The boiler will not always fire up to provide h/w and c/h when asked. The digital control (wired) in the kitchen does appear to be working fine as it is asking when 'asked' for the c/h to fire up. The timer on the boiler also works fine. When a hot tap is turned on the majority of the...

Originally my marble flooring had a great shine to it. Now it has been down a year it has a horrible dullness to it. What cleaning fluid can I use to get the shine back?
