Hello, My Vailliant boiler was showing F.27 (incorrect sensing of flames). I opened the panel and replaced the 2A fuse. After that the boiler stopped responding. Status code now is S.O (Heating issue, no heat demand). Does not respond to opening hot water tap or turning on the radiator...

I know some very old water fountains use to have mains powered underwater lights. Just wondering what the history is behind when the were banned and made presumably illegal? Regards: Elliott.

Hi all, My bathroom floor has these lumps developing under the flooring. I first posted about it a few months ago and it seems to have extended. The flooring is raised further along the join of the tile and some thick, sticky brown material has come up. I believe this could be glue? I have...

Hi, so we have a potterson promax so boiler and a water tank ... we have gas however the boiler has completely cut out and there is no hot water or heating, the pressure on the tank is very low... how do I increase the pressure? I have tried turning both valves but nothing happens - pictures for...

I've recently employed a new firm to service our boiler, which is a Main Combi Eco 25. The boiler has been relatively reliable to us with the only fault so far (after 3 years) being a replacement diverter valve. The boiler itself is 7 years old and we look after it (run it periodically during...

Hi all Some advice if possible. I fitted a new shower yesterday (Mira ERD Realm) thermostatic type at a clients house. Very pleased with the flow rate BUT it could be hotter. After flushing and commissioning I left the shower to run on full power ( lever turned up completely anti clockwise. I...

I have a leak from shower, the leak comes out on the ceiling though, so it's damaged the plasterboard ceiling. I presume there is a pipe running from the showeraomg this ceiling and so the leak could be anywhere from shower onwards. I've confirmed the tray is ok, and resealed again, looked...

Hi, I will soon be having most of my garden paved and would eventually like to have a new larger shed with power and water. So, I need to put in a pipe for water and an electrical cable to feed the shed I will eventually build. Never done this before so I dont know what to buy. For the time...

So as I've mentioned here, I'm currently planning a Garden Office build at the end of our 30m garden. The building will contain a small kitchenette, for tea's/coffee's etc and a small cloakroom with hand basin, so pretty minimal requirements. I'm now at the point where I need to start laying...

Hi, I live in a tenement flat in Aberdeen. A pipe supplies three flats on my side of the building. There is only one stopcock for all three flats. Recently a pipe broke in the lowest flat(first floor right). The police and a plumber were called to break into the flat and fix a leak that was...

Hi - I am hoping somebody might be able to help me please. As you'll be able to see in the attached photos, I am getting water in brickwork above the DPM after heavy rain. The affected walls (to the left and right of my front door) are covered by a porch and it is not possible for rain water...

We have a kitchen mixer tap that kept dripping so knew that the washer was going. Last night turning this off, it seemed to “snap” and the cold tap wouldn’t turn off as the handle just turns round to infinity with the water just slowing and not stopping! So we managed to get to the cold feed...

What's the best way to place some kind of flap on the roof edge that drops into the gutter to prevent water running down back of the gutter and down the side of the building? Picture shows what we've currently got.

Hi My husband and I have recently completely ripped out our bathroom and installed a new one. Father in law did the pipe work for the new stuff, and we have replaced our old electric shower with a bar mixer shower, which we finished fitting last night. When turning it on, the water runs fine...

Hi. I've got a temporary situation with the water feeding my toilet. I'm using a length of 1/2" garden hose, but it's springing leaks, so I'm having to turn water on and off as needed. Seems the hose is not meant to handle the constant water pressure. I'd like to replace this flexible hose...

When I use the hot water on my Main Combi Eco 25, all the radiators heat up. The longer the request for hot water is there, the hotter they get. The boiler isn't old (late 2012). It was fitted very well by someone local considered very experienced (43 years) in what they do and is a very tidy...

I'm just wondering how well a Main Eco Combi Boiler (30) can cope with being switched on and off over a short amount of time. I grew up with a very old Glo-Worm boiler. It was dead reliable but we only had hot water in the evenings -- it was never on-demand, so as a kid/teen I never expected to...

Hi The overflow pipe is dripping. I have been researching how to stop it but am now confused as to where the pipe comes from. In my naivety I thought overflows just came from heating systems. I have now read it could be from the toilet. How do I find out which it is coming from?

I am in the process of moving some mains cold water pipework in my house which will make it pass through a concrete floor. There is a copper gas pipe which was disconnected last year that runs through the concrete. On the face of it, this may seem like a silly question, but is there any reason...
