood subfloor. Before it goes down I need to sort insulation and electric cables. Im not installing electrics myself but the electrician told me he will 1st fix when the stud wall is in (for walk in wardrobe and rn suite). The...

cheers lads. the room is 5m x5m with a vaulted ceiling so lots of battens. metal plugs will literally cost hundreds. id pay it if i knew it was the best option. ive never used helical nails ill look into that

Ive had an extention built with thermalite block. building regs require me to insulate internal walls with 25mm pir board. my plan was to use 25mm battens and board inbetween. then fix plasterboard over the top. im wondering what is the best way to fix the battens? I know the blocks are soft...

Im building a bedroom extension with an en-suite. The room has vaulted ceilings. there will be a stud wall dividing and on the other side is a walk in wardrobe. I like the inline extractor i have in the loft in my other bathroom. its about 4 times as powerful as the standard wall mounted and...

dont worry about it. my architect has designed the building so i can have it built. im project managing the inside. knowing that i need slightly more insulation inside im just trying to work out the most cost effective method to do this

no its all being done properly. drawings, buildings regs. im getting the builders to complete the shell and im project managing the inside. so im trying to research the most cost effective way of boarding the inside with additional insulation
