    Possible leak in central heating system'

    Thanks Dextraneous and thanks even more so, Ian. Where would the World be without decent guys like you? The contract I have with British Gas is one of these £12 per month jobs, with one visit per year so it sounds as though I may be covered for this work. So my plan is: 1. Book a...

    Possible leak in central heating system'

    Ian, That strikes me as being exceptionally helpful. Thanks very much for taking the trouble to reply. If I may trouble you with a three extra questions: 1. I am due a boiler service now from British Gas. Do you think the expansion vessel is something that their engineer would do when...

    Possible leak in central heating system'

    Hello Good Guys Who Help People, I moved into a new build bungalow nine years ago. It is quite big - 4 bedrooms, 2 public rooms, kitchen, utility and 2 bathrooms - so there is a lot of plastic piping. I have a combi boiler and I think it is called a pressurised, sealed system. From the...

    SLEEP SOLUTIONS - http://store.sleepsolutionsuk.com/ WARNING Think very carefully indeed before buying any items from this company. Despite their proclamations of good customer service my experience is of the exact opposite. After telling me on the actual day that my delivery would be made...

    DANFOSS RADIATOR CONTROLS

    Thanks very much, *** Army. I'm taking from that that I am okay to keep using the Danfoss regularly but for the one or two that I do not use regularly I should leave them a wee bit short of full on or full off. Thanks again.

    DANFOSS RADIATOR CONTROLS

    Hi Everyone, To keep on top of the gas bill I have for the first time this year been turning individual radiators on and off as required by use of the Danfoss controls. They certainly do the job although they are just a wee bit stiff/tight to turn. Can anyone just reassure me that regular...

    TELEPHONE EXTENSION SOCKETS

    Hi Alarm, I'm not sure what you mean by the numbers. I've just recently heard about the wireless ones. Will they work with a Sky box? Are they easy to use? Where would I get one and maybe read a wee bit about them? Many thanks.

    TELEPHONE EXTENSION SOCKETS

    Yes, they certainly did work. For example the router was working of one and the 'phone of a second. What I don't know is if they packed in before the engineer arrived or because of his visit.

    TELEPHONE EXTENSION SOCKETS

    Hello, My broadband router was running extremely slowly. A BT engineer called and moved it from an extension socket to the master socket and it worked. After he left I realised that my three extension sockets were not working. I'm not sure if this was due to something he did or if the...

    Heating an unoccupied home

    Hi Guys, Would be extremely grateful for urgent advice. My two grown up kids are coming home for Christmas and leaving a ‘modern’ flat empty in Edinburgh. Temperatures are going to be grim over the next few days. Draining down systems, etc. is not an option. The boiler is a BAXI...

    GAS FLUE

    Hi BlueMoonMole, Thank you for this - very interesting indeed. The boiler is a Potterton Powermax HE Condensing Boiler with Integrated Hot Water Storage. I'm afraid there is no possibility of moving it to the front. It is a modern flat and the front is all glass. Great point about...

    GAS FLUE

    Hello Helpful People, I bought a brand new flat three years ago. Recently, I had to have the ceilings removed and replaced at a lower level and 'ugly' inspection hatches installed in the ceiling so that the gas glue (which runs right from the back of the property to the front) can be...

    SKYPLUS AND SKY MULTIROOM

    Very many thanks to everyone who replied. I got the reply below from another forum in case it is of use to anyone. ------------------------ Hi Yes, from what I've read a Single Cable Router can deliver four satellite sockets from one - rather clever. It's actually two units; one in...
