Hi Wayners ! Thank you very much. These are all new to me - so I've got some research to do. Thanks again :D

Hello I am painting a staircase. The treads will be black and the risers will be white. It was painted About 6 months ago, and started to peel almost straight away. It was painted with Ronseal Knot Block Wood Primer and Undercoat White (2 coats) and then 2 coats of Ronseal Diamond Hard Floor...

I have a 12-year old Worcester Bosch 37 CDi. The house has been extended (loft extension) a few years ago and it now has 7 double rads and 9 single rads all together. I've been told this is quite a lot for that boiler. We don't use much hot water because we have an electric shower and kitchen...

Yes, it goes up even higher - it reached 79 before I got a bit scared and turned it down. But it wouldn't go lower than 55 until the desired room temperature was reached.

I have investigated. After the room temperature reaches the desired level, the boiler stops and the temperature display falls to around 36 degrees.

The boiler seems to stay around 55-65 degrees C when the radiators are hot. I am not sure what it does when not calling for heat - I will investigate when I get home this evening - thanks !

Unfortunately I didn't mention the hot water temperature, since it is adequate for our needs (I just mentioned it above in case it was relevant to the radiator temperature) Yes, we have a wall thermostat / digistat, which seems to fire the boiler up when needed. It's just that after the boiler...

Any suggestions for what I can do to solve this ?

Thank you. I normally have pre-heat switched off (eco on) but occasionally leave it on by accident after a reset.

I have a Worcester Bosch boiler Greenstar 37CDi that is about 8 years old. I have noticed that our radiators get very hot. So I have turned down the temperature to it's lowest level - but the radiators remain very hot. In fact it appears that the temperature control is having absolutely no...

Hi and thanks again. Yes, we have suspended wooden floors downstairs (no cellar), except in the kitchen which is concrete. I remember that they concreted over one of the ch pipes that was running across the kitchen floor (the kitchen was previously also suspended). It makes me wonder if the...

thank you ! If the pressure relief valve were faulty, water would come out from the overflow pipe outside, the house, right ? That's bone dry. I've also had a bucket underneath, and it's completely empty. There is a pipe from the boiler that connects to the house waste water pipe. I thought...

Can anyone offer advice about how to proceed ? Are there some tricks to locating a leak ? The latest info is this: as far as I can tell, the system has not lost pressure at all during the night time (when it's off). It only happens during the day. We previously had it set to come on at 5AM, so...

The plumber came back this morning, and "isolated" the boiler (whatever that means). We've had no heating all day. He's been back just now and restarted the heating, and said there is no problem with the boiler, and since the radiators/pipework lost almost all pressure during the day, he...

Over the last year and a bit, I've noticed the pressure in our worcester bosch greenstar 37CDi has dropped to near zero a few times. In the last couple of months it seems to be happening more frequently, so I've since been monitoring it daily - checking it several times every day when the system...

Sorry, excuse my ignorance, so that means the HW cylinder could go, for example, in a 1st floor cupboard and there wouldn't be any problem with getting HW to a shower in the loft conversion ? I hadn't thought about this kind of solution before now. Until now I had in mind just replacing the...

Hi, and thanks. the problem with that is we are thinking of having the loft converted in the future.

Hi all I've been procrastinating about a boiler replacement for some time. We have a 4 bed house with a bathroom, shower room and a soon-to-be loft conversion which may in the future have a shower put in. We often have the need for two showers running at the same time. I have heard...

They would be welcome to sleep there if they wanted. Would have to bring camp-beds though, as the place is completely empty !

Hi All Our kitchen is 7.4m x 2.8m. The kitchen itself will occupy one half and the other will be an informal dining area. The half which is the kitchen has a suspended wooden floor while the other half is solid. We want to have underfloor heating in both parts. Will there be any special...
