Hi, This is a little off topic, but I was wondering if I'm going to run into problems if I leave my loft hatch ajar in summer? It takes the heat away from our bedroom, and really makes a huge difference to our comfort at night, but I'm confused as to whether I'm going to get condensation...

Hi All, I'm struggling to think of the best way to terminate a condensate pipe for a new boiler I want installed. I've looked into digging a soakaway (real pain as it'd next to the driveway which is tarmac over concrete) and using a pump but the nearest gutter is quite a run away and the...

Hi All, I'm looking to get a condensing boiler installed but the current location is nowhere near a drain point etc. Building a soakaway would be a pain as the pipe would exit straight into the driveway, so would it be possible/legal to install a condensate pump and pump vertically to the...

Hi All, My push button toilet recently began to overflow down the pan (via D). I took the lid off and tightened screw A which resolved this (see image below). As I had the lid off I thought I'd troubleshoot the long standing problem of it taking 10 minutes to refill enough for another...

Hi All, I've just had a blocked cold feed remedied (cut out and replaced with plastic pipe for some reason). With that done, I still have an issue with my boiler (Potterton profile 60e serving 11 radiators) cycling whilst heating the system. Once the room stat is satisfied it turns off as...

Hi, I hope this is an easy question! Having fixed a few problems with my Potterton Profile 60e I'm wondering why it cycles on and off. It will run for a minute or two, shut itself off, then fire up again in another couple of minutes. This goes on and on. Do I have the boiler thermostat...

Hi All, When I try to bleed my pump (running or not) I don't get a hiss of air, or a drip of water. Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it? Cheers, Andy

Hi All, When my heating/water is on, my boiler seems to run for multiple short periods at a time...on...off...on...off. Is that normal? I have the boiler stat turned to max and the pump also set to max. My thinking is that this should heat the house up quicker. Does it sounds like the...

Hi All, My Potterton Profile 60e seems to ignite fine when heat is called for, then randomly it will start clicking wildly (like the igniter is firing) and then the flame will cut out. Any ideas what this may be? Is it something I could try and fix myself? Cheers, Andy

Hi (again) all! It seem that an elbow joint on my soil pipe, just before where it vents to the environment in the loft is dripping. It's only a few drips a minute, doesn't smell bad, and everything is flushing/emptying at full pace, so I'm assuming it's just condensation or rainwater etc...

Hi All, I've search and searched this site, and found lots of good information, but I have a few specifics about my particular problem if you have the time to answer... A plumber just came and fitted an automatic 3 way valve in place of a manual one for me. To do this he drained the...
