Hi all. Fitted my hive a few years back, but only to the heating side of things. After a lot of testing, it's clear that the boilermate is more efficient when it is only heated when needed. Though the summer I set the timer for a couple of hours each morning and this leaves plenty of water for...

I'm looking to get rid of a shower, redoing bathroom and decided it's no longer needed. Unfortunately when it was fitted about 5 years back, it looks like the guy that fitted it didn't bother to fit isolation valves so can anyone advise what I need to buy to cap this, unsure of the pipe size etc.

Hi all. There been a few break-ins by us recently so i thought it would be a good idea to replace the budget cylinder in the door with a decent anti snap one. I removed it to measure, however in doing so, the bottom deadlock no longer seems to be operating. I'm hoping that it's just slipped...

Hi, Bit of a long shot but can anyone identify the tap in the attached picture so I can work out what valve I need to buy for it? The hot side is constantly dripping. Took off the bath panel expecting to find an isolating screw thingy but Persimmon were evidently too stingy to fit one when...

Hi, We have an Ariston ACO combi and today when it's piddled it down, water is coming in through the flue. It's dripping out where the flue joins together with another piece on the horizontal part. Can't take a pic as camera battery is flat unfortunately but it's the standard flue, goes up...

Any ideas if there are any wireless stats available like the Drayton Digistat 3 but with a child lock feature built in? Fed up of people putting the heating up to full all the time. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Have got a Hotpoint WD63 that won't drain, although I'm fairly sure it isn't due to a blockage. I say that because two weeks ago I removed a sock, coint etc from the drain sump as it had been draining really slow - had to be put on spin about 10 times to get it to empty. Having had...

Just a quick question, are these a standard size? Ours has managed to cross thread itself so when you flush it, it just starts flapping about. Assuming they are a standard size, will somewhere like B&Q sell them (just the levery part and the thing it screws into)?

My hotpoint WD63 decided to stop working, was a bit bored so decided to start taking it apart, anyway rather foolishy I removed the two screws on the white plastic where the door catch goes into. It seems that whatever was behind the screws has dropped down into the machine, so now I'm left...

Had my car services last week, had a few parts replaced (near side wishbone brakes etc). Anyway when that was all done I went away happy in the knowledge car would pass it's MOT which I was having done just over a week later. Was observed I had a bald n/s front tyre so went and got it...

Our old Ariston Eurocombi has sadly passed away, have got a couple of quotes to replace it and was wondering which of the following boilers would be better if anyone has any experience of them? Ariston Aco combi 32 or Vaillant ecomax 835 E Thanks in advance.
