Back on the topic of heating, I've now got my heating working. Turns out the batteries had run out on the thermostat, so 2 new AA's and I'm up and running again.
Now the issue seems to be that yes it all works but the temperature has to drop to such a degree as it feels pretty chilly before it fires up again.
Then it gets quite warm in my living room before it switches off again. I've turned off the radiators in the bedroom and bathroom. The hallway radiator doesn't have a tap style knob so cannot be turned off. I wonder if I can make the thermostat more sensitive, or get a new one that links to the base unit in my cupboard or what to do. I might investigate later on google. It's likely a common problem.
edit; now it won't switch on at all automatically. my thermostat is not attached to the wall as I removed it from the hallway intending to locate it in the living room.
It connects to the base unit in the boiler cupboard alright, as a green light goes on when I adjust the temperature upwards, but nothing happens.
If however I put it on constant it ignites the boiler and the heating switches on. So the issue is between the base unit and the switch on switch.
edit2; i didn't have the timings set for my usage. the timings were set for worker hours not those of us at home. tch tch.
