house

Hi All, I am part way though converting a property into a House of Multiple Occupation. It will have 6 bedrooms (and six showers). It's my 1st conversion of this size so I have made a couple of school boy errors! I had new GCH installed last year (Glow worm 30c). This provides heating and...

Hi Maybe someone can advise on this scenario: Property: 3 storey semi-detached townhouse, built c.2004. Hot water: Megaflow system, in upstairs airing cupboard, which works well. Heating plumbing: 10mm plastic microbore, header tank in the loft. Boiler: Natural gas IDEAL Logic 18Kw+ (upgraded...

Only showing temp setting on right and 2 dots on left (presume they're the dots between where the time would be) Changed batteries twice Pressed reset and a time (11:00) very briefly displays when you first release, but then disappears. Followed instructions to set the date-nothing Is it...

We have just moved in to a 1950's house which has a central heating system previously heated by a coal fired Rayburn which has been removed. We need to have a new boiler installed, but this may have to be in a temporary location as we hope to have the whole house remodelled and extended. It...

I think I am correct in saying that building Regs part L1a states that a house over 150 sqm, should have its heating system zoned. However the builders I work for don't want to zone it due to added cost of installation and time. I think they have stated that because the house had its planning...

Just come home early from my holidays and discovered the plumber I have employed must have caused water damage. Looks like he has drilled through his new pipework! Do you think I should now sue him? ;)

Anyone seen this house while on holiday? How does it get its water/gas/waste out etc? Its connected only by a bridge but couldn't see any pipes. Bridge is only a catwalk.

I'm in the process of converting part of my house into a holiday let but have had 2 different solutions suggested on how to heat and provide water to both properties. I only have oil as the fuel option. 1 plumber has quoted for 2 separate boilers; one is a system boiler to replace our current...

Hi, I have lived in a large Victorian house for the last 7 years and never had a problem heating it. I could get the house toasty warm without problem. On paper it’s not energy efficient(high ceilings, wooden floors etc). It is mostly double glazed with the odd single glazed window. Although the...

I’d really appreciate some advice. We moved into a new build 3 story town house last Monday. It’s got a Worcester boiler & 2 wireless thermostats (one by the front door, the other on the first floor landing). When the downstairs thermostat asks for heat (to warm up the kitchen & lounge) every...

what are these ? They are in the living room and two bedrooms

Hi guys. This job is near reading. It is to do a couple of bathrooms, move boiler, move tanks in loft higher and put cylinder in loft. Possibly put in an unvented cylinder as mains pressure and flow off the chart. A bit too far for me but it is for my wife's friend.

Other than £75, whats the difference- Basically, which would you buy? I was going to order the cheapest on Monday Ideal Logic ESP1 24kW Combination Boiler Natural Gas ErP | Boilers Ideal Logic C24 Combination Boiler Natural Gas ErP | Boilers

Has anybody had any experience with one of these. After some genuine feedback. Been asked to quote to fit a combi in a 2 bed semi and remove a powermax 155x. But the powermax is in the centre of the house and it has 19mm boarding on the floor, not floorboards. Do not want to try and take the...

Please tell me we aren’t going mad? Before today our radiators worked fine, got really hot and heated the house quickly etc. We had a magnetic filter and a Hive thermostat fitted yesterday (the filter was on the list for a while at the recommendation of our plumber and the Hive was brought...

Hi All, I hope you can help. I am looking for advise to try to work out if my builder is fobbing me off again or giving good advise. I live in a 3 storey 6 bedroom house. It has a Ideal Logic 24 boiler and we are having heating issues. (2 rooms on 3rd and 4 room on 2nd) with 1 x wireless...

Hi all, I am a bit disabled with a bash on the head so unable to work in life now, but still able to learn bits at a time and do some things for myself. lost concept of time and dates but no problem to me, only others and cognitive functioning is affected. I have taken on a large old house...

Hi, I've just had a Baxi Duotec 28 fitted. I've got 7 radiators and the plumber said for this 2 bedroom bungalow it should be fine. Because it's winter I've had the the thermostatic valves fully open. All the radiators seem to get quite hot but I've found that shutting off a couple of radiators...

It's a decent sized system, 8 rads upstairs, 4 down, the only rad that gets hot is the bathroom one. Glow-worm ultracom 38cxI I think about 10 years old I think has orange light panel with mode CH/off, temperature setting, pump inside casing. The boiler fires up and the temperature goes up...
