I have got a lean-to conservatory on one side of the house. There are a couple of water leaks from where it joins to the wall it has been installed against. I suppose the easiest repair is to get some crawling boards onto the roof and reseal between conservatory and roof. It is about 5m long...

Hello. I have been thinking about installing a system where the TRV's on radiators can be replaced by wirelessly operated valves from a remote control panel, so that radiators in rooms that aren't used frequently can be controlled in operation more precisely. I believe Honeywell are...

Hello. I have a cold radiator with a Drayton TRV fitted, not one of the current type (TRV4). I have taken the head off, leacing a black plastic adaptor piece that very much looks like a tap hosepipe adaptor left on the valve body, presumably concealing the pin, that I'm hoping is stuck. How...

Hello. I have a shower cubicle upstairs that is glass paneled on two sides. The panes of glass are fitted into aluminium extrusions. One of the corner extrusions doesn't fit flush with the shower base, it is about 0.25in too high, leaving an unsightly gap that needs filling with sealant. I'm...

The ELCB protecting the Distribution Board that powers our Baxi 105E has started tripping quite frequently. Mostly when the boiler is off, but occasionally when on. (Mainly by virtue that it is off more often than on!) If it trips when on, and the flame on symbol is showing on the room stat...

Hello, it's that time of year again, although I did notice this problem last time we had the heating on before summer. The three radiators in the living room, at the furthest end of the house from the Baxi Combi boiler, don't get warm. The one I can easily get to at the moment..the pipe to the...

In contrast to problems that I had with this shower a few years ago, and what most people seem to have as well, this time, I can't get any cold water out of it! I suspect it is the thermostatic valve not pulling cold water through. Has anybody else had this problem? Is it repairable or not...

Hello. We have a hardwood conservatory with double glazing. One of the panels in the door has almost an inch of water in the bottom of it. Is there any way of getting this out? Thanks.

Hello. I had to cut a couple of small..fist sized holes in a plaster boarded ceiling to get to some electrical connections. They are actually in the apex of a bathroom in a loft area conversion. Is there something I can get to fit inside the hole to provide a solid surface to plaster or fill...

I have 10 spotlights in a bathroom. When removed, all are connected to choc block connectors, 3 strips per block. Of the 10 cb connectors, two have only one twin and earth cable connected, so presumably are at the end of a pareallel circuit. 7 of the connectors have two twin and earths...

How do you disconnect and change the return hose on a Hotpoint SDL510 dishwasher please? It appears to go in through a white plastic cover, underneath the water connection.. Thanks

The ground floor radiators in the living room furthest away from the boiler, are hardly aired whilst those nearest the boiler seem hot enough. There is also an occasional knocking noise from the system. I suspected low pressure or a pump fault, but it seems OK. The living room radiators...

Hello, if anybody can advise please. In our bathroom we have a network of 10 recessed spotlights in the ceiling, a shaver socket and an illuminated mirror. It started a couple of nights ago, that if the bathroom lights were switched on, they would trip, not back at the MCB on the relevant DB...

I am getting poor hot water from my Baxi 105e (hot at first then dies away). I have checked the gauze filter on the cold water inlet, that was OK. Went to change the DHW diaphragm last night, but I had the wrong one (possibly from an Instant - they look smaller) so a correct one on order...

Where would any inlet filters be for a trevi therm shower? I fitted a new valve less than three years ago but it has never been any good. Come to think of it, neither has the bath in the same room. What could I be looking for? Are there any filters on the hot water outlet of a Baxi Combi...

I have a couple of double radiators that refuse to get hot. The pipe to the radiator is hot. The valve is open. The T-piece connection between the two radiator shells is hot. The first verticall ducting on the radiator is getting warm and the top of the rad is warm, but the bottom of the...

We have one of these in a bathroom. Every now and then it sticks, and all the water flowing in to the cistern runs straight through into the toilet bowl. I can usually get it to work by turning the water off for a while, disconnect and reconnect the pneumatic flush button and then refill...

The boiler went out showing flame failure and it won't reset. Although we have a remote "Think Tank" level sensor which supposedly gets a delivery sorted before the tank is empty - the gauge shows zero. Boiler (Baxi Combi 105) only servived last month. Is flame failure stating the blinking...

How do I take the front cover off a Baxi 105E to get to the DHW diaphragm valve? The large panel appears to be hooked over two pins at the top, but what else do I remove to release it? Thanks

This looks like a regular problem from what I've seen on here. Our Baxi 105e heats downstairs DHW to over 55deg C but upstairs is only about 32deg C. Very surprising as both are teed together from presumably a common outlet. The boiler is downstairs in an attached garage. From what I've seen...
