    Coving Disaster!! Anything We Can Do?

    We were warned not to bother removing the coving in a 4 x 6m living room but it is very large, not in keeping and ugly, we hate it Iso much we tried to remove it and we've found that it appears to be hand moulded directly onto wall/ceiling (circa 1960?), so there is practically no void behind it...

    Free Standing Gas Stove - Is Register Plate Required?

    So the gas fitter basically said the chimney was not usable at all, not even to stand the stove closer to the chiney breast. Usable only to connect the flue to it, but we have no idea 1) if that is correct advice 2) how it will look the way he says it will be installed. The diagram he refers...

    Free Standing Gas Stove - Is Register Plate Required?

    I would really appreciate some advice before we let our gas fitter in to connect up our new Yeomans CL5 gas stove. He is HETAS certified but has not given us totally accurate advice so far (regarding the hearth). Our chimney was a strange diagonal design which is apparently used occasionally to...

    British Gas Hive Active Heating

    I don't think you understand how Hive works.... You are definitely wrong about getting binned when the novelty wears off - You obviously think that Google would pay $2 BILLION for a company that make a very similar device to Hive, and will just bin it off soon. How soon you think...

    British Gas Hive Active Heating

    Thanks Andy. I could and i have looked at those before, but they cost about £150 retail, so plus labour for me, and it has an annoying feature that means we would need to access the boiler to change the timer, whereas at present the wireless timer/thermostat is a single unit, with only a...

    Combi Boiler Pressure Too High *When On*

    Boiler not firing for CH, but hot water is fine
