Hi, My elderly Potterton Profile is kettling and short cycling. It runs for about a minute and a half, hisses like a kettle and then shuts down for about a minute until the hissing has subsided and then starts up again. I've used Sentinel X800 and X200 in the past which improved it, but...

Hotpoint Iced Diamond RFA52 circa 2006 MY The F/F is constantly running. The fridge compartment is freezing at about -6 and the freezer at about -30. In the fridge compartment frost builds up in the top left corner. I've fitted a new thermostat but that's made no difference and the door...

I have an old stone built end terrace house (C.1880) where the walls are double skinned with a loose rubble infill. I have discovered some nasty damp in the rear wall which has rotted the MDF skirting boards which were fitted about 15 years ago. The plaster and render seems mostly OK, apart...

My boiler has been kettling and the rads not getting very hot, so on Monday I drained the system, filled it/drained it again, then filled and added a bottle of Sentinel X800 cleaner and left it for 24 hours. I had the heating and hot water on for several hours on Monday evening and then left it...

Hi All, I've designed a kitchen for a rental property and got my Gas Safe guy round to give me a quote to fit the kitchen and do the plumbing and electrics. He's thrown me a bit of a curve ball though, as he's insisted that there must be a 20mm gap either side of the cooker. So my 608mm cooker...

Hi, My Glow Worm boiler is making a horrible grinding type noise when on hot water. It's nice and quiet when on central heating. I've popped the cover off and had a good look and listen while the hot bath tap is running and the noise seems to be coming from the diverter valve. I took the...

Back in November I had a small building firm lay a laminate floor in the lounge of an empty rental property I have. The house is a Victorian stone built end terraced, which has a knocked through lounge with a slightly uneven concrete floor. The laminate boards are 7mm thick Baltario Harvest...

Hello, I have a Potterton Profile conventional boiler that last year was making some horrible noises, glugging, burping and hissing madly like a boiling kettle, and would keep shutting down. Last February, I drained down the system and refilled a couple of times and added a couple of bottles...
