We continue to have problems with our Vaillant boiler which was installed last July; the company who installed it have still not managed to get our heating controls working. We had months with uncontrollable heating, and for the last few weeks have not been able to turn it off at all! Yesterday...

New Vaillant Ecotec pro 30 boiler installed in August, worked OK for two months then the pressure suddenly dropped. Tried to raise it but it shot right up and made a very loud constant noise that we could only stop by turning water completely off. So no heating or water at all for a few days...

We have an AEG single oven, about 14 years old. It has started turning itself off when it gets hot after 20 mins or so. We had this problem three years ago and were advised on here to change the cooling fan thermostat (or something like that), which solved the problem. Should we get a new oven...

Our AEG integrated combi microwave went bang the other day! The oven and grill are still working but the microwave is not. It is about 12 years old. Any idea what the problem might be and can it be repaired? Thanks.

We had a plumber start to fit new shower a few months ago. He put a new waste pipe in, then due to family illness, the building company had to stop the work. We found a new company to take over. This builder said the shower tray could go straight onto the floor and we did not need the legs we...

Our AEG oven keeps turning itself off after about 20 mins, whether it is the oven or the grill which is on. We changed the element (following someone's suggestion on here when I posted about the problem a while ago), but that has not made any difference to the problem. I have read on here it...

We have just had a new doorway put in a wall, but the builder got the height of the door wrong and put the lintel too low. As we did not want him to cut the door to make it smaller, and he did not want to take the lintel out (that he had just put in), he has cut the lintel by about 4cm. Is this...

We had UFH installed when we had a new kitchen extension. In order to lower our high energy usage, we want to turn it off but cannot work out how to. The plumber who installed it left no instructions. I am very sure it is gas and not electric. There is a wall-mounted thermostat (Drayton...

Hi, I would welcome any suggestions as to what might be our problem. Our AEG oven has started turning itself off and tripping the main board whenever we have it at over about 190/200. It is about 9 years old and had a new fan put in about a year ago. It would be great if we could find out...

My dishwasher stopped working a few weeks ago. When I turn it on, the lights come on, it gurgles quietly for a while and about 2" of water comes into it which gathers at the bottom, and eventually goes away. But nothing else happens. There is not the normal sound of a wash cycle. My husband...

Hi, We are literally right in the middle of replacing our fan oven element for the first time, trying to follow instructions from You Tube. Got the back panel off but only one wire is attached to the element. Does this mean one has disappeared behind the oven or do we just attach it to the...

Hi, We are going to install a toilet and sink into our utility room, which already has a sink. I have been given mixed messages from builders and hope someone here can give me the correct answers. 1. Do we need to apply for permission? - cloakroom only, no shower or bath. 2. At present the...
