Hi, I,m laying 12mm laminate in my hallway. There are 3 doors opening off the hallway. Despite much searching I am unable to find any advice on finishing at doorways. Do I stop short of, go flush with, or go past the door jam. If its the first, or the last option, by how much? Sorry...

Ok I,ve done some checking. When the boiler is making its vibrating noise the flames on the burners are really low, then when noise stops they go up to full height. Is this consistent with solenoid and/or servo. If so can they be easily replaced or do I need a new gas control valve. The...

Solenoid and modu reg. How do I test them. Can they be tested in situ? Would just like to point out this noise was not there prior to replacing holed diaphragm.

When the boiler is cold, drawing hot water or using the CH causes the boiler to vibrate. I have found the best way to temporary eliminate this noise is to cycle between DWH and CH. After doing this several times the noise stops. The problem then starts all over again when the boiler is...

After repairing a holed diaphragm and giving the boiler a service it now vibrates. The vibration starts first thing in the morning when the CH kicks in. Turning on the hot tap to temporarily stop CH then turning off hot tap cures the problem. Every thing is fine. The heating goes off mid...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Took the old diaphragm to the merchant who quoted £26 for a halstead one and asked if he could match it with a cheaper one. Came away with an identical one for £8. Got hot water now. Thanks.

Wasn,t sure which diaphragm I should be looking at. Pulled out the large diaphragm to the right and sure enough theres a hole in it! Now I just need to get a replacement. One guy quouted £39 +vat!! Halstead quoted £26.38. Seems alot of money for a rubber disc, or are the maybe quoting...

Well I,ve been fiddling with this boiler for the last couple of days now. Still no hot water. If I take the DHW switch off and operate the switch manually the boiler will fire up straight away. The pin that should operate it comes out, but not far enough to operate the switch untill the water...

Thanks for the advice. They do a diverter valve diaphragm and a diverter valve inner service kit. Which one do I need? Or do I need both?

Hi, My Halstead Ace combi boiler will not fire up for DHW unless the the tap is opened fully. I then only get luke warm water. To get piping hot water I then have to reduce the flow from the tap to about 30% of the full flow. If the central heating has fired up then DHW will not fire up at...
