Hi, I do not mean to insult any one. If I did please forgive my ignorance. I thought it is easy for you, because you all are professionals and do the job day in and day out. I am going to find some one to do the job, but because it's long weekend I need to prepare the money before hand...

Hi gasservice 1985, Thank you very much for your reply. If I decide to go for a new combi boiler instead (Immersion & Conversion to pressurised system are no long required) and other works (2,3,4, 6 & 7) are the same, roughly how much will it cost? Old boiler and cylinder are in 1st floor...

Hi Roguetrader, It's a two-storey house in Elm Park Essex, with parking and stop cock easily accessible. Thanks

Hi, I would be grateful if any of you professionals could give me a rough idea how much it will cost for the following works to be done at the same time: 1) convert open-vented system to pressurised system: boiler is Potterton Profile 60e; F&E is in the loft 2) power flush the whole...

Hi, Tony, Thanks for your reply again. Forgive my ignorance, if the blockage is at where the feed pipe joins the the system, surely it will affect both heating and hot water, not just hot water.

Hi JohnD, Thanks for your reply. I mean when I want to heat up the hot water (not open the hot tap) the water start running into the F&E.

Hi D_Hailsham, Thanks for your reply. The pump currently is set at 3. It also happens when the pump is set at 1, just takes a bit longer for the water to start running into F&E. There is only a 3 port mid position valve. I did not see any by pass between the flow and return

Hi Agile, Thanks for your reply. When both heating and hot water are on, the water starts running (properly running) into F& E via vent pipe. It's very strange that this only happens when the hot water is on.

Hi, The moment I turn on the hot water and the boiler starts firing up, water(cold or hot, depends how long the boiler is on) starts running(not just dripping) from vent pipe into F&E. However when I turn on the heating this does not happen and all the rads are nicely warm. The...

Can any one kindly let me know whether Ideal Elan 2 40 CF is a room- seal or open-flue boiler? Thanks

Thanks for the response. Since I already have a new ST6100. Can anyone help me with modifying the wiring? Thanks.

Can anyone help please? Thanks

I would be grateful for any help with my problem as below: My ST6400 is not working, my friend gave me a new ST6100. I know ST6400 is two channels and ST6100 only one channel. But I only need timer for HW because I always set heating 24/7. Can I replace my faulty ST6400 (I have a 3 port...

Hi, thanks for the replies. Since there is only one cold feed to both CH & CWSC. If I shut off the supply to this ballvalve it should terminate both cold feed to CH & hot water supply, then I can take time to drain down the CH system. (Am I wrong or right?) The problem is that it is no good to...

Thanks for your reply. Can't find any tube from the CWSC and no sign of isolation valves in the CH flow or Return. Can't reach any Elson staff, any tips, please....
