Hello, I've been trying to unblock a kitchen/garden drain and lifted the inspection chamber to the front of the house to see what was in there. I found 6 or so inlets. These presumably come from my and surrounding houses. I'd bought a set of rods but the inlets in my house's direction...

Just about to set about changing the sockets, light switches etc in my house and was thinking of using MK Logic Pluses but I saw these Designa ones - seem cheap and was wondering whether to go for them. Would anybody recommend them (or to steer clear of them)? I don't want to bother if it's a...

My landlord's plumber has ordered a replacement for a scaled up Bristan Pisa shower by ordering a Java. Now, I didn't think at the time but the price was so cheap I've just checked the net and guessed that the Java is a non-thermostatic type whereas the Pisa was thermo. The hot water runs...

Hi - I'm selling my house and the buyer has pannicked about the slight smell of gas that we have always had in the kitchen cupboard. We once had this checked out by someone (can't remember who, may have been BG or Transco) and they said it was normal. Who do I call out to get it checked...

Hi, Just moved into a place with a 4 yo (ish) Baxi 130 HE. It seems ok on the CH and the DHW for the shower also seems ok (given a bit of patience) but being able to get a sink full of hot water for washing up or a bath is virtually impossible. Throttling the taps back seems to get the...

Deep joy, after only 3 months ago having a new HE fitted, the damn thing's in lockout. Rebooting it seems to try to ignite but nothing's burning and it then times out/locksout after 5 tries or so. Reading a few other posts tonight I am wondering if it's a sticky gas valve. Certainly was...

If anyone here with knowledge of Wikipedia knows how to edit pages there, I suggest someone checks out the page for "CORGI" as I'm sure it needs editing slightly (harking back to the legal/illegal debates).

I have fairly recently moved to an extremely hard water area. Thanks to the developers of this new build not knowing or caring about this fact has cost me one heat exchanger for a PowerMax 140. I have been advised to fit a scale inhibitor for what should be half the price of a HE (about £100...

I used to have a Vokera many moons ago and it was quiet, reliable and really efficient. As my current system is on its last legs I am thinking of having a Vokera Syntesi (probably 25) installed. Does anyone have any feedback on this boiler's performance/reliability etc. I don't want to put...

Hello, I have a four year old Whirlpool FF which was not used for the first 2 years. It worked fine (apart from gurgling a lot and forming a bit of an airloc in the fridge making it difficult to open soon after closing!) until just shortly after fully defrosting it a few weeks back, it...

Hi - I've had the same problem with my 1999 Worcester for the past 2 years now on and off. During periods of quite high use (heating and water simultaneously) the boiler locks out and needs resetting. This is quite intermittent but can sometimes happen several times a day and is pretty...
