The lock on our upvc door is starting to play up. The first thing that went was the latch spring (?) on the top part then yesterday it was hard to turn the key to lock/unlock. Am I right in saying that what I need to do first is to remove the upright metal strip that runs up the door then...

Thanks all for your replies. I'll try and get in there but I do think it's caused by lack of air flow in the loft. One part of the house has vents in the soffits and the other hasn't. I'll get onto it and come back here to update.

I really wasn't sure which section to post this so excuse me and apologies to the mods if it needs moving into a another section. I noticed the artex peeling off the lounge ceiling over the winter in different locations but all on the same side of the house. I've taken these pictures. In the...

System all up and running. A massive thank you for your help guys :cool:

Ok thanks and I'll do the route that Ian has said. Hopefully one last question. I noticed in the other topic that it shows 5 wires going into the hive. I can account for four that are on my current towerstat. What's the score with the green/yellow or will that be a case of having a loop wire on...

Well slight change of plan today as I was going to change the towerstat for the Horstmann. The reason for the change was simply because my wife prefers the idea of using the Hive (via phone, alexa, tablet) with the added bonus that the Hive programmer will do increments of 15 minutes whereas the...

Thanks for your replies. I joined the black wires together and it kicks into life and heats up :giggle: This is the one I bought: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00NJSVD4M?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I did think of getting a Hive one purely for the ability to use via my phone...

I was hoping to get it resolved today having taken delivery of a replacement set up but it wasn't meant to be. The one I ordered wasn't integrated nor is it a replacement plug 'n play. This is the wiring on the back of the towerstat. The face of the front of the boiler a couple of posts up...

Many thanks for your reply Ian. I'll get it changed and come back with an update.

Thanks for your replies. I have noticed since last posting that when the CH comes on via the timer or put on manually that the boiler won't fire up but it will make a noise like the pump is running. The one thing I find odd is that when I put the boiler on high fire (or whatever the correct...

A little while ago I noticed my CH wasn't coming on when it was programmed to, nor would it come on when turned on manually but pretty sure the pump was still running. It would work more often than not so it wasn't a major concern then. Hot water side is fine and will always deliver hot water...

Looking to change the existing Towerstat RF wall fixed temp controller as it will only turn the heating on/off in increments of one hour. Ideally we could with coming on at say 6.45 then off at 7.35 or something like that but greater variation than just an hour. I've been looking at smart...

The sound of water going through the system and hissing made me think at first it was a leaking pipe, so I turned the water supply off at the main inside stopcock. It was only when I realised there was no hot water coming out of any of the usual taps (when I turned the supply back on and no...

On a Baxi duo tec 33 boiler. I pulled up a site search but couldn't find anything else with the exact same problem. The heating works fine but there is no hot water at all. All the lights illuminate as normal and there are no error codes at all. I thought a pipe had burst at first but...

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. I need a mounting plate for a HSA6400. The current one has one of the two plastic protruding knobs missing (snapped off). I've emailed Yale directly but they haven't replied. Any ides where to get one or how to get around it? Also, as I took the control...

Is there anywhere that does a 100mm to 75mm pan connector? I need the 75mm for the cast soil pipe end. Got rid of most of the old cast pipe but the inner that joins the soil pipe now won't budge. I don't want to take a chance hitting it with a hammer and chisel to widen it to 100mm in case...

Any suggestions?

No, the upstairs cable has already been channeled an now installed. It was in lieu of another camera which I replaced yesterday. All I need to do is drill a hole through the brickwork to get the camera mounted outside. That's no big deal, when I get my ladders back. The downstairs is prefered...

I bought this yesterday:- http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?moduleno=224315 I took it back 5 minutes after setting it up. The picture quality was very poor and it was B&W more than colour! I also bought this for another area of the house:-...

This was going to be my next question :D As for the busty blonde? She's already in my house :wink:
