Nope, but it doesnt seem any higher

Nope, no dripping anywhere that I can see

As far as I know all the pipework is securely clipped yes. We've only had issues with water hammer when the combi was first installed and the DHW pipework was getting used to the high pressure, and the pressure has always been quite high. Would it be normal for water hammer to continue...

Hi all We had 2 bits of underground supply pipe replaced recently as we could hear a constant running water sound in the cellar despite no evidence of leaks. Initially a chap from Homeserve came and replaced a stretch within the property boundary, but he reckoned there was a further leak out in...

Silly question but I'm just curious Do all non-combustible consumer units have a front flap that lifts upwards from the bottom? And is this so they can't be left open, thus reducing/containing combustion risk? I just wondered because the design makes them a bit of a pain when they're mounted...

Hi people! Can anyone tell me whether it's indicative of a problem if one of my RCDs trips when the power comes back on after a power cut? I had a brief power cut a week or so ago, as did the whole neighbourhood given the number of alarms going off, but whilst most of the alarms stopped when it...

Thanks for the reply and yeah I get there are a lot of possible causes. I was just wondering about the false alarms that occur due to power failure though and why some alarms go off when the power does, and some when the power is restored. It happened in my neighbourhood last night.

Hi all I wonder if someone could indulge me in my curiosity as to why false alarms occur when they do. Backstory: I live round the corner from a housing development c 1998 and remember when the houses were first built and occupied there was a regular cocophony of false alarms left, right and...

Will do, cheers (y) At least I know it was just that and I don't have to worry about using the boiler over the weekend :D

Thanks for that suggestion, as it inspired me to get my head under there and have a proper look! You can see where the joint between the flexible pipe from the condensate trap and the plastic waste pipe has been dislodged! I have shoved them back together and fingers crossed, the dripping has...

I have just had my British Gas branded Worcester combi boiler repaired by a British Gas engineer after it was slowly leaking mains water from what turned out to be a split manifold. All was good for 2 days, now today the work surface underneath it and the floor under the washing machine below...

Hi all Simple query really as to whether this would be flagged up on an EICR and under what category. The 2-gang light switch on my first floor landing is connected to 2 lighting circuits, thus both of these would need to be turned off at the CU were it to be replaced. I know this is generally...

A bit late here but I was reading through the replies about possibilities and rolling my eyes thinking 'just change the pump'! I've had that issue on 3 occasions with my British Gas branded Worcester Bosch boiler, where the display showed U9 and the boiler got really hot but provided no hot...

Hi all I put my washing machine (Indesit) on a 95C wash today to clean it out as is sometimes advised and afterwards I noticed a small amount of water has leaked out from underneath. My initial thoughts were maybe there is a seal somewhere e.g. on the pump that didn't like the hot water. Could...

Hi all First of all I know what Lamona can be like but I had no choice in the matter. My cooker hood, LAM2403, hasn't been working for a few months. The light does work which obviously proves the fused spur is fine, but the motor is silent and dead. Before anyone suggests a replacement cooker...

Hi All Can anyone recommend a brand of 10A bathroom light pull switches? Personally I'd prefer one where the terminals are in the part you affix to the ceiling and then the surface screws just screw on a cover, bit less fiddly but feel free to tell me if they tend to be less reliable! My...

Hi So my Wooshitter (as some of you call it) boiler is playing up again. Sat here earlier and heard a banging noise, went down to the cellar and noticed the boiler display said U9, which I know means it was kettling at 109C. We had an issue with this before where the heating and hot water...

Mine WAS a space saver compared to the much bigger but otherwise identical version that heats part of the youth centre where I work

We moved into this house in 1990 when I was a nipper, it had a GloWorm spacesaver on a pumped CH/gravity DHW system. In 1998 we had issues with the pilot light going out on a regular basis so my parents had it looked at, engineers fixed the fault but said it wouldn't live another year......It...

I think it gets tested with every service and then when we had a new hob and gas fire installed too, I never got informed of a lack of pressure I'm aware people will have differing opinions of BG engineers but the last time I brought this issue up with them they just turned down the valve...
