I have a Hive thermostat and hub, which was installed by British Gas around 4 1/2 years ago. Thermostat on back says it’s Model WPT1. The Hub is a Nano 2 Hub V2, Sales Code HUB320. British Gas have emailed me and offered me 6 months free Hive Heating Plus. Does anyone know if my existing...

I've got a new boiler, Hive heating hub, receiver & thermostat installed 2 1/2 years ago. My Mum had a new boiler, Hive thermostat & receiver installed during the summer, but not a hub. I installed that for her a few weeks ago so that I could control her heating from a distance. On both my...

I'm viewing some flats just now (built 1970) and am looking for some guidance re ventilating the bathroom in the flat I’m really keen on buying (Flat A). Sorry if this is a bit long-winded, but it’s the only way that I can describe the situation. I just need to know what my options are before I...

We’ve been getting quotes to install a new Worcester Bosch Greenstar 30Si boiler. We won’t be installing new radiators, but will be getting a system water treatment and power flush. An optional extra is to have a Magnetic System Filter installed. We’d appreciate advice as to whether or not we...

We recently had our 18 month old PIR LED security floodlight replaced with a V-Tac VT-4850 PIR LED security floodlight. The previous light failed under warranty and so was replaced less than 2 weeks ago by the company who had rewired our house and installed it. The light is above our kitchen...

My Mum is moving house shortly and taking her old Fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine with her. My husband will be disconnecting the appliances and Mum's buyer will reconnect her own appliances. We assume the disconnection is quite straightforward. Does he just simply turn off the...

Apologies in advance if this post appears a bit long winded but I want to make sure that I give you all the info so that you can give me the right sort of advice. Our two-bed semi was built in 1960, with an extension built in 1981 before we moved here in 1982. In 1998 we got it rewired with...

We had a new fire installed on 1/8/12. Due to mild weather we have only had it on two or three times since then. Went to put it on this morning and can't get the burners to light. It has a side slider control which you hold down for 20 seconds before releasing. During this time it clicks...

We have a British Gas Worcester Bosch C1 combi boiler. When we have the heating on the pressure gauge needle sits at 4, which is the max. It's been off the last few months, but we've had it on and off over the last couple of days. It was switched off at 9am this morning. It is now 3.15pm and the...

My cornice is currently painted with gloss and I am going to paint it over with eggshell. Is there anything I need to do in preparation for this or need to know about? Also should I paint the cornice before or after I paint the walls and ceiling? Three walls and ceiling are going to be...

Not sure if this is the right forum to post in, but I'm hoping someone on the forum can offer me some advice. I have Karndean in my kitchen and carpet in my dining room. When we replaced the old carpet and the metal trim between the two rooms, a short end piece of Karndean (about 6" long) lifted...
