I have just moved into a brand new house in a terrace of six. All have different layouts inside. In the main bedroom on the first floor (located at the front) is an en-suite shower room. Two of the houses in my terrace have windows in their en-suite shower rooms that face out onto the front...

Is it a wise idea to site a combi boiler near where the most of the water will be used? This would save wasting a lot of cold water going through the pipes to the shower/taps.

Just moved into a brand new two bed house. There is a BAX combi boiler and underfloor heating which run off three thermostats and circuits. I have turned the dial on the boiler that deals with heating water up to 57 (the maximum is 60), yet I do not get a HOT shower, just something a bit more...

My shower leaked into the living room below and stained the ceiling ...about 6" by 8". 1) Where can I buy a small amount of stain blocker, as in the shops that I've been too they only sell it in litre tins! 2) Is any make recommended? 3) Are there different colours of stain blocker? My ceiling...

My parents have a six year old, four- bed house with three toilets. One, on the first floor is hardly ever used. There has been a musky, but not unpleasant smell in the well- ventilated toilet room for a while and on examination I've found the level of water in the toilet bowl to be very low. Is...

I have a newish home, so plasterboard walls (magnolia) I guess. I reached out and knocked my bedside lamp from its perch on top of a cabinet and it fell against the wall and bounced between said cabinet and said wall and has gorged and marked the plasterboard four times. What is the best filler...

I hope that I've got this right, that combi boilers are better for smaller homes where the demand for water is less? How much roughly would it cost to remove the four foot high unvented water storage tank and also the boiler that feeds it and replace it with a combi boiler? And how long would...

My central heating system has two Honeywell thermostats (ground and upper floors) and a Honeywell control box in the airing cupboard on the first floor that controls the unvented water cylinder. All have a "holiday" button, which, if I've read the bumph correctly, makes them drop to 10° for the...

In my six year old Linden-built house there are two toilets on the first floor and a small one on the ground floor near the front door. With regard to the ground floor one (see photo), at water level it is only about four inches from side to side and the water is only about three inches deep...

I happened to be up at 4am today. The thermostats in my six year old house are set at 21° and they showed a temperature of 17° in the house. Not a problem as the central heating system is set to come on only between 6am-8an, noon-1pm and 6pm-11pm. But my new Worcester boiler started purring as...

I've just bought a five year old house and have I have now established that I have an unvented water cylinder (in the airing cupboard on the first floor) which next to it is a digital box that could be an on/off regulator, or a thermostat.....not sure. And I have a Worcester Greenstar R. I...

My house is five years old. The ground floor thermostat is on the wall in the wide hallway. Behind the hallway is a large kitchen which has NO thermostat in it. The door to the front room is usually closed and in this room is a radiator with NO thermostat on it, so it can't be turned down...

The three thermostats ...ground floor, first floor and next to the water tank on the cupboard on the first floor all turn off at 10.30pm. Yet green flame light was still on at 11.15pm and the boiler was quietly whirring away. Why is this?

I've a new boiler but when away for three weeks on holiday, is it best to turn off the boiler ....or.....turn the three thermostats off?

Just moved into a four-bed, five year old house in Glos. There is a Worcester Greenstar boiler in kitchen on the ground floor. On a ground floor hallway wall is a Honeywell CM 907 thermostat which has too many buttons and programmes and a second one on the wall of the first-floor main bedroom...

I viewed a house today built about 1985. The garage is separate from the house and the rear quarter of the garage has been separated by a dividing wall to create a utility room. There is no water tank in the house so I presume it is a combination boiler and it is a valliant model. The heated...
