Hi, Not been on here since you guys offered some excellent advice re: the boiler in my previous place. Now live in a 3 year old house and we have the ICOS HE12 boiler which serves us for CH and HW (not a combi type boiler). I've started having an issue where the pump is continuing to run...

Hi all, Neighbour has noticed a small 'fountain' of water eminating about 4" above ground on his side and against the wall of my building. We isolated our stopcocks in turn but didn't have any effect. Isolated the street taps in turn and isolating mine stopped the flow. Assuming the...

Hi, This boiler is killing me! I've had several problems with it over the last couple of years but I've been able to resolve and repair these (on several occasions due to the great advice on this forum). Current problem: Lock out lamp coming on every couple of hours whether using CH...

CH has developed a knocking at one of my downstairs rads. If I turn to TRV down a little, it stops buts comes back after a while. I did read somewhere that this can be caused by a TRV being installed on the flow instead of the return (or vice versa), I can't remember but I'm sure my TRVs...

Hi, I'm looking to have my hall, stairs, and landing carpeted. I understand the need to make sure I use concrete or wood grippers (nail types) for the correct surface but I have a question on placement of grippers. I'm ok with the stairs and landing but my hallway is tiled and the...

Hi all, Anyone got any ideas on how to tackle this (see images)? I need to put in a boundary fence this summer and I think this will need more than a quick strim! Can anyone suggest the best method/tool to cut this back? Thanks.

Hi, Been on here before and Agile and Chris R were awesome for help. Problem: Leak from inside the boiler. Looked like it was on the incoming water supply but I soon realised it was coming from the heat exchanger (just behind water incomer, on dhw side). Removed HE and found gasket had...

Hi all, I guess this is a common one? Chris R and Agile were extremely helpful when I had problems like this before. That time it was to do debris in the system. Problem: low temp dhw. Boiler fires up ok and stays on for around 30secs, off for 30secs, on for 30secs, etc, etc. CH fine...

Hi, I've laid natural stone tiles in my hallway and did the usual clean up of grout film but I have to admit to some sloppier work when I had to regrout some of the gaps which has left thick grout residue at the edges and in the 'pores' of the tiles. To be honest, I did this the night before I...

After pulling my hair out and getting nowhere, these two guys supplied me with the info I needed to get it done. An extra thank you to Tony who stuck with it and enabled me to get the correct part, fit it and solve the problem in quick time. 4 kids and no hot water is a bad combination but now...

Hi Guys, I seem to have quite a common fault if the number of posts are anything to go by. Firstly let me state that I consider myself to be a competent DIYer and I am an electrician by trade so I'm not averse to a bit of tinkering but I know my limitations. And so the fault... 1. No...
