Faulty Heating System
:( Hi everybody I moved to a new house and have a combination boiler installed which is less than two years old. Hot water and radiators in ground floor work perfect but upstairs radiators just get hot in lower parts, so the top parts of radiators are always cold. I thought there is some air trapped inside the radiators…

Re leaking shower - are Mira trying it on?
We've had our present shower for many years. It's wired into the wall and the leak is coming from behind the control casing, thus very dangerous so no shower usage! :eek: I rang Mira re having it repaired and was told that they stopped making that model (Mira Supreme 8.4) in 1992 so no parts available, therefore we'd have…

Non stick frying pan
No matter what I do all my little frying pans become non non-stick after a few months. What am I doing wrong. My latest is a Tefal with a life time guarantee. Sadly the guarantee is only about the coating blistering or cracking not about the stickability.

Cooker always warm... advice needed.
We have a fan assisted oven which always has some warmth to it - more than just residual heat, and it often makes that cooling down 'ticking' noise, even when it has not been on for a ages.

Conservatory Blinds
Any advice on conservatory roof blinds to replace the pleated type we currently have. Our conservatory is of the traditional type, i.e. for plants rather than an living extension with a roof pitch of about 30 degrees in two directions i.e. no awkward corners.

Hello, I have recently been 'donated' a Hoover Logic Washer/Dryer 1300 (model no. A8534) after my previous machine packed up for good, but unfortunately the words on the front of the washing powder tray (the ones that tell you what setting does what) have been virtually entirely worn away. I'm not bothered about an entire…

Renovation ball-park costs
We have seen a local big house advertised cheaply (well in the scheme of things) that we love. Can't view until Saturday at a block viewing, so assume it will be popular and full of developer types. But we are in a good position with a big deposit and are first time buyers. We realise it needs a lots of work and are hoping…

Hi Bought my house 2 years ago and had a home buyer's survey which did not pick up any sign of damp. About a year ago I had a new valuation and the surveyor mentioned a potential damp problem. At the time, water was gathering near the front of the house after rainfall and I was told to fix this problem before tackling the…
