My central heating controller (Horstmann H27XL) is getting more difficult to use due to it's age and because of a disability I have reduced dexterity in my fingers and find the buttons difficult to press. I have been looking at these so called smart thermostats such as Nest, Hive and the...
I eventually discovered that the problem with roots was quite extensive and have had the roots cleared and the pipe lined on insurance.
However now that I know the system is clear there is still one problem remaining. Although there is no evidence of any blockage, when the toilet has not been...
I have identified the problem which is that the outside drain is full of roots from the garden. I have cleared a small bucketful, which has probably helped, but there is still a large clump that I can reach but can't dislodge. Using drain rods isn't working.
Is there a recognised way of...
I have an en suite bathroom with a shower sink and toilet that all appear to be connected. Every so often I get a blockage, but this clears itself usually before returning some months later. The symptoms are:
When I drain either the shower or sink or flush the toilet, I get bubbles in the other...
I have now contacted 3 different gas engineers by either email or web form asking for a quote for a job at my daughter's house in East Bowling, Bradford. On all 3 occasions I have had no reply from the business I contacted. In fairness, I have had the same (lack of) response for requests for...

Either I am extremely unlucky or there is a serious...
I am looking for a service for the above boiler located in the East Bowling area of Bradford BD4. It has probably not been serviced for a while but otherwise is in good working order. There is a slow leakage of pressure in the system which requires a 'boost' every week or so. Boiler is located...
I'm hoping that this will be the case. Of course I still have the current problem of identifying a tradesman to carry out the service, when recent experience in all trades when I have requested a quote is to completely ignore my request. My luck with securing the services of tradesmen has got to...
My daughter has a combi boiler (Procombi 85HE) that slowly loses pressure over time. Unfortunately access to the filling loop valves is behind wooden 'boxing' which necessitates the front being unscrewed to access it. Easy for me but then I'm 50 miles away. Is there a way to have access to the...
It doesn't go directly to outside. The house was built with all the soil pipes internal behind plasterboard. I've no idea what happens when the waste pipe passes through the wall.
