Thanks guys for your replies, I'm just curious to know why everyone on my street hasn't had one fitted when the extractor is in the exact same place. I've never seen one of these before so forgive me for asking what it is. And yes Nige they did do that fine brickwork (To be fair it was a...

Hi Everyone, I've just had a new boiler installed (Ideal Model) My old boiler had a very low profile flue, however after they fitted it I walked outside to discover something that looks like it's off a steam train!! The bracket looks like it's going to come out, also the...

Just an update : They are removing the tank after having saying that I use the loft for storage and the tank is likely to get damaged with me moving things around. It gets taken away with a Asbestos company within the week.

Hi Everyone, I rent a house with affinity sutton and they are currently in the process of upgrading my boiler in my kitchen and water tank in my loft. I've been told today that the tank that's up there is made from Asbestos, they also have told me that the tank will not be removed and will be...

ok thanks very much :D

haha just one last question, is it normal for the vessel pressure gauge to rise when you put your central heating on, if so what's the acceptable rate? Cheer :lol:

BINGO!!! I was just as you type looking at that as it wasn't warm on the thermo side of the rad, I've just removed the thermo head and got some combi's on the valve pin and instant hot rad! I'm going to let it warm for and hour, turn off then again re-bleed the rad's. Thanks guys...

Hi Seco, thanks for all your advice ok, done everything you said, as noted before the gauge was on zero, I turned the lever at the side of the vessel and the gauge went up, I stopped it at 1.5 bar, I started to re-bleed the rads, starting with the ones downstairs, all of them downstairs where...

Hi There, tried everything you said when I got home from work tonight, I tired bleeding all the rads again just before I turned all the thermo valves to off. Still no luck, I've got water coming out of all the upstairs rads at the top, even the cold one, there are two rads hotter than the...

Hi Seco, thanks for your reply Ok Answer to your questions, yes there is a cold tank in the loft, I think this feeds the hot water system as I recently replaced the ball valve in that, with regards to the upstairs radiators, it's just one that stays cold, all the rest are either hot or warm...

Hi Everyone, I've taken to ask as I'm at my wits end now after reading loads of webpages and differing forums. Basically, I took a radiator off in my spare bedroom whilst I decorated, I shut off the themostatic valve and locksheld valve whilst it was removed (cant remember if I used the...

thanks thats really a great help

Hi everyone Just been having a little sort out of items in my house when I was shocked to discover small maggots crawling in one of my books!! I've got a wooden dresser which stands in the kitchen, which i keep a few things stored in the cupboard at the bottom of it, and in the drawers...
