    Central heating issue

    Thanks for that. The black manual switch on the body of the actuator is 'floppy' (no resistance) I read somewhere that this indicates the unit is stuck in mid position, supplying both HW & CH at the same time. Is this correct? I've attached a photo for reference Mm, it seems the photo hasn't...

    Central heating issue

    Vailant ecotec system boiler. Drayton Lifestyle controller Hi. Yesterday I turned on my central heating. After turning it at the controller off I noticed it was still running. The hot water was set to 'timer' (but wasn't on at that time) When I turned the hot water to 'off' the boiler stopped...

    Unusual noise from pipe. Any thoughts?

    I just thought I'd let you know how this panned out. The sound of running water was coming from a leaking pipe - on a house two doors away. Apparently four (semi detached) properties are fed by the same main supply pipe. The WB repaired the pipe and the sound has disappeared! Yey! Thanks for...

    Thoughts please about possible cistern issue

    Thanks for the replies. The same thing happened over the winter but the noise mysteriously disappeared. No issues since yesterday. As I said the toilet itself if full of junk. I don't know if any wether is trickling into the pan, but from what I can gather (and it's only a guess) the noise seems...

    Thoughts please about possible cistern issue

    Hi everyone, I have a problem with my outside loo (yes, some old houses still have them!) I can hear the sound of water running through the pipe which runs into the cistern. It is like the noise the cistern makes after being flushed but when it is almost re-filled (a low level noise if you see...

    Unusual noise from pipe. Any thoughts?

    Hi. Thanks for the replies. Last night, when I went to turn off the stopcock, the noise had gone! It hasn't returned at the time of writing. Dunno what it could have been as there were definitely no taps or cisterns open/filling. The noise was at its loudest under the sink like I said, just...

    Unusual noise from pipe. Any thoughts?

    Thanks for the reply. I don't have a water meter. I'm hoping that the supply pipe hasn't sprung a leak somewhere. My local water board offers a free repair service, but with caveats. At least half of that feed is under my garage, if the leak (if that's what it is) is there then they would...

    Unusual noise from pipe. Any thoughts?

    Hello everyone. I've just noticed a noise from my water pipe. It sounds like water is flowing through the pipe, yet there are no taps in use etc. It is loudest under the sink. I have an outside loo which is close by but isn't making any noise. There is no evidence of leaks anywhere in the house...
