My hot water pressure has always been poor. My boiler is serviced annually and I was told in July and August (when they visited and when I recalled them) that my boiler was fine. I've since had United Utilities out to check water pressure and they said my pressure is actually above what the...

I've recently had my boiler serviced as mentioned that the pressure was always dropping and I was having to keep repressurising it. The engineer stated there was nothing wrong with the boiler and that maybe the rads needed bleeding? We have a towel rail which always seems to need bleeding and no...

I removed my pipework today as they needed cleaning due to the smells. Stupidly I didn't take a picture of the set up prior to removing them and now I can't figure out how to reconnect? All I do remember is that the trap was connected directly to outlet of the main sink but I can't for love...

I have a Main Combi 24 boiler which is regularly serviced and as far as I am aware if working ok. My system has no leaks that I am aware of but I have encountered a situation that is baffling me?? The boiler is on timed and comes on twice a day wherbey the pressure is up where it should be...

I've lived in my house for 2 years and always had to tolerate a pathetic flow of hot water. The cold is fast and powerful but the hot is just like a fast trickle! Surely it's the same pressure coming in so presumably something is happening with the boiler which is a Main Combi 24? Any ideas?

I have a Main Combi 24 boiler which appears to be working ok? I have recently had cause to remove 2 rads due to decorating needs which has been completed no problem. I have re-pressurised the system and all is working but for some reason the boiler seems to gain pressure throughout the day. I...

We have the above cooker that we purchased 2 years ago. The grill has always seemed to have an intermittant fault that is now a permanent one in that the grill won't stay lit. It fires and lights but as soon as you remove your finger from the button it goes out like there's no gas supply? Any...

I clearly have a leak on my system as the boiler is losing pressure daily although not a massive amount. I've read somewhere that if water is coming out of the pipe that runs externally from the boiler then this could suggest an issue with the boiler's pressure valve. I've checked everywhere...

I have recently bought a new fridge freezer so moved my old one into the garage. Due to the recent cold weather the temperature in my garage is lower than that of the thermostat so the fridge freezer shuts off and defrosts. I want to have 2 fridge freezers so is it possible to have some form of...

I have recently removed a radiator so that the room can be decorated. Throughout having this radiator off the heating system has still been functioning but the pipes seemed to have started banging. I have now put the radiator back on but the banging is still there and wakes my kids up in the...

I have a Main 24 combi boiler. All my rads are fitted with regulator/thermostat valves. I also have a room thermostat in my hallway in between the doors to my living room and dining room. My questions are : 1) How do I know if my thermostat is working in conjunction with my boiler? 2) What...
