Although this is usually a warranty claim I'm having difficulty with this as I messed...
Hi I’ve got a couple of gas safety checks coming up and I’m a bit confused as to whether I need to tick yes or no to the appliance serviced part? Does a landlord cert count as a service or does this mean has the appliance been serviced within the past year? Many thanks

I want to add inhibitor into towel radiator for the heating system. I saw from Youtube that people normally open the radiator vent plug from bottom, either left or right (photo 4 and 5). But I saw someone opened from top which looks easier.

Hi, I’m changing my kitchen and swapping from a gas hob to an electric induction hob.
Rest assured, I have no intention of doing any work at all on the gas supply, I just have a question.
Assuming we might want to go back to gas at some point in the future, it may be worth leaving an easy...
My renewal is over £500 for £2,000,000 cover. Domestic plumbing, heating and gas. Nothing unusual or nitch. Never made a claim, excess £1000. 20yrs with same insurer does this sound about right? How much should i be paying, current quoter originally recommended by institute of plumbing. Cheers.
Hi apologies of this has been asked before but when you gas rate an appliance and trying to compare to the technical data, do you go off the Domestic hot water input as that’s a higher figure than the central heating max? Thanks
Vaillant ecoFIT 415 open vent heat only boiler. For wiring the boiler and pump, should I use the 3-way wire switch" solution OR a "remote switching" solution? The pump and copper tank are situated about 25ft from the boiler. I've been told that the 3-way cable solution doesn't work well with...
hello

Hello,
I have a Vokera Excel 29 gas boiler which is losing pressure. I need to drain the boiler in order to repressurise the expansion vessel back to 1 bar. Can anyone explain how to drain this boiler?

My boiler was installed in July 2021. As my boiler is in garage, I didn't notice how it sounded when it started. A few weeks ago, when the boiler just started, by chance I went to garage looking for something, I heard the boiler was very loud! Much louder than when it is in operation for a...
Hi just been to check a family members boiler and I’m getting just over 25mbar working pressure at the meter and 22mbar inlet pressure at the boiler. Standing pressure is 29mbar and done a tightness test and that is all fine. Also did a gas rate and it’s only only showing as 22kw and the boiler...

Hi all, just this morning seem to have a new problem to us with our Rayburn. Oven and central heating all operating as normal, however we have no hot water from any taps. We would normally hear the Rayburn kick in when hot water is demanded… however it is not.

Hi all,
The day before yesterday early morning (23rd of Jan) the temperature was very low, about -7C, so before that, I set timer to start CH for 6-8am to prevent the cold weather freezing the boiler. BUT, by 6:40am I woke up and didn't hear the pump noise. I went to see the timer which was not...
