I want to hang some mirrors on dot and dab plasterboard walls. This means that the screws will not be screwed all the way into the plasterboard fixing as the bracket on the mirror needs to hang on it. I am also worried that there may not be enough room between the plasterboard and the breeze...

We have two issues. I suspect that they are not actually problems – the heating work fine. Worcester Greenstar CDi. Installed in unheated garage. Protected by Honeywell pipestat and froststat. 1. The garage was cold (approx. 7° C). The room thermostat had demanded heating and the...

Please excuse my ignorance, but doesn't the induction hob heat the food and that heats the pan by conduction. As you can see by the hole in the worksurface, we don't actually have the hob yet. Thanks

Thanks John. That was something that I had not considered. Time to google glass splashbacks.

Hi, we would like to fit an acrylic splashback along our kitchen worktop. This means that it would be about 25mm from an induction hob. I am aware that you should not have an acrylic splashback close to a 'source of heat' (above 140°C?) and this would be an issue with a gas or radiant...

My concern is that I have to buy a bulb for the new luminaire. It has an E27 fitting, so I know I need a bulb with the appropriate Edison fitting. There are two sources of information about the bulb that I should buy. The manufacturer's website says '60W max'. The box that the luminaire came...

I have been looking at replacement luminaries for the wall outside our French windows. For the ones we like, the box says E27, 10 W led. The data sheet on the manufacturer's website says 60W max. I presume the 60W limit is due to heat build up from an incandescent bulb within the enclosed...

Thanks Stem, I have always assumed that there would be a 2-3° difference in opening and closing temps on the switches to keep the system stable so it's not continually going off and on. Thanks for confirming the frost stat connections. I could see no reference to them in the 'standard's control...

Stem, Yes, the pipe stat is on the return between the magnetic filter and the boiler. For water temperature, I am using the display on the front of the boiler. I understood that in normal operating conditions you would look for a 20° drop in water temp between flow and return. I have just...

I have now replaced the pipe stat. It was wired between Common and terminal 2. The Honeywell manual (see diagram above) says Common and 1. I have wired the new Pipe stat in line with the instructions. The Frost protection on the boiler is now happening much less frequently and the pump no...

Starting conditions 1. Garage air temp (according to digital thermometer) 7.8°C 2. Water temperature in Boiler approx. 55°C 3. Garage Honeywell T4360 Froststat set to 5°C 4. Garage Honeywell L641B1004 pipestat, set to 20°C 5. System controller set to heating on...

Once the demand for heating has gone (I.e. wall thermostat reaches temp), does the time for the boiler to go out vary? Only asking because today the boiler ignition light stayed on for about 1 minute and this seems a bit long, as I thought it should be almost instantaneous Thanks Chris

The Worcester technician came out yesterday. He has recommended that we change the pump setting from the variable power/speed setting to a constant speed. We have done this and it seems to have overcome the problem. I have also spoken to WB technical support who say that the flashing temp...

We have a 6 yo Worcester Bosch Greenstar 30CDi. Today, when the demand for heating ceased, the temperature on the boiler showed 80°C. When the green 'flame lit' light went out, the temperature started to rise quite rapidly, peaking at 108°C. The figures 108 flashed alternating with a part...

P1140199 by ChrisinDE posted 17 Nov 2016 at 8:56 PM I have a sealed system. I noticed that the last time that I had to introduce fluid (Sentinel) into the system, there was a seepage from the spindle of the ball valve on the system side of the filling loop. This might well last for years...

Before we had our porch built, we cleaned the cement stains off the bricks with brick acid. However, our builder did manage to splash more cement up the walls. As the bricks are now inside the porch, we can't use brick acid to reclean the bricks as we can't hose it off the walls. Is the...

Two years ago we cleaned out the joints between our block paved drive and filled them with kiln-dried sand. We are now finding that a few weeds and, more to the point, moss is growing in the sand. Also 'soil' tends to collect in the gaps and this seems fertile. We have tried the regular...
