Looking to install a towel radiator and running the pipes. Are there set standards for pipe width so I can set the pipes in position before buying the radiator? I see there are typical widths like 450mm, 500mm and 600mm etc. Are the pipe widths also standard for these? Also seen another...

Hi All, Have a foul waste drain running down the side of the house. Have 3 inspection covers along the run. The last being a metre from the pavement where the final clay pipe runs to the road. It was built up with solids and quite dry looking like there hadn't been much movement for a good...

Hi All, As title, got a fascia board on the house which was installed as two boards. Where they meet obviously leaves a crack over time regardless of using filler etc. Is there a way to tie the two boards together in situ? Like maybe some kind of clip that can be embedded across them? Cheers

Biasi Advance 30C. Uses one of those new electronic detect flow switches clipped onto the pipe. Blue plastic with a small pcb showing a few transistors. Even though the hot tap has been turned off, the boiler is still showing as tap open (flashing tap icon) and continues heating it until max...

From what I've read this is possibly a pump failure but not sure. Could it be something else? Tap hot water comes out then cools...heats again....cools and then boiler goes into error 14. Boiler is a Biasi Advance 30C 30KW Combi.

Hi All, Had an EICR test done. Few things failed which I understand fine. However, the guy inspecting also said I need to make an earth bonding to a metal stopcock that has plastic pipe either side. This is the mains water stopcock coming from a mains plastic pipe. Is this the case? Thanks.

Hi All, Have various metal light fittings, mains sockets and light switches in property. I wanted to check if the earth wire has been connected to the metal fitting itself. Is there a way to test this without having to open all of them up? Thanks

As title - after a combi boiler is totally switched off (CH has been on) after what amount of time would you expect condensate to stop dripping? Thanks!

Biasi model M110B.32SM/C Well maintained boiler. Works most of the time but sometimes when turning the hot tap on it won't ignite. When it works it's very quiet and is sweet as a nut. Well serviced, regular new inhibitor etc. You can see it going through the ignition sequence making various...

Does anyone know if a central heating leak could be detected through floorboards using a thermal image sensor? Just want to save ripping up all the floorboards. Thanks!

Hi All, Back after a long while. Have a multi-point lock on a front UPVC door. It's an unusual system where you turn the key itself several times to move the multi-point system instead of lifting the handle. When opening the door from the inside with the handle it's no problem at all on the...

Hello All, Biasi Combi 24C. When turning tap on the pin from the diverter valve pushes out but not enough to activate the microswitch. The system is clean, no crud. Have changed the diaphragm. The pin otherwise is smooth and not restricted when pressing by hand. Have even changed the...

Hi Everyone, I'm helping out an elderly relative where this RCBO keeps tripping. It's a MK 7932s Regardless of whether all items it supplies are on or off it will either stay on for about 5 mins and then trip...or just trip immediately. So I'm assuming it's a fault with the RCBO itself? I've...

Hi All, Ideal Isar. Water leaking but boiler pressure fine. Water pooling in chassis tray below main HE. When feeling at the back of the burner cover ledge it is also wet. I'm familiar with the traps getting blocked but that is certainly clear and very little water comes through condensate...

Some help needed please. If a GSE comes to service a boiler (Ideal Isar) and provide a CP12 for boiler & gas hob - what kind of timescale are we looking at them spending? Thanks!

Hopefully someone here has some experience of working with NVRs and IP cameras I bought a Reolink 410S POE Bullet IP camera. I've connected it to a Dahua NVR2104 NVR. It finds the camera when scanning but after I configure it with user name/password it shows 'green light' status but nothing...

Hi All, Have block and brick house with smooth concrete render. Have replaced windows with UPVC but need to pack the concrete render corners out a bit to make good. Previously bodged with wooden windows placed in. Now I can either grind back the corners completely a few inches and use...

Hello Everyone, Looking for dark grey masonry paint but it seems it's not easy to find. Found one by Sandtex called 'Evening Shadow'but according to the reviews it looks purple. Anyone got any recommendations? Dark grey to almost black. Anywhere in that category. Failing that I assume mixing...

Wonder if anyone can help with this problem. Replaced a shower mixer tap which had a fixed head with exposed chrome pipe from the mixer. However the new mixer's outlet is further set away from the wall (7.5cm) and I can't find any kind of fixed head bracket that stands out that far so the pipe...

Hello Everyone, Changing some guttering that connects with neighbouring houses. The current one installed is half round made by Brett and states on it '152mm NOM'. From what I see there is 150mm guttering in the market - is this okay to connect up with it or do I need to buy this 152mm stuff...
