Thanks for that reply. I will ask the carpet fitter what method would suit him I just assumed fitting something like gaffer tape would hold the tiles in place and minimize disturbance when the grippers are fitted John

Hi, I have recently bought a bungalow and am decorating throughout before I move in. Once I removed the old carpets I found the floors are covered with thin tiles (about 2 mm thick ) A few of these tiles cracked when the carpet grippers were removed. A builder pointed out to me there was a...

Hi, thanks again for the replies, My son is using the house exactly as his previous house and he had no problems there. Strangely though my son rang me yesterday and said the loft is now dry. I will keep you posted if the problem returns, cheers everyone John

No, nothing different from his previous house and no problems there. John

Hi again, Thanks for the replies, I dont think I explained fully, the bathroom do not vent air into the loft directly but via a pipe/plastic ducting, and then through loft and out of roof, I just thought maybe the warm pipe in a cold loft might cause the condensation. There are no water...

Hi, my son recently bought a 3 bedroom semi detached house which is only about 3 years old. The surveyor noticed a small amount of condensation in the loft and suggested the loft floor boards are removed ( only about one third of the loft is boarded ) Recently my son noticed the condensation...

Thanks for that, there is a screwfix nearby, I will give them a look John

Hi, Im in the process of tidying up my property prior to selling. Knowing that first impressions are important Im keen to improve the look of the concrete path to the front door. At the moment it consists of two types and shades of concrete. Does anyone know of a durable outdoor paint...

Thanks for that Twgas, will report back when Paul the corgi man has checked it out

Hi, thanks for that, we dont intend to meddle with anything, its just that my son has a gas valve on order that we probably dont need and we still have time to cancel if its likely to be ignition related. Is it possible to see the spark without dismantling anything safety related. thanks, John

Hi, my son is having problems with his Potterton pro max He 24 not firing up. A gas fitter visited but the boiler decided to work ok ( sods law ) charged £45 and suggested it may be a faulty gas valve. Needless to say the boiler has now stopped working but we now think the ignition module...

thanks for the replies! I know you cant give advice as it is a gas installation but I'm just curious to know if the clicking sound can occur even if the electrodes are not sparking. If only the electrodes sparking can create the clicking sound, I'll know that it is more likely the gas valve and...

Hello everyone Our Baxi Potterton Promax Combi 24 HE Plus A combination boiler does not fire up. When there's a call for heat, the fan comes on and there is a clicking sound at irregular intervals up until around 10 seconds then the fault code E133 appears. The manual seems to point to the...

Hi thanks for those replies, I do have a manual for it somewhere but its vanished from where it should be. Can anyone briefly explain what needs to be done to either free up or replace valve, Thanks again

Hi, thought it only had 1 valve, in the past it always filled by opening the one mentioned and if there are 2 valves I`m sure no-one has touched the other one.

Hi, I have a glow worm 24 ci combi boiler and recently opened the valve on a radiator that hasn`t been used for a good while ( spare bedroom) .A while later the boiler shut down with red fault light ( not sure if f2 or f4 ). After switching off at the plug then on again all was ok ( green...

Hi again, Thanks for the reply, the noise is a groaning sound as the toilet flushes. once it is empty and starts to refill the noise goes away. John

Hi just recently, after flushing the toilet a loud noise which I assume is air in the system can be heard. This noise doesn`t appear though when using either hot or cold taps. I have tried turning the tap down at main inlet to the house to reduce pressure and this has helped reduce the noise...

Thanks everyone for those replies, I didn`t really fancy stripping the old paint off.

Thanks for that Joe 90, I`ll turn the radiator back on and see how it goes
