Morning, Help please! Does anyone know why my shower drain would be slower after 1 shower? During the second shower of the morning the water begins to gather in the shower tray. This has happened for a number of months. I did get a plunger to see if that makes a difference, I do this at...

I've been trying to help a friend with their electric shower but cannot find the solution to the electric shower not working. I started with the fuse which was fine. Next I looked at the shower unit and there was only 5V on the supply side of the shower. Next I tried the shower pull switch...

Hi, A family member has a Worcester Greenstar Ri boiler with simple on / off controls and no room thermostat. I have a Honeywell CM927 with a combi boiler and advised she should get this. Is the CM927 compatible? Take it she would need to keep the current controls and leave the CH on all...

I have a Viessmann Vitodens 100 and the hot water takes ages to come through. I've asked on here previously but done some more tests myself. This morning the display temperature was at 46 deg C before I turned on the hot water. As soon as I turned the tap on, the boiler fired up, slowly and...

I have a Viessman boiler that was installed around a year and a half ago and is now overdue the service. I called the installer who advised a price of £78. I am also getting a new bathroom in just now and the plumber said he would do it for £35 and is Gas Safe registered. Do I have to...

I currently have 100mm or so of loft insulation which is level with the current joists. On top of the joists I have some boards used purely for storage of some light boxes. I have Miller Pattison coming round next Monday to top up the insulation to over 270mm I think it is. Before they...

I have a problem with my Triton Opal II 10.5kW electric shower. The temperature isn’t constant, it seems to vary in a similar way to a sinusoidal wave. It goes from lukewarm to hot every few seconds. After further investigation, I took the shower head off and it seems to be linked to the...

My girlfriends heating has packed up today. The system is gravity fed from a tank in the loft. When we put the CH heating on via the programmer the boiler fired up for a minute or so and went off. The pump was making a funny noise then. The pipe between the boiler and the pump was really hot...
