Hi Helping a friend... The filler loop has been put on with a spanner rather than hand tightened, but I am curious about configuration... See photo. Cold comes from the right, goes up hose and then down into a non return valve. That bit us what I would expect. But it is T junction so water...

Am I allowed to fill in a disused drain that takes gutter water from a small section of roof. I have rerouted drainpipe. The drain in question in on a path at side of house. It is only 1.5m from a main inspection cover. My slight concern is 'gases build up' however there are two in use drains...

Hi after much frustration from my boiler it seems to be stuck in frost protection mode. It basically works ie heating and hot water but when both are not required it keeps doing things including sometimes even lighting. Lights seem to suggest frost protection mode Link to video. Will be posted soon.

Hi for reasons too boring to mention I wish to return my combi biasi boiler to its original state. It had a small loop wire which I had to remove. I then fed in two cables into boiler. I did it correctly and it has been fine for many yrs. I thought doing the reverse would be simple and yet I'm...

Hello. We have recently had our 13yr old Biasi combi repaired (new heat exchanger, divertor, and motor). Hurrah we now have hot water and heating. However the only way to turn it off seems to be at wall ie no hot water. When the thermostat iis turned off, it communicates this properly. The...

Hi I bought the item myself, thinking I could fit it but reality is I can't. I have a company lined up to fit it and will probably go ahead as my experience with their initial call out is good . I don't want to go round getting lots of other quotes however I was always taught not to accept one...

Hi I've been banished to the bedroom with covid. Our mains keeps tripping. It is definitely main ringmain citvuit We have pulled every appliance out of sockets and still tripping. The saving grace is that I have one double plug socket near consumer unit which is its own circuit. So at present...

Hi I recently (few months ago) accepted defeat and fitted a whole new valve (flow master). It worked beautifully and I could hear the column drop and seal. A beautiful sound because the previous one didn't seal properly (don't worry, all sorts of issues!) Anyway at present the issue is that it...

Hi A socket in my kitchen which permanently hosts washine machine / dishwasher extension is slightly burned. It happens to be neutral on plug and neural socket. Obviously I am going to replace both soon. However curious to know what could have caused this. Originally I thought it was rust and...

Hi Living with three females and their patience with me is running out! So far I have tried the following: 1) replaced mixer bar (would have just replaced inner cartridge thing but Triton said it was discontinued). 2) have fiddled with pressure reducing valve feeding bathroom (fitted by me yrs...

I am currently doing battle with ours. Have replaced the main washer which lifts up and drops down. Somehow this is still letting water through so the cistern never stays full and valve is constantly refilling (it's now worse than it was and swuesks/moans at me). Radio 4 had a documentary...
