I have a 40m2 area at the end of my garden which had an old rotten summerhouse and decking, a filled in pond full of rocks and roots. I've been clearing it all out and churning up all the soil as I go. I plan on putting in a 6mx3m patio, but I am concerned whether the soil, now that I have...

I’ve got a horrible feeling that the bath mixer tap I have purchased is not going to cover the holes completely in the bath and wonder what my options are. It’s too late to return the taps unfortunately. Just to complicate things slightly, each tap is Square as opposed to the more normal round...

Hi all I know there are a number of threads on this, which I've read and attempted to follow. Short version: Had an old system boiler for HW and CH replaced with a Logic Max C30 Combi. Previously the system was wired up to a dual channel Hive. The guy that fitted the boiler said it'd need...

Hi all, I was wondering if you can help me please. I recently moved into a new flat with a broken intercom which makes it impossible to get my deliveries, no buzz and no dial tone. I identified it as a "ACET 22220 (2 Wire)". It has 6 wires inside (yellow, green, white, red, blk, blue). Cables...

Hey all, Ok so we have a Vokera Compact A 25kw boiler and 5 radiators (plus two towel rails) in the 3 bed house we’ve bought. We wanted to change one of the downstairs rads to be one of these designer tall radiators. Plumber has installed it and then when we’ve turned the heating on, all...

Hi all, I am in the process of updating our heating controls. Looking to install Hive as we had it at a previous house and simply want to utilise the app as we work shift work so do not have set schedules. I am looking to install this myself as I always like to attempt in the first instance...

Have searched the site for solution and couldn't find one for my problem, hopefully someone is able to advise on where I have went wrong. Formerly had potterton EP2002 controller connected to my BAXI system boiler 60/100. (See photo) This also had a thermostat wired in and has a hot water...

I`m going to remove an internal partition between my extension and need to stick a 152x89 beam to help support the flat joist roof. Engineers confirmed that 152x89 is more than enough. Do I need some sort of spreading plate or grout? How do I install it? when the beam is in place how I will...

Hello, I had a wee troll through the forums and could not find the answer to my specific question, so that's the reason for this thread. I just bought the Tado with extension kit and am trying to install it onto my Worchester combi boiler and current Drayton Digistat SCR wireless system. I...

I am fitting a new Dudley Acclaim cistern (LL 6/7/9L HP/LP B/V part no. PACWHS 315196) to an old pan and need the 9L flush. The syphon does not correspond exactly to either of those in the instructions. DudleyAcclaimSyphonInstructions by MikeAustin posted 19 Oct 2018 at 11:28 PM...

Hi all, I am moving into a new home and wanted to install the Nest. I looked at the wiring to the Drayton reciever which seems simple enough, also wiring from the Glow worm boiler. I have the Neutral and Live coming from a fused switch and then 1 and 3 coming from the boiler. My assumption is...

Hello I was wondering if someone could please help me out with installing the new Hive receiver/thermostat. I thought it would be a simple swap but I'm a little bit stuck with the wiring of my current receiver. I have a Valiant Ecotec Plus 831 boiler with 230V supply. It's receiver - the Salus...

Hi All, I have recently purchased a Nest to install alongside my combi boiler. My boiler currently does not have a thermostat, it has a timer / controller on the boiler that I use to turn on / off the CH. The thermostat connections on the boiler are 'volt free' and currently there is simply a...

Hi all, Apologies, another Nest example but I've not seen one for this boiler. We have a 13 year old powermax 185 (Yes, I know) that I'd like to control using Nest and Amazon Echo. I'm yet to purchase the Nest system but wanted to check my thoughts on the wiring before I go ahead. I've...

Hi, I wondering if somebody can point me in the right direction with the installation of a nest thermostat. So i have the nest 3rd gen and need to connect this to the boiler. Can anybody help point me in the right direction to which connections on the boiler side i require to use. The...

Looking for some advice on Nest 3rd Gen and Hive 2nd Gen installation requirements for my current setup, wonder if someone can assist in answering my queries. I'll start with an explanation of what I have and where I would like to get to and will drop a few photos here too. I have a Gas fired...

Hi guys, First off sorry for the long post! So a couple of a weeks ago I bought two of the new 3rd gen (with hot water control) Nest thermostats, and yesterday was meant to be the day of installation (I paid for professional installation direct from Nest). The guy (from a company called HCM...
