Just the bath tap drops in flow, others are all fine.

Hi all I was wondering if anyone can help me with an issue I have on my bath hot tap. I will try and be as detailed as I can. I recently fitted a set of rather expensive Crosswater "Mike Lever" deck mixer taps to my bath, and since fitting about 8 months ago I have noticed the hot flow...

Hi Hope someone can help me out here. I recently had a large set of 5 panel bifolds 'fitted' by my builder, who I subsequently gave the heave-ho to due to various failings. Anyway, the doors have been screwed in but not foamed or sealed. They have not been adjusted and I doubt the panes...

Hi Doing some gardening today in the front and decided to start to dig round a tree stump to see how deep it was, hoping to remove it. Went in digging with my spade and fork, and then hit the yellow gas service pipe which proceeded to leak like mad. The pipe is at the same level as my...

Brilliant - thanks everyone! I will run with the extension cord then!

Hi all Wonder if anyone can help me. My wife is adament that you cannot use a 4-way extension lead or those multi-point sockets in a shop/commerical environment. Is this the case? I am looking to rejig her shop and I need 4 sockets for various gear (till, scales etc) and I only have 2...

Can anyone help me out here...I have just spent the last hour trying to find somewhere that sells wooden pegboard. Does this stuff exist anymore anywhere in the UK coz the internet seems to suggest it will be easier trying to pin down Lord Lucan? I need a good supply for a shop refit I am doing...

Thanks for the responses. I know a good electrician who did some wiring in my house. I will get him to come round and take a look. I wouldn't mind having some of the light switches moved as well so I'll see what he says. The shop we have got is filthy and the wiring looks immaculately...

Hi My wife has recently purchased a shop and we're gutting it out at the moment for a refit. The fuse box/mains come in towards the front of the shop; however the water pipe is right at the back of the shop 3 rooms away. There is a G&Y earth wire connecting to the mains and running all the...

Hi everyone Could anyone advise on the best way to secure a 6ft tall run of bamboo/willow screening to an existing 6ft tall concrete post and wooden panel fence? Regards Jamie

No the wall is internal - its a north facing cavity wall, fitted with cavity wall insulation, and is cold to the touch most days. I treated the wall with bleach twice prior to decorating last year. There's no leaky gutter. If it were a damp-proof course issue should the bottom section of...

Hi I wonder if anyone can help me with this one... About 12 months ago, having had enough of black mould appearing on a cold internal wall which attracted condensation, I stripped the wallpaper (which was thin paper), painted the bare plaster it with anti-condensation paint, then papered...

Thanks guys I understand that the thermistors can be an issue on Ravenheat's generally. I noticed something else which may/may not be connected with this. The user manual states that this boiler will operate at a temperature of between 40 and 85 degrees on CH mode. On my boiler the digital...

Thanks Mick One thing though - the problem persists if I have a shower prior to the heating coming on. If the pump is cold in the morning, then running the HW on the shower for 10 mins or so should get it working and warm it up prior to the heating coming on, yet after doing this it still...

Hi everyone I have a Ravenheat Condensing Combi (CSI 120 Low Nox) which appears to be doing something rather strange. When the CH has not been on for a while (e.g. overnight) the timer / themostat kicks in as usual in the morning, and the boiler commences it fire up. The boiler runs for...

Hi everyone. Update from last post. I drained and flushed the system twice yesterday and refilled to ensure all the Fernox gear was out of the circuit. Bled the radiators and let the system run for a while. Noticed boiler noise is louder than ever now (I'm sure next door can hear it too...

Ok guys thanks for the help up to now. I got a Corgi Heating Engineer out who is a friend of the family who tested the gas pressures - no problem there. He tested something else (not sure) with some kind of instrument and said no problem there either. Somewhat foxed, he rang Ravenheat's...

The 12 rads are well within max BTU outputs for the boiler as most are small. No pressure problems as far as I know with CH or DHW. Bypass is a gate valve which is closed off as none of the rads have TRVs fitted. The current setup on the rads is they are all fully balanced - the noise and...

Ok will have a look at the DHW heat exchanger this week if I can and see if this needs attention. I have noticed that over the past fortnight the overheat reset button has popped out twice for no real reason - once running HW and once on CH startup in the morning. Both times nothing had been...

Well, I changed the thermistor on the CH, refilled and bled system and there is no change to the situation. Wasn't a complete waste of time as stripping the boiler casing down revealed a small leak on the diverter valve nut which had a perished seal, now replaced :D . Any other suggestions...
