Hi all, I'm looking for general advice how to approach this as I have a very annoying intermittent problem with our new boiler, fitted a fortnight ago. Just to describe the system, we've got a Vaillant Ecofit 425 and we had a Gledhill Stainless vented Cylinder fitted at the same time, it's a...

Hi all, long time lurker here I'm afraid :) My cold water tank (Ferham FRL50) has begun to fail, the struts on one side have come loose. I've been able to secure the upper metal tube with cable ties for now, but the lower L Shaped strut keeps popping out of it's channel. So it's got to go as...

Hi all, Just after some pointers please, I have an electrician via my Homecare agreement coming out tomorrow to have a look, as fiddling with electrics is well outside of my comfort zone. Essentially, when the shower is in use I can feel a mild tingling when in contact with the metal...

Hi all, I'm interested in your considered views of this installation and also thoughts on an issue. My mother-in-law had her conventional boiler replaced by a local fitter with a Gloworm Combi, I can't recall the model off hand, but if it's important will find out. Looking at the...

Just after a bit of guidance/confirmation really. I've got a Neff B1422N0GB/03 oven. On a whim we used the cleaning function, water in the bottom of the oven, switch it to auto-clean etc. Since then it has been tripping the RCD as it heats up. The rear element seems to heat up, but I...

Hi, Recently my Cardale door has become misaligned. It's a single up and over door, with a SEIP door opener attached to it. It's always worked fine until the last few weeks. When it is in the closed position the top left hand corner (as you look at the door from the outside) is fouling on...

Hi all, Our washing machine doesn't seem to want to do a spin when it's part of a wash cycle. It counts the time down correctly, goes through a wash but skips the spin cycle (which usually happens between 11 min left and 1 min left), at 1 minute left it just sits there moving the drum side...

Hi all, I'm planning to replace our existing open gas fire with an electric one, mostly for decorative reasons but also I like the idea of having different fuel sources in case of problems. I'd just like a bit of guidance on how much I should expect to pay to have the existing fire...

Hi all, My boiler stopped firing yesterday due to a seized fan - luckily we have BG Homecare so I've been able to get someone out to unseize it (which was naturally a fairly easy job when you see how!) The guy said that BG have the 60FF on a "restricted parts" list - he did say he was...

I couldn't see a topic like this one, so thought a new post was best. It's hard to describe in text, but when our heating is on, just after the boiler switches off and the pump over-runs there is a sloshing/glugging sound from what sounds like the pipes just above the boiler. Almost like...

I'm getting quote for replacing our windows and front door. I've found a reputable local firm, one of my neighbours used them and are extremely happy with them, unlike my other neighbour who used Anglian and had a nightmare! The firm I'm favouring use Bowater for their doors - I'm...

We just had a new tap fitted, Blanco Nelson Monobloc (pull out), nice tap but the hot side is really low pressure. The old tap was fine and every other tap in the house is fine too . I've managed to prove the hot pressure to the tap is fine, because when I remove the head from the tap by...
