Gas boiler
Has anyone any idea what this could be? We've had gas engineers visit regularly for the past 3 months, but because it doesn't do it when they're here, they have no idea what it is. It can happen at any time, it can happen when the central heating is on or just when the boiler is heating water up. I have my suspicions what…

Dripping sound
I have a dripping sound inside my chimney breast in my upstairs bedrooms which is driving me mad. I think it is part of the problem with the roof - roofer is working on that but without much success. He has suggested that the dripping sound could be coming from the boiler and pipework (boiler is in the loft). It sounds…

Mess up with energy switch
I switched 16 days ago from 1 tariff to another with EDF. EDF have no record of the switch and I've phoned them numerous times. I've contacted the energy club 4 times but received no reply. My last switch was done without a hitch but I have no idea what's happening this time!
