brilliant Many thanks

Disconnected thermostat and frost stat but boiler still keeps firing up as if there is a demand for heat. Programmer is switched to off. Cylinder 2 port is closed, central heating open Anybody any ideas please. Boiler fires up and then down as if satisfied then fires up pretty much...

With the risk of receiving another slating I believe so. Most firm of lawyers have conveyancing teams that purely deal with property transactions. I have always employed a firm that charges a set fee for conveyancing that includes all the necessary questions, legal matters et al. I have never...

Loads of conveyancers now just charge a one off fee regardless of the amount of letters they write or phone calls they make. But Ok you're right the OP did ask what was needed and not what could make his experience go more smoothly. Apologies

sorry didn't mean to touch a nerve just relating to my own experiences 1. Yes I know gas engineers self certify there work but when an appliance is registered by the engineer the certificate sent to the homeowner once it has been registered etc etc I have found that buying and selling can...

Bought and sold a few houses (not recently however!). Any gas work involving a flued appliance post 2002 requires a building regs cert. Solicitors only ever questioned central heating boiler however. Would certainly be worth getting a gas safety certificate from a gas safe registered...

No probs with back syphoning at all. The height of the basin and the drop to the toilet has never made it an issue for me.

City Plumbing do them, which is a national chain. I think but don't quote me on it that the company that make them is Marlowe

You can get toilet waste fittings that have a 32mm waste connection on them. A lot easier.

I'm summising that your water tank was taken out when your combi boiler was fitted (it should have been) If that's the case and your bathroom hasn't been re furbed since, your electric shower will still be connected via the mains. Your electric shower will only have one water feed into it ie...

You have an electric shower but have no need for one if you have a combination boiler. An 8.5kw electric shower will only off the top of my head give you a flow rate of about 7 litres per min at 40C. If you have good hot water pressure elsewhere in the house it's because it is running off the...

If you don't have a system boiler (expansion vessel integral) then yes you will need an expansion vessel, this takes the place of the F&E tank that will probably be up in your loft close to your cold water cylinder. This will be for the expansion of the central heating water once it gets heated.

Greater the KW = Greater flow rate. Provided of course you've got the cold water flow rate initially. As a rough guide an 8.5 KW shower will give you about 6 - 7 lts flow rate per min. 9.5 or 10 KW showers slightly more but not the sort of flow rate you probably require. Plus they need a...

Hi, Surprised if it's both sets of pipes What heating system have you got. ie combination boiler or hot water cylinder. If combi then eventually you wouldn't hear any sound from central heating pipes because it will empty and have to be manually filled. If it is just from a hot water pipe...
