cold

I have a Mira Jump Shower. The other day I noticed it goes hot even when the switch is set to cold. The only way to get it to cold is to put it on Eco setting. New thermostat needed, switch or new shower?

Hello. I've been checking this forum for answers and seen a few helpful posts, but nothing seems to solve my issue. This year we bought and renovated an old council home built in the 1940s. After a ridiculous amount of money and lots of debt we have moved in. A month later and I find the...

Hello, I have been scouring the forums for help with my issue. With nothing working I thought I had better post to see what else people can come up with. We moved into a large house in the summer. It was built in 1901 with stone walls. The CH system is likly to have been installed in the late...

Hi I have a top floor bedroom where where at the external corner of the house there is a cold spot and where mould keeps forming. See the thermal image here. How are cavities formed around corners? Any ideas of the next step ? I don't think I can get a camera down the wall cavity that has the...

Hi all, We moved into our house earlier this year in March, and at the time we obviously had the heating on. However, at times when the heating wasn't on, I noticed that our two storey extension (one large lounge, one hallway with skylight and stairs, and one bedroom) was absolutely freezing...

We’ve an open plan kitchen/diner/social space, that, as you can see, has a lot of glass. It carries the same thermal delights as a conservatory. Scorchio in summer, freezing in winter. It measures about 8x8m. The area has WarmUp UFH covering it, but I’d have to sell a body part to fund...

We have a no cavity Victorian semi which we have always had a problem with cold outside walls attracting condensation. The inside of the wardrobe cupboard wall facing outside is pretty wet, making clothes damp and leading to mould. Ditto for bedroom wall. Having a log burner installed, warming...

I am running a cold water feed to my shed, about 10m from the house. The house already has a cold water tap on the outside, and I intend to plumb into it (keeping the tap for garden work) but having a permanent feed to the shed. I am digging a trench to the required depth (~750mm) but within...

Just looking for some advice, we have a detached home built in the late 90’s that has both cavity wall and loft insulation and a mix of single and double radiators. The boiler was replaced 4 years ago. The South West corner bedroom is exceptionally cold in cooler weather and exceptionally warm...

So we have a conventional boiler and CH system and recently (last week or so) I've noticed it getting worse at heating the downstairs radiators. For a bit of potentially useful background - In November I added a rad in our basement and balanced the system after that things were working mostly...

Hey all, House is around 5yrs old and whilst up fitting christmas lights a few months ago I noticed some pretty big gaps and poor sealant around my 1st floor windows. The windows are always cold, when windy you can feel wind and the cold air from them so I want to solve this. Photo attached...

Hello, I’m after some advice. I swapped 5 radiators in our home, 3 upstairs to new single panel ones and 2 downstairs to double panel ones. The rads upstairs and downstairs get very hot except the 2 new double panel rads. The flow pipe gets very hot but the return pipes are just cold. The...

Hello, I hope everyone is well. I am having some issues with my Creda Digimix Shower. It works but it is not reaching the correct temperature. For example, the range is 1-9 with a L and H setting. The normal range has always been 5/6 and this produces hot water. However, recently any setting...

Hi, We have recently had a loft conversion completed but since winter began, the loft has been getting colder and colder to the point where it is not liveable. The temperature is getting to around 9°C overnight (sometimes worse). I have opened up a section of the ceiling space along the dormer...

Just moved in to a 1950 build house and was hoping someone could give some advice. I’m a long time reader of the forum but this is my first post! I’ve started working on a room in the house which I believe used to be the garage - which has been converted into a room attached to the house at...

I moved into a new build around 18 months ago, and I consider myself a competent DIYer. Before I ask the builder to come and look at my plumbing I wanted to get some opinion on an odd issue we've been having. Our showers don't get hot (we've got two of them). It was most noticeable (probably...
