At the moment I have an old central heating boiler (that needs replacing) and a water heater that supplies hot water. I am going to buy a new condensing boiler (possibly a Vaillant), but I am not sure whether to replace both with a combi boiler, or to keep my water heater, and buy a regular...

I just fitted a new sink and tap (Danube), both made by Franke. The only problem is that the tap seems to produce alot of splashing. I have a multi-point that supplies the hot water, so the pressure has to be a certain level. Is there any way around this and is there a special attachment that...

I have an old Servowarm Elite boiler. The thermal reset switch needs changing. Does anyone know where I can can get one from ?

I need to replace a fence post that has been concreted-in. I'm hoping that I can remove it, by digging around the concrete. Assuming that I am able to do that, I'm wondering what would be the best way to fit a new one. Is it best to concrete-in directly, or to use one of those metal inserts ...

My front door on my porch seems to have moved slightly, and is no longer sitting 'squarely' on it's frame. Consequently, the door is not shutting propertly and intereferes with the frame when I shut the door. The bottom-right of the door is sitting tight on the frame and the top-right has a...

I rent out a property and I have been advised that I should connect a 10mm earth bond between the gas meter pipe and the earth terminal at my electric meter. Can someone advise me the best place to buy an earth-bonding kit for this job.

I have disturbed the bayonet fitting on my gas cooker and there is a VERY slight leak, seems to be coming up the thread where the bayonet fits on to my supply pipe. I know that a I should really call the Corgi man, but I'm considering re-sealing it myself. I noticed that when it was...

One of my ignition electrodes has broken (the china has cracked) on my gas cooker. This is the type that is seperate to the burner and unscrews. I am in the UK. Does anyone know the best place to order a new one from ?

My Corgi man tells me that I must install an earth bond between the output pipe of my gas meter and the earth block in my fusebox. Could someone tell me what type of wire I should use (6mm or 10mm) ? Also, if I buy a kit, where is the best place to buy from ? Thanks in advance !

I really don't know too much about central heating, so this could be an easy one to answer (I hope !). My Old Servowarm boiler has been working fine until recently. When I tried to start it up last week though, it didn't want to fire up. The pilot light is on and the pump pushes the water...

Hi, My old Servowarm Elite boiler was working fine until I switched off the gas. After switching on again, I went throught the procedure of holding the button in for 10 seconds after striking the flame, but the pilot would not stay on. Suspecting the thermocouple, I changed it, but am still...
