Hi I have a gas hob in a flat that I rent out that was fed from pipework under the floor. on a recent safety check the engineer found a leak so I got him to cap off the underfloor pipework. I cannot see an easy way of getting the pipe to the gas hob without it being seen in the kitchen. So I am...

I have a Potterton Suprima boiler which connects to the Megaflow. Today it started to have an issue as the boiler keeps shutting off and needs resetting. It seems that water is not flowing round the primary flow and return. The pipes are really hot at the top of the boiler so I assume that there...

Hi The cooker hood switch has 3 speeds and at times I have issues with the button staying on at all speeds. As soon as I push the button in it never stays on it can take quite a few presses before it will stay on. The light switch works fine so it is just the 3 speed settings that are the...

I recently had the dryer element changed and it has gone faulty again. So, I was wondering whether the washer dryer can be used only for washing. The issue I have is that the washing machine does not come on unless it has the dryer element working I assume it goes through some self checks before...

I have fault code F15 on my washer dryer which means water not being pumped out. I have managed to get the water out of the machine and took the hose off from the pump. It was completely blocked just above the pump so I cleared the gunk and restarted the machine. Water now flows out of the hose...

Hi I have a Potterton Promax combi boiler that is around 11 years old now. From what I can make out it seems that it was never installed correctly according to the manufacturers instructions. I have only had this flat that I rent out for a year via the local council authority so they got the gas...

Hi as a landlord I have a flat that I have rented through our local council which the tenancy is coming to an end. They have done a gas void check today and stated that the wrong clips have been fitted to the flue and the ceiling to the loft has not been sealed/made good. The boiler is a...

Hi my son's shower has packed up and there seems to be a newer version of his current model with the same KW rating can this just be changed like for like. I have looked at the installation guide for this current model and it recommends having an RCD fitted. Does this apply to a straight swap...

Hi My son is currently fitting a new bathroom suite in his flat and the bathroom had an extractor fan on the wall that has never worked since they moved in. It was a really old style fitted on the wall and the power was fed from the light switch. Looking to put a Manrose SF100 in line shower...

Hi I have purchased a shower CU with RCD and an MCB 50A. The shower they are buying is rated at 40/45A. The main CU is an old type that you pull the cartridges out (fuse wire). From what I have seen on the shower instructions the main CU needs to have either an MCB or have a fuse fitted and I...

Hi I have had the RCD trip out on about 3 occasions over the last month or so at varying times. When I go to reset it, it does not stay on until I switch off the downstairs socket switch for the kitchen area and then everything works fine. If I try to switch the downstairs sockets on after a...

Hi I have a Megaflo CL210 that I periodically have to replenish the airgap and wondered whether someone could answer a couple of questions I have. Firstly when I replenish the air gap and open TPR valve it seems to take at least 20 minutes and can still hear gurgling. I have noticed that the...

I have had a look to see what this fault code is and it seems it is to do with the drying heater relay but different machines have a different meaning for this fault code. Can anyone confirm that the code 15 is definitely a dryer heating relay issue for my make of washer dryer. Thank you in...

Hi I have fitted a new battery in my Veritas R8 control panel. I switched it on and managed to put in the default code and also the engineers code from all the installation information that I downloaded. With the panel unset and walking in the hallway it seems to trigger the alarm so there must...

Hi I have a Texecom D5010 - 02.05 control panel with a Veritas R8 keypad which I have not had chance to look at until today since we moved into the property. My question is what battery should be used as there is not one inside for me to match against. I have managed to download a copy of the...
