Hi, my boiler has recently started misbehaving.:mad: I can't figure it out, hence posting the symptoms to see if anyone can shed any light! It's a Valliant, located in the kitchen, and it's closed system with a water tank upstairs. Controlled by Hive and about 20 years old, but been serviced...

My Firebird Enviromax C20 is about 5 years old and has been serviced annually. It's run without problem until this morning. I have it programmed for a daily 20 minute cycle to heat the Hot Water in the Hot Water Tank, 0640hrs - 0700hrs. Today I noticed it was still running an hour later. I...

Hi, My central heating runs on a Drayton thermostat - 90 minutes in the morning and 90 in the evening. Past few days the water has gotten cold in the mornings. I turn on the hot water panel of the Drayton (not the immersion switch) which heats the water, but I'm wondering if this is inefficient...

Hi! So today a plumber came and changed the shower knobs. Everything seemed right until he opened the hot knob again and barely any water comes out. The cold one works as expected. He undid everything to check if something was weird or broken, but he showed us that everything looked normal. He...

Hi, Somebody please help! I have recently moved into a home with a Telford Tristor Thermalstore used to heat the water in the flat. Problem is that after 1 and a half showers, hot water has run out. In fact, the hot water is never really that hot. A plumber has been over and changed the...

Hi there, I recently moved into a rented flat - it's a nice flat and good for the money, but it's also pretty old and has (from what I can assume) a pretty old boiler system. When I moved in I didn't have hot water, the landlord and landlady haven't actually lived in the flat so when they came...

Hello all, I'm new to this forum so thanks and foremost for your help. Apologies if this is not the right place or been covered by another post. I need some help / advice with a tap in the bathroom upstairs. There is no pressure that comes out of the tap, in fact the more you open the tap...

Hello all, I’m pretty clueless when it comes to this sort of thing but as we can’t have tradesmen in the house due to shielding I’m hoping someone can give me advice to help diagnose my heating problems. We bought this house less than a year ago and starting to find that there are several...

I have a shower running off bath mixer taps (i.e. not an electric shower) and for the last few weeks it has been driving me insane... hot water has been intermittent and water pressure is terrible. Plumbers can't figure out what is causing the problem. What happens is this: when I turn on the...

Hey :-) I wonder if anyone can offer some advice. My combi boiler isn't providing any hot water. The pressure is fine, the thermostat up. It's on, electricity is supplied and pilot lit it's only 3 years old. The gauge on the front is saying 20 degrees but doesn't go above this. Is there any...

Good morning everyone, Looking for some pointers. As the title says we replaced the old broken one with a new ST9400C. Transferring the wiring didn't seem too bad at all. I have attached a pic of the old wiring. Basically one wire for CH, one for HW and the loop from Live to 2 and 5 for...

I have a Baxi Combi 80e. I have an issue that the hot water doesn't run constantly when the tap is on and will turn to cold and then get hot again. The boiler will ignite whilst it's running hot and go out when running cold. This is actually worse when running the bath tap. Would this be...
