Hi - I little insight and guidance would be much appreciated. My wet UFH was installed over a year ago by a qualified heating engineer, he went through all stages and did the pressure test as well, everything has been working nicely without any issues. Now here is the unlucky coincidence - I had...

I’ve had an issue with my 7 year old Worcester Bosch boiler losing pressure for a couple of months. It’s fine when running, but when I turn it off at night it loses pressure and I have to refill the system in the morning. The problem has got worse with another weird symptom and I need some...

Hi everyone. I have had my Central heating on for a while but I switched it off last night. When I got up this morning there was a patch of water under the boiler and the pressure had dropped but not by much. I have established it is dripping from the pipe with a red tap marked CH flow. Any...

Hi I recently had a smart meter installed and shortly after my water tank stopped working - it is an electric tank, I have no gas supply. As part of the smart meter installation they turned off the electric supply. I have attached a picture of one of the front parts of the water heater. I am...

I have what I believe is a fairly standard open vented Y-plan heating system with a header tank and cold water tank in the loft (I have attached a picture of what I have worked out). I am not a plumber, but I am confident with pipe work - normally I would call a plumber but with the current...

Good Afternoon folks. Thanks in advance for any advice. I have a main 30 HE Combi. It loses pressure down to zero after the central heating has been on. If I start the day on 1 bar, it holds fine. Run the hot water/have a shower etc pressure goes up, then returns to 1 bar when turned off and...

Hi I live on the ground floor of a small block of flats that has a soil pipe running within the walls. This is boxed in with plywood & plasterboard which is then tiled. So not the best soundproofing (my bedroom is also on the other side of the bathroom wall) so I can hear when the flat above...

Hello. This is my first post on here, so please be gentle with me... We have a house with electric only heating, and all the hot water comes from a dual element immersion tank. Recently the main thermostat failed, causing the hot water tank to boil, and blow back into the cold water header. I...

Ive just moved into a rented property and some of the radiators were very cold at the top so I bled the radiators. The boiler lost pressure and switched off. I've repressurised the boiler to 1.5 but the controller on the boiler is completely off and I have no idea how to turn the thing back on...

Good evening . I have a Vaillant boiler that although the heating and hot water work perfectly independently the heating if in use will not come back on after using a hot tap or shower . If I press the reset button the heating will come back on but will not do so on it's own accord . Any advice...

Hi everyone, new to this forum and would greatly appreciate any advice. We installed a walk in shower with a false wall to conceal the shower, toilet and wall hung sink pipes. There was a slow leak which led to a lot of mould growth. We opened the shower pockets and cleaned pretty much all the...

Hi there, we replaced our Rotex Sanicube thermal store after discovering large amounts of sediment in our hot water supply. It was replaced with a Wocester Bosch unvented 250l cylinder. The sediment issue was resolved immediately but have noticed a large increase in oil usage. Probably going...

Hello folks, My kitchen sink waste pipes, which also take the drain hoses from the washing machine and the dishwasher (see attached photo) are causing me a problem. Roughly once a year, it starts to backup, and I have to uncouple the trap from the horizontal waste pipe, and suck out the...

Hi all. After experiencing issues with luke warm hot water and reading about the relative simplicity of refurbishing the diverter valve in the Baxi 105 he I went ahead and did the job (with some trepidation) To my relief the boiler is now working much better, however it is also leaking a fair...
