Hi I recently had a plumber round to fix the motorised valve on the central heating system. While he was working on the system he found a couple of issues: 1. He asked me if I had to bleed the radiators a lot. Funnily enough I have to do it weekly when the heating's on a lot, even though...

Hi I've got a Worcester 30CDi conventional boiler and a Megaflo tank. I've had the heating off since May with the hot water timer coming on twice a day. Everything has been working well with the system since it was installed 2.5 years ago. The water was only lukewarm last night and this...

Hi I did something really stupid today. I have an integrated washing machine, and I noticed that the wood cupboard door wasn't quite fitted straight. So I unscrewed all the screws off the hinge attached to the washing machine. I didn't realise that one of the screws was holding a metal plate on...

Hello I just checked the pressure gauge on the small red tank next to my megaflo and found that the red indicator was on 2.5 and the black indicator was on 1. In my foolish attempt to repressurise the system I have managed to get the black indicator down to 0 (by turning a red round knob)...

Hi I recently had a new Worcester boiler and Megaflo cylinder fitted. All worked fine for three months. Then one radiator was taken off for decoration. After the rad was replaced I started getting the banging problem. (Not sure if the rad being taken off and put back on is relevant). Anyway...

Hello I have an airlock problem with 2 of my rads. This has happened before when the system's been drained but I've always managed to sort it in 24hrs by trial and error. Now it's not working. Problem: - plumber came to move a rad in one room, thus draining the system. - once...

Hi I'm currently planning a second-storey side extension and have been doing the drawings myself. I've now decided to include a loft conversion with my application. I'm going to use the existing box room as access to the stairs for the loft. Other than that I have no idea re roof structure and...

Hello My problem is that my loft hatch is very drafty. The hatch door does not fit snugly in the frame - there are huge gaps around 2 sides of the door. Hence the upstairs landing gets very cold. Details of loft hatch: Door opens swinging downwards. Pull-down ladder comes down from the...

Hello. I have a problem with a dripping central heating overflow. We recently had a couple of rads taken off and put back on so that we could decorate. Since then the overflow has been leaking. Sometimes it just drips, but sometimes it's pouring out. This happened before and we guessed that...
