    Hi All My daughters play centre is currently about a year old and the weather has started to have an affect on it with the current medium oak colour finish looking patchy. With this in mind, can anyone suggest a suitable preserver/protector? I know some preservers won't "stick" as of the...

    Dual fuel towel rail adapter - tightens to wrong position

    Hi All Probably a real simple answer but I'm stumped so thought I'd ask on here. Currently fitting a dual fuel towel rail, all is ready but when I fit the element and the dual fuel adapter, the heating pipe inlet is in the wrong position. It has no wiggle room to tighten it up another...

    Dual fuel towel rail - programmer same as underfloor heating

    Hi all We are just about to start replacing our bathroom and will be using a dual fuel towel rail with element so we can still heat the rail up in the summer when the heating is off. We have seen a few touch screen stats and programmers and wanted to know if you had to buy a specialist...

    MCB Tripping on Lighting Circuit

    Sorry, not something that he told me when discussing with him and I didnt ask for results (I've not had a lot of electrical knowledge so not the sort of question I would have thought of).

    Transition from tiles to floor on uneven threshold

    Hi All Just finished tiling the utility room floor and not looking at options for the transition down from the tiled floor to the concrete floor below. This would usually be ok but the issue I have is the height at one end of the doorway to the other is different, ie lower on left, higher...

    Hot water cold after 1 shower

    Hi Thanks for the replies, much appreciated. I am not at home at the moment but looking online, it looks like we have a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 18Ri boiler. Based on the literature online, it says the temp gauge on the front of the boiler ranges from 35 to 82°C. I'd say its about half...

    Hot water cold after 1 shower

    Increased the cylinder stat a few weeks back to 75 ish in the hope that would get around the issue. I've got no idea round the calling for hot water, how do I find that? As far as I know it's working, but I'm no heating engineer and can only go based on the tests I've done in terms of...

    Vibrating when heating and boiler on

    Hi all I've had a look through many posts but not been able to nail my issue so thought I'd post a new thread. We have a really loud vibrating type noise coming from the pipe work upstairs which seems to happen when the boiler kicks in. As far as I can see the pump on the heating system...
