Thanks for the replies, I know what to do now - cheers.

Well I assume it comes from the fusebox, it travels along the space between the ceiling and upstairs floor, then comes down through the ceiling and was bonded to water pipes (which are no longer there). so the wire is just poking out of the ceiling at the moment. The kitchen sink was bonded to...

I can tell you its a 10mm yellow and green single core cable. It bonded the hot and cold just below the ceiling, in order for the cable to reach the 600mm first T from the stop cock it needs to be lengthened. It never complied with that rule. The kitchen sink and the bath were bonded, and I...

Hi, no because all the floor board will need to come up, and would require a new wire sinking in the wall from the CU. The CU is on the opposite side of the house.

Hello, We are moving the kitchen around, resulting in a total re-piping of all the copper. The pipes will now be on the opposite side of the room. The earth wire that runs under the floor and comes down the wall and bonds to the hot and cold pipes is no longer long enough, despite it being...

Good - I can crack on and get some quotes knowing I am not wasting anyones time. Thanks for that.

So am I correct in thinking anything that over the zone 1 at a height of 2.25mtr is part of the not zoned area ?

Apparently they have a lorry to suck the aggregate up as opposed to digging because there is a high voltage cable that runs along side the water and gas pipe on the other side of the road. They think thats where the water is getting in. I will know more on Friday when they begin. Until then...

And ?? don't leave it on a cliff hanger - lol Woke up this morning to the gas off again. Got to have another suck job ! Turns out on the other side of the road is a water main and a high voltage cable. They are digging that up next.

The bathroom is on the ground floor, and the ceiling beams run the wrong way too. There is only one outside facing wall and thats where I would (only place I can) have the fan fitted. But am I allowed to - thats the question.

I want to have fitted a bathroom extractor fan, before I get the experts in I have been reading up on the regs and zones, and I have a few questions if I may. This is a very small bathroom, its only as long as the bath. At the tap end there is a shower tap, and along the side of the bath there...

Well - they put a camera down my service pipe and pressure tested it. Found nothing, put a camera up the mains and found nothing. They think it might be a small part of the service pipe on the other side of the road that has a hot iron joint that was not accessible by the camera. The saga...

What was the cause of yours. NG are going to dig an exploratory hole to test the service pipe around the house as its all concrete. If it passes its a dig up the road job. There is no detectable gas leak, and no evidence of a water leak. My drive is quite steep, and the road slopes away from...

Well I got home the other day to find that my combi had tripped out with an error. I turned on the gas cooker to find I had a pulsating flame. I phoned National Grid and they diagnosed water in the service pipe and sucked it out. Two days later and the gas is pulsating again. I guess its...

Yeah thats what I thought, but he said they would cut it up and take a look inside. So far this has been the worst boiler I have ever had for things going wrong with it lol.

Well he came, replaced the heat cell, tested the exhaust gasses and said it was running to hot and thats what caused the premature failure. He pretty much said its a waste of money to put in system water inhibitor but if I wanted to I could. The old one was taken back for testing. In the...

I'll let you know what happens, I have to phone them tomorrow.

@boilerdoktor Well I was asking which deal I should go with - no one on here is aiming this question at you !! WTF - its really quite simple - if you can't or don't want to answer the question then don't its really that simple !!! Talk about being up your own backside ... Edit :- And...

Hi Guys, Well it was installed by a WB 'approved' installer. So I guess it should have been ok. I know he put some kind of inhibitor in the system. I guess £300 is a good price for this kind of repair, but given I have been lead to believe its a manufacturing fault - might have a 10 year...

Here is WB reply hank you for your enquiry. Having spoken to our technical department they have informed us that there are no known issues with this model boiler all our boilers under go strict quality control before leaving the factory to ensure they are in the best condition upon...
