I posted in December but no-one could answer my query. I have a pump plan set on speed 1 for HW and 2 for CH. The CH pump makes a very strange noise - a sort of quiet howling? When the HW pump is running too the noise is not too bad but it is very noticeable on CH only. I tried setting...

Had pump plan fitted so now got pumped CH and DHW. Pump is quite noisy (its on 2 for CH - was 3 to start with) but also when it comes on for CH there is a sound of rushing water through the pipes surrounding it and then gurgling in the bathroom towel rail. The top rail fills with air over...

Having spent a lot of time worrying, asking questions, having a new cylinder and now changing the pipework and having new pumps fitted I think that I have just realised what my original problem was. I had gravity HW and pumped CH. Every now and again when the CH clicked off there would be an...

I have had a lot of problems with severe pumping over and so have had my system changed from gravity fed HW and pumped heating to both of them being pumped using the above. This is now situated in the airing cupboard rather than by the boiler - not sure why. The HW pump is on 1 and the...

I have a gravity fed system with a potterton 60e profile which replaced a baxi about 4 years ago. The pump used to be inside the boiler now it is next to it as all the pipework wouldnt fit in it. It was an emergency replacement as the old boiler packed up. I think that since the new boiler...

Have a Potterton Profile 60e boiler fitted in 2003. It has always been a bit noisy. Had a new bathroom fitted in 2005. Bathroom radiator that used to act as a bypass no longer does so but am sure the pipes were only rerouted for new ladder radiator and not changed at all. Had periodic...

Can anyone give me a ball park figure for a reasonable cost of a brick wall about 30 foot wide and a couple of foot high. Ive been quoted £1k and that sounds steep to me. Thanks.

We have just applied a watered down undercoat onto walls that were plastered a few weeks ago. The paint does not seem to have been absorbed in places and I have painted two coats of a colour over a patch to see what happens. You can still see a dark patch underneath. We filled any holes...

I am going to replace my towel radiator with a vertical one which is the same size and has the same width between the pipes but gives out more heat. It fixes in much the same way as a towel radiator. Will I have to drain the system down or can I get away without having to do this. I have...

Having learnt the hard way that a towel warmer is nowhere near as good as an old fashioned radiator I now need to replace mine. I am left with limited options though as I have pipes through the wall 450mm apart. There are products out there that are 500mm by 1800 and seem to give out...

I have just had a mini argument with my husband as it has dawned on me that since we have not needed any heating in the hot weather our bathroom radiator is always cold. This may not seem odd but I am convinced that before we had it replaced by the current towel rail model it was always warm if...

I have noticed that whenever the toilet lid is left down for any period of time there is an unpleasant smell in the bathroom but when I lift the lid the toilet itself does not really seem to smell. Anybody any ideas about this. On one occasion there was a bit of a smell coming from the...

We have had our bathroom suite for just over a year and fairly recently I have noticed a banging in the pipes shortly after the basin taps (ceramic mixer) are turned on. Tends to be with the hot but the cold causes bangs too. Tends to be when taps are on relatively full and only when they have...
