    Green star 24i fan running constantly

    I've got a fault with above and I have a nagging suspicion that it is a fan fault although everything is pointing towards pcb. Have I just imagined this is the problem with the fans?

    Why be a plumber!

    I'm knackered and was up half the night with the runs (either too much sea water yesterday or a dodgy pint or 4) my body is aching after a surf lesson yesterday and I'm stuck in a bathroom roasting my nuts off smashing tiles off a wall! There has got to be better ways to make a living!

    Diy sos

    I would like to see the places a few years down the line as everything happens far too quickly and you know what they can miss they will.

    Poor vaillant rep

    I went into my local plumb centre at lunch time and did my usual thing when reps are in that I don't want to talk to and I avoided eye contact. So I ordered my bits and the lad behind the counter obviously decided to get me back for months of abuse and said why don't you tell him why you don't...

    Unvented or water heater

    My partner and me have bought a house and it's all electric, we have a vented cylinder in the airing cupboard but I am taking one of the walls down so have got to remove the tank stand for the cwsc so was thinking of just putting a little under counter water heater in as all I've got to feed is...

    Intermittent over heat

    I installed a boiler 10 months ago and it started tripping the over heat so I popped out and the pump had had it (customer refused to have the controls replaced) so I replaced the pump and over the next week it tripped out once so I popped out again and tweaked the bypass valve and again it has...

    Baxi installers

    What are you paying for flue bits? Flue extensions, elbows, 135deg bends I have noticed that I can get them cheaper at screwfix than plumb centre. They are saying it is because of the multifit 2 flues and they have changed them so I had a look at another price for worcester flues and that's...

    Warmflow pump.

    Can I swap a pump head on a warmflow green 70 Kanin-pal combi he for anything else apart from the manufacturers own. I've just been quoted £179+vat from plumb centre and £139+vat from hwos. I can't believe a pump head is over £100 that's a rip off!

    Electric vs lpg

    My girlfriend and myself are looking at a property which has no heating in which isn't too much of a problem, but as with most villages around me there is no mains gas so that limits our choices. We can't have oil as there is no where to put a tank so that's ruled out (which would of been my...

    Since you serviced my boiler!

    I've just had a phone call from a customer I serviced their boiler and apparently since I went there it has been making horrendous noises. Just looked through my diary and I went out there in September! I think someone is after something for free!

    planning DIY plumbing next weekend,

    I always open motorised valves it seems to be the times I forget I get air locks. As an example a job I have drained fully 3 times for moving rads etc, twice it has filled beautifully the third it air locked a pig and the reason it air locked was because I left the motorised valves shut where...

    God keep the DIYers safe from harm

    Which boiler manufacturer say that the system must be power flushed? Most of the systems I have installed onto since I have moved to Cornwall have been spotless and do not need a power flush, a chemical flush is more than enough and when I've been back to service and clean out the magnacleans...

    Beta 12/15 oil boiler manual

    I am after a manual for this boiler. Never seen one before and never worked on one so just want to have a quick look over before I do it. I've tried google but nothing comes up all I can find is it was built by heating world group which has that been taken over or had the name changed to grandee?

    Unvented in roofspace

    I have been asked if I can relocate a cylinder into a roof space. Unvented would be an easier option rather than building the cwsc up higher. My question is will I need to do anything to strengthen the joists? I am planning on putting it above the existing airing cupboard so the walls...

    Vaporising course

    I keep getting asked to do work on agas ray burns etc as I've never worked on them I keep turning them down but I have now turned down 6 jobs in the last month! It seems to be a dying art and people can't get anyone to do them so was thinking of trying to get on a course to show me the ins and...

    Locating sewer pipe.

    I have just been to a job and the customer wants a washing machine moving to his garage. There is no mains or waste in there at the moment so need to locate the sewer so I can join into it. I know where the soil is and the cesspit but there is nothing in between. I am hoping it runs round...

    Grant extended flue clips

    Anybody know if they are just like munson rings with a bit of threaded bar in between or do I have to screw the bar into the wall? Also is there a cheaper option as they are expensive for what they are.
