gas

I have been trying to get hold of the building regulations compliance certificate of the boiler installer. I also have a problem in that the installation benchmark form has not been filled out. The boiler was installed from the previous house owner in 2014. After tracking down the installer they...

I had a dripping water pipe. It was in a cramped space, so I needed to temporarily remove an adjacent pipe to adjust it. The next-door pipe looked exactly the same - however, when I loosened the isolator-valve connector, it was obvious it was a gas pipe, not a water pipe. I quickly tightened...

I don't need a gas fire as I have a lovely log burner, but was just wondering how many gas fires on the market support conventional hard wired thermostats as in the type you use with central heating systems? All of the gas fires I have had a previous places I have lived have been very basic...

I am currently in the process of having a new Greenstar CDi Classic boiler fitted and would be grateful if someone could help me with technical question. The distance between the gas meter and my boiler (in my kitchen) is between 11 and 12 meters. The gas supply also feeds my oven hob. Will my...

I am looking at a 12Kw FireFly gas patio heater from Primrose, and just wondering how long will they run for on average based on a Full 13KG Propane bottle with a 12Kw burner on it's highest setting? How does the efficiency compare electric patio heaters? Reagrds: Elliott.

My son has just brought a flat with a recently refurbished kitchen and I noticed that the gas hob has been connected using one of those short lengths of bendy (corrugated ) copper pipes between the hob connection and a gas isolation valve. The installation looks quite neat and professional, with...

Before we bought our new place we were renting. We had asked the landlord permission to drill above the fireplace to hang a mirror; it was his old house and we were on good terms with him so no problem. Well, that's what I thought. Measured up where we needed to put the two screws. It was a...

Hi. New member here. I bought a flat last year, in a converted pub on a very long lease. The developer went bust and the conversion was finished by contractors working for the new freeholders - a firm of solicitors. The development began in 2015. The main pub building has been split into three...

I've got a prime case of Gas Safe pointing to Building Regs and Building Regs pointing to Gas Safe. And a gas fitter (and me) stuck in the middle. I have a domestic combi boiler, fitted donkey's years ago. The flue went out through our wall that is alongside the neighbour's garden. It vents...

Hi everyone i realise this is an old thread but I have a similar issue....my combo goes on and off every few seconds....i have got 1.5 water pressure and I have already taken off the heat exchanger and cleaned it...when I set the boiler to just DHW nothing at all happens....when i set it...

have a dated gas boiler, which heats the central heating AND hot water (works fine BTW). Unfortunately the flue exits approx. waist height, straight out into the path of my workshop door. Sending hot air (not a bad thing when its cold) and fumes (not a good thing at all!) when it kicks in early...

Hi , Can someone help me with my main Medway super. The problem is that I had a water leak which I've fixed by putting a new push rod O ring. But now I'm having another problem with a small gas leak just under the burner where the pin is , it lights up when the pilot is on and causes a small...

Our Ideal ICOS HE24 gas boiler sometimes (about once a day) makes a loud noise when it stops heating, and it sounds mechanical, as in a bang. I'm guessing it's either the fan or the gas valve - probably the fan - perhaps a bad bearing? Are there any known problems of this nature with this...

My gas valve failed completely so I replaced it (after only 34 years!) with a 'seller-refurbished' one. That also wouldn't open so the seller sent me another - and that didn't open either! So I bought a new one (old stock) and fitted it - and that doesn't open either! I also gave it a tap when...

Hi all, I'm at my wits end after a week of boiler woes. Last Sunday we noticed a smell of gas coming from the boiler when the heating came on. We immediately called the Gas Emergency Services and someone came very quickly and detected that there was indeed a leak from the boiler. He shut the...

hi there, I've the Siemens room thermostat which hasn't properly worked for the last few years i.e. Intermittent activity as programmed, then nothing. I've gotten round this by just overridding the receiver unit that is wired into the boiler however tonight even this isn't working! Is there...

We use 47 Kg Propane Calor Gas Cannisters just for our cooker hob as we aren't on mains gas here, but is there a simple dumb way to know when they are getting low? I know we just let them run out and when they are empty, they are empty! (simple I know)!! But just wondered if I was missing...

Hi, We live in a listed building, so are restricted in what we're allowed to do with regards to new pipework, etc. We have a minor issue in that there's a slight drop in gas pressure between the meter and the boiler. We had a plumber round recently to fix a water leak who was a little...

I have a self propelled petrol mount-field lawnmower that I have had since 2004, and for the first time last week it would not stop when the throttle was let go. I had to push the throttle cable in by hand very hard to just about stop it. At first I thought it stops by friction from the pad...

A tale of common sense, or therefor lack of. :D Yesterday I was at my Grandparents 80th Birthday party over in Kent, where it was pouring it down all day. So due to the bad weather and the fact we all wanted to use the gas BBQ and not simply cook the food in the oven, we decide to do it under...
