Hi. I have a double width garage built of a single skin of bricks. I would like to extend my garage, ideally upwards, by simply adding about 1m worth of bricks and then replacing the existing roof. Reason for this is to get a 4 post car lift in it as i love cars and i could store one under the...

I live in a fairly large house that is over 3 stories and has 22 radiators. The house is approx 8 years old and has a condensing boiler (Potterton) and a Grundfos 15/60 pump with a microbore sealed CH system operating at 1.5 bar. Last year i put in some bigger radiators as the original house...

Right, guy has been back today. Took the burner out and hoovered off any debris and bits and pieces that were in the combustion chamber. Such as, the burnt gasket crumbs. He said there was a lot of debris at the top of the flue where the gases/heat escape to the outside world. Apparently...

Once again thanks for the bits and pieces of help. The guy is coming back next week. I am still none the wiser as to what the problem is but have read a previous thread from here where someone stars a similar problem. The reply was along the lines of new burner, new heat exchanger and...

The plumber I use is gas safe registered ? Used him before and has top rating on checkatrade. Appreciate the help, no smell of gas around the boiler. Any ideas why it's chewing the gaskets ?

Nope ? Would that cause door seals to be eaten up ? Lee

Hi, I have a problem with my promax 24he boiler. It keeps locking out. The main pcb has been replaced, had a new burner last year also. When replacing the pcb my plumber put a new combustion door seal in as this had burnt away. For 5 days the boiler was fine, then it started locking out again...

Ok thanks. I understand what you mean by these things but don't know enough to be able to calculate what is right or wrong. I guess it's a case of getting a professional out to advise unfortunately for me. I was hoping most people would say a 20A would be fine. I was also adised myabe to...

Thanks for the replies guys. Please bear in mind i know very little on this matter. What do you mean by radial, consumer unit to the sockets and right back to the consumer unit again ? What is meant by thermal insulation ? - The cable i believe is just in its sleeve and in a plastic...

Hi. Can anyone help me please. I have a separate circuit for my garage which has on it 1 x double socket and some garage lighting also. i.e when it trips out, both the lights and power sockets go off. I have a 3HP (2.2KW) air compressor that runs 95% of the time untroubled. However, when it...

The radiator in question has been untouched. It is just a case of it has not got hot since he re-filled the system. Like i said, i have bled it this morning for 2l worth of water but put the bleed screw back in and it don't get hot but it did before the system was drained and 2 new rads put in...

Thanks for the replies. I have read the links but not sure exactly where to start. I have bled an ice cream tubs worth of water out of the radiator (2l) whilst the other 2 rads on this loop were shut down altogether. There was quite a flow of water but all cold. It did start to warm a little at...

Hi. I have recently had a couple of radiators moved and a new CH pump fitted.The system before the upgrades worked fine with all radiators getting hot albeit, some of them slowly ! Since the upgrades we now have a raidiator in an en suite bathroom which is stone cold ?? We have a...
