Hi We have a Gainsborough Energy 2000x shower which has water leaking from the water control valve- is this a part that is easy to replace? Could we do it ourselves? Thanks!

Hi again Could you tell me if you think the following quotes are fair for fitting a new boiler ( inc thermo radiator valves, system flushing etc etc) plus one extra radiator. Also which boiler is best?? Baxi Duo Tec £1750 Worcester Greenstar 30si £1950 Ferolli 31kw £2250- this includes...

Quick question- we're having a new boiler and our waste water drainage is quite a long way from where the boiler will be- we've had two differents solutions to dealing with the waste water from the condensing boiler, the first is to pump it into the guttering above, the second to feed it down a...

Is this boiler reliable? We are changing from a very old Worcester and wondering what new one to have. Can anyone recommend a good reliable but not overly expensive condensing boiler please??

Hi In addition to the faulty fridge freezer and boiler, we are having shower problems too! Our shower is leaking - the water is coming through the screw hole at the bottom of the casing on our Gainsborough 2000 shower, and we think we're going to have to replace it. Could anyone recommend a...

Hi We have a Zanussi fridge freezer that is about 10 years old. The problem is that it seems to be powering most of the time. The thermostat is only set between 1 and 2, but it is making a noise almost all of the time- anyone have any idea why? Thanks!

Hi Could I ask all you professionals out there what you think of the Ariston Clas 38 HE Condensing Combi Boiler? Thanks! Shan

Hi all Advice needed please! We have a very old Worcester 9.25 boiler and the only way we can get hot water is by pressing the red button inside the casing. What does this red button actually do that makes the boiler work again? Someone on here recommended I press it a couple of years ago when...

Hi Had a new woodburner and new flue fitted about 4 weeks ago- it's great except when it's been burning for about an hour it starts to give off a really strong unpleasant chemical/painty smell- it's definately not a wood or smoke smell, it's got to the stage where we're a bit scared to use it...

Hi Could anyone recommend what we should use on our wooden doors to finish them- they were put in the the 1920's and now we've moved in we have had them dipped. What would be the best thing to put on them now so the wood is nourished? We don't want a glossy varnish on them, but want something...

Could anyone suggest the safest but easiest way to convert a child's single pine bed into one of those cabin/loft type beds? I'm sure it can't just be a matter of fixing wood stilts to the beds legs- could anyone suggest if it is possible? If so, what type and thickness of wood should we use...

Hi all- could you please recommend a really good quality indoor emulsion for using on plastered walls? Made the mistake of using B&Q own brand last time and had to do about 3 coats... not fun when it's hall, stairs and landing! Cheers :)

Hi- we had our hall, stairs and landing plastered over a month ago. We painted the whole lot with watered down white matt paint then left to dry. We then painted with B&Q own brand matt coloured paint, but the next day one area had peeled away- does anyone know why and what we can do to stop it...

Hi all again- if you've read my earlier 9.24 problem, have wired the boiler back to the old Programmer and now we have heating and water again BUT now back to the original problem. Water is working fine, heating also fine when it goes on but the only way we can get it to go on is to bang the...

Hi all- is the Worcester 9.24 Electronic combi boiler gravity fed or fully pumped? Cheers!

I posted this question in 'Central Heating' section too in the hope that someone out there will know the answer for certain! With the Switchmaster SM400 programmer, can you have the heating on 'timed' and the water on 'constant', or are both water and heating on the same setting the only option?

Does anyone know if you can have the heating on 'timed' and the water on 'constant' with this central heating programmer? Or do they both have to be on the same setting? If they are on the same setting, can you recommend which other Switchmaster would be suitable? Thanks all

I'm after some advice here! Had a new manufactured slate roof and velux windows fitted 4 years ago. A year later the same builder converted our loft, which is now the main bedroom. I noticed condensation dripping from the felt and asked a different roofer if he has any suggestions on how to get...
