cold

We have a kitchen mixer tap that kept dripping so knew that the washer was going. Last night turning this off, it seemed to “snap” and the cold tap wouldn’t turn off as the handle just turns round to infinity with the water just slowing and not stopping! So we managed to get to the cold feed...

Hi everyone, Can someone please help me? I'm tearing my hair out trying to figure out why our home is so cold. I managed to get a Flir One (Gen2) Thermal Camera pretty decent price. I'm not sure if I'm using it properly. I've taken some photos of the outside of the house and some of the...

The boiler is filling up the unvented cylinder with hot water as it should but the hot taps and showers have increased in pressure and only release cold water (maybe a dash of hot water blended in). Intriguingly, when a particular hot tap that is near to the tank is opened (I haven't tested yet...

Hi, Im considering insulating a wall internally as this room gets very cold as soon as the heating is turned off. Its a downstairs living room, and my plan is to insulate the exterior wall. We had insulation blown into the cavity walls within the house, and insulated the suspended floor to...

Hi, I had a new heating system installed in my flat to replace an archaic gas fired warm air heating system and a gas fired water boiler in my kitchen. I had it installed in my loft on the gable end with new pipe work and rads. I also had a pressure accumulator fitted due to the mains pressure...

Hi All, This could be an easy one for the experts out there to close out. My house is a late 1800s mid terrace. My attic wall (loft built to regs) has damp patches that have penetrated through the dabs. The other side is my neighbours non insulated , non converted attic room (no cavity between...

Hi all. New poster. Hope this is in the right place. I have an issue in that a radiator in my flat is completely cold. I have bled it (there was very little air in there) but think it might be a pressure issue. Our boiler drops pressure regularly, sometimes down to close to zero. Using the...

The house is a new build of around 4 years old. There is a bedroom above the garage. This bedroom typically remains 5-10 degrees colder than the rest of the house. The loft above that bedroom is inaccessible. I have suspected that that part of the loft is not insulated but had no way of getting...

Hi Folks, there is a pretty large gap in our garage door which lets a lot of cold air into garage. Can this be improved in any way? Picture here: https://1drv.ms/i/s!AvxDFgUHUgNCxFFWrt2bKXIebhqD Thanks folks.

Hi Folks, during winter our bathroom can be quite cold and doesn't really hold much heat. I have the bathroom window sealed up and loft insulation in place. Recently I have noticed a draught coming out of a gap between the tiles and our bath. The bathroom is above our garage. I went down to the...

Hey everybody, so recently my boiler has started giving a hard time. I went out the other day (mind you it was extremely cold) and when i came back the boiler wasnt working as good. The downstairs rad were cold and upstairs were just about warm but still had flowing hot water through the taps...

Hi there, I havea rd 532i boiler that has stopped working yesterday. I still have hot water but I don't have any heating. The thermostat is electric (checked for battery) when I took the fascia off the boiler got an error code. I have checked the out door condensor pipe which is not frozen...

Hi, I've had no shower for 2 weeks now... Aqualisa can't come out for another week, so I'm hoping someone here can help me fix it myself! The shower came on as usual, but wouldn't get hot (a tiny bit warm) then it just cut off. But the power light on the control was still red. I've tried...
