My Mums house has a thin layer of white mold that attaches itself to doors, door frames, leather couches. Please see attached photos. It wipes off easy but comes back within a week or so. It's a Victorian terraced house and double glazed. Not a massive amount of ventilation as she is not a...

I have a bosch washing machine purchased in 2012 Exxcel 8 vario perfect, WAQ28461GB. Probably gets used on average once per day. Mostly full loads. Its worked fine for 5 years until this week when it stopped and E:45 fault appeared on display, which I think is a motor circuit fault. I cleared...

Please look at the 2 pictures. Hopefully you can tell that before I moved into this house an air brick was fitted but was left blocked internally. Maybe not obvious from the picture but I also have a damp.patch were the air brick is fitted. The damp.patch has only started or become...

Thats the problem I guess nowing who knows what they are talking about. Interestingly enough the youtube guy mentions peter cox and tanking. A surveyor from peter cox surveyed my house a while back and said it was rising damp in Pic2. Pic1 he said it was natural for damp to come into the house...

Never seen black mold anywhere in house. Not sure how to identify the salts.

Ok. So the first pic shows the lateral damp and garden wall through window. Damp is not rising from floor. No pipes by it, etc. Second pic shows example of rising damp. Spoiled paintwork,etc. Thanks

I currently have a small amount of rising damp and a small amount of what I would call lateral damp coming into my 1890 mid terraced house from a rear garden wall. I have had different advice off builders/damp proof specialists on the best way to deal with the damp. Guy number 1 wants to...

I live in a mid terrace victorian property built around 1890. The rear yard is enclosed with brick walls approx. 6ft high that join onto the rear of the house. Where the walls join onto the rear of the house I have damp patches on the internal walls that run inline with the garden wall...

Thanks for the advice boys. Never having done any brazing before and not competant to disturb combustion chamber will leave this one to the experts. Cheers Mark

My dad has a suprima 30 boiler in his kitchen and a boiler mate tank in the room above. The boiler has developed a small leak from the temperature sensor pocket. To be more specific the water drops are coming out of the hole the sensor goes into. The hole has a bit of white temp conducting...

Hi I have a large hallway which is currently wall papered with I suspect lining paper underneath. It's an old victorian house with the walls being a mixture of lathe and plaster, solid plaster, and some plaster board. I forsee a lot of work and crumbling walls if i remove all the...

Success. Fitted the new ZA5 zone valve on friday and did the S plan wiring on monday with the new room stat and a wiring centre. Everthing works fine, HW and CH controlled by cylinder stat and room stat respectively so boiler and pump actually switch off once stats are satisfied which was not...

Thanks for clearing that up. Will let you know how I got on but might not be for a couple of weeks yet. Cheers

Sorry I am missing something here, I was looking at the same plan. I can see three pipes leaving the boiler two cold ( blue ) and one hot ( red ). Incidently in my system the pump is next to the HW cylinder and is fed by the expansion tank in the attic ( I think, pipe certainly goes into...

Ok So I need to drain down system, replace CH valve ( can not remove acuator ) and rewire, refill, inhib, wire in roomstat,etc. I feel confident enough to do this after everyones help so thank you to all. One thing still bugging me though. What if the system is plumbed in such a...
