Hi, I've been having heating problems recently where the heating wasn't always coming on. I have a Worcester Bosch condensing boiler which has recently been serviced, and a Lifestyle LP241 timer. The timer lets me set 2 times for each hot water and central heating. What I've found is happening...

Just received this email; Hi, I am currently working with British Gas in the recruitment of self employed heating engineers to carry out servicing work for their HomeCare customers. Please see below details of the work: Work Type: Servicing of boilers and appliances Contract Length...

Hi, An engineer came to do a service of the boiler in a house I bought last year. It's the first service I've done of a boiler that is about 8 years old I think. The boiler has had previous services as per manufacturer recommendation. The bloke who came took about ten minutes to tell me...

Basically landlords who ask for you to do a number of landy gas certs . They email a list of numbers and then spend half your time texting or phoning tenants. You then get a ridiculous time after 5 pm when they are home to do the cert. Or they cancel you last minute and arrange another after...

Anyone else had the gas inspector come round to see if they can actually do a tightness test? What is the point? You spend thousands of pounds getting through the exams, creating a portfolio, getting registered, spending thousands on taking digferent modules and paying for registration and then...

Hi All, Happy Sunday! In my house there is a kitchen extension with Ufh connected to glow worm 38cxi. It has a blender valve and a circulation pump. both this and the radiator circuit are controlled by a wall stat. I don't think this works at all well. I'm planning to separate the rad...

My opposite pensioner neighbour is being horrendously overcharged for roofing work she doesn't need, no leaks except her neighbour was having roof cleaned and they noticed a few broken tiles so you get the picture. She signed a contract for 8K which was well described but she is only getting new...

I'm sure I should know this by now so I apologise in advance for my ignorance but who is DAN, why does he post such wacky random stuff and why does no one ever seem to answer the poor chap?

Some history is that one gas engineer (who checked safety after fitting of a new gas meter) in the past said I had to have an air vent fitted in the lounge as gas fire required it, but then another engineer (British Gas) said if it is 7½ bar & below this is not necessary, so blocked the said up...

Been adding UnderFloor Heating to my own house and it's running provisionally. Controls yet to be wired. Can't think of ideal system but this is the best I can think of myself: Since the UFH is auxiliary to a radiator (theoretically not enough output from UFH to hold its own in cold weather)...

Complete novice here!! We had a brand new bathroom fitted about 9 months ago and have been having a lot of issues with the shower, a Hudson Reed Traditional Triple Concealed Thermostatic Shower Valve. It did seem to work ok for a couple of months but then one day we couldn't have a very hot...
