gas

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...

Hi guys, Me and my partner are about to sign a tenancy agreement with a private landlord, however I am a bit worried about the gas cooker in this new kitchen. It is a standalone cooker and hob, with worktops on the left side and nothing on the right side. It is also right next to an inside...

Hi all!! I've just moved into a new house and can't figure out how to use the boiler. Can't seem to find any user manuals for it online either so hoping someone on here can help. I know how to turn the heating in and off and about the timer but when it comes to hot water I'm stumped!! Here's a...

Hey All We recently bought a flat that was built in the 90's and had to replace some floorboards in the as they had some water damage from a previous owner. The replacing of the boards was easy enough however when under the floors there was a rather strange design! Right at the bottom there...

Dear all, I have just moved into a new (old) flat, with a pretty absent landlord. He did show me around the flat, but I get the impression he takes the 'patch it up' approach to repairs and he and the previous tenants have tolerated various glitches in the heating/hot water systems over the...

I had a minor job done yesterday, to move a gas pipe feed to my hob further back to allow more space for the cooker. All went fine but when testing following switching everything back on, he found there was a drop (I assume pressure) highlighting that there was a leak. In brief: He isolated the...

Hello, I'm in the process of decorating my kitchen and had a gas safe plumber round to fit a new gas hob. The old hob was connected with a black flexible hose which I guessed would need replacing. When the plumber came he had a look and said where the pipe came out of the wall it was black...

I have a house with a gas emergency shut-off valve at the (external) meter but nothing at the point at which the pipe enters the property. I understand that it's good practice to provide one as soon as practically possible after the pipe enters the building - but is this a Building (and/or Gas...

Having an issue with my boiler and wondering if anyone knows the answer. The pilot light seems to be working fine, but whenever I fire up the burner for the central heating, within about 15-20 minutes there's a click followed by a shut down on the gas. I'm against going into the mechanics of...

Hi, I have just bought a Hive thermostat, but I can't work out how to connect the receiver into the boiler. I have connected the backplate to the permanent live / neutral from the spur, but not sure where the Common, Heating Off, and Heating On terminals need to be connected to in the boiler...
