    Potterton Prima turning on and off

    Ah! good point, sorry missed that symptom. and does not have frost stat, and assume Hive doesnt either. Boilers with frost stats, guy at Potterton technical helpline once just said to disconnect it to stop random firing.

    Brittony 2T replacement

    They reckon you could save about £100 a year with condensing, but obviously depends on how long they run for. Pilot light also continuous so using gas. so do the sums - not much to go wrong with the Britony 11T, change diaphragm (about £5) every 3 or 4 years perhaps. Thermocouple maybe 10...

    Washing machine waste comes up kitchen sink?!

    take out the section with the two spigots and fitt trap directly to sink waste. That would correct the fall problem. Then put spigot connection on the now sloping horizontal run.

    DIYer - need help with toilet pipe air-valve install

    Wouldn't be happy with this. How about a corner toilet, or move onto side wall and straight out? With the low water content toilets even ours doesn't clear every time and that is straight out.

    Labels for shower controls

    Can anyone suggest where to get labels for a shower? Original ones worn of, and embarrassing for guests not to know what controls body jets, rain head, hand set, hot, cold, and flow. Shrieks when they get the wrong one! Ideally a clear or silver grey label with a symbol on them that can be...

    Positive pressure fan, like Nuaire or Envirovent. Fitted these in tenants properties where they wouldn't use extractor fan. Brilliant, landlords and tenants very pleased with reduction in condensation.

    New Central Heating with 10mm pipe
