Morning all, I've had a couple of PIR low battery 'Trouble' notifications of late. Replaced both without any issue. However my living room sensor is displaying the low battery warning on the panel again (only replaced about 3 weeks ago). It's not the battery as have tried swapping with...

Hi Folks, Just a quick one to put my mind at rest (or not..). I recently had an unvented cylinder installed. I'm no expert but aware installers need G3 certification and have to notify building control. I've just been chasing up my installers to make sure the building control stuff is...

Morning, A plumber has drilled through one of my bricks to feed through a copper blow out pipe from an unvented cylinder. However when drilling through it has taken a good chunk of the front of the brick off to a depth of 0.5 -1 inch. I have kept the pieces of brick. Basically can anyone...

Morning all, got my boiler sorted last week and now finally decided to get the unvented cylinder. My installer recommended a 200 litre tank and wonder if this is big enough? 2 adults and 2 children (who will grow up of course). 1 bathroom and 2 ensuites. At the min I shower in the morning and...

Hi all. Following my recent threads, my boiler has now been written off and I am now obtaining quotes for a new boiler and unvented cylinder. I've had a good quote today, however I have been quoted for a heat only boiler. I thought a system boiler would be more appropriate for an unvented...

Morning all, I called our home emergency cover yesterday and a heating engineer came out to basically say he think's our boiler is beyond economical repair. I also have a Gledhill Systemate 2000 which has two leaking pump valves and he advised I get rid of this also (it, like the boiler, is 14...

Morning all, It looks like my boiler is in trouble. I've noticed this morning that my electrics have tripped and I have isolated the fault to my boiler. I have a several year old Glow-worm. By the looks of it, it is a heat only boiler. I was thinking about a new boiler anyway, so I dont want to...

Good morning, I am planning to wall mount the TV in the living room. I had planned to move the coax aerial point and a double socket to the centre and then put a TV unit in front to hide the sockets and where the cables exit from the wall running from the TV. The thing that is giving me a...

Hi again, Following my other thread about the water regulator I also wanted to know generally what thoughts are about the heating system and If I should invest in replacing. I have a conventional boiler (Glow worm Micron 60FF) in situ with a Gledhill Systemate 2000 thermal store (Id never...

Hi folks, Been a while since I posted here, but just moved into a new property so have a couple of queries. I have very poor flow rate in my ensuite shower (reasonable everywhere else). I've noticed a water regulator has been fitted by the stopcock. I have attached a picture. Basically can...

Hi all, I have a loft light switch with neon indicator light. The switch itself works perfectly fine but the neon indicator is permanently illuminated, whether the switch is on or off. I am not sure if it designed to be permanently illuminated or if it is wired incorrectly. I have taken a...

Hi all, I am sure a few of us have this problem at this time of year. I have had condensation before but I must admit it is the worst it has been this year. I have read all of the guides and general advice - one of which is to keep the loft hatch closed. However as a temporary fix would it...

Good morning, I have a quick question regarding fitting of a new single electric oven. The new oven comes with a 13A plug (Indesit FIM33KAIX). My old oven is hardwired into a connection plate behind the oven which is connected up to the cooker switch (I believe 45A?). I dont want to cut...

Good afternoon all, I have been considering a roof conversion from polycarbonate to tiled. From looking around on the internet, I am almost certain planning permission is required which is fine. However whilst looking at all the regs I have worried myself... My conservatory has a...
