Why does he not apply for his own corgi? Problem solved

You seem to be suffering from Tap hammer. Ask your installer to come back and check your main stop cock. it will probably need replacing.

the size of the vessel depends on how many rads you have i.e. how much water is in your system. For an average 9 rad system an 18 ltr vessel should be ok. Last time i did one they were about £60 and come with full instructions. If the SRV is ok on the boiler then you just have to connest it to...

Have you tried to contact your insurance company to see if it is insured? Most fixtures and fittings, which your cylinder is, are insured under buildings insurance. The damage they cause when they leak is covered under contents insurance. Even if the insurance does not cover it, you could just...

You can buy taps for as little as £10 per pair. dont mess with old taps just fit new its easier.

ask family and friends if they have a corgi engineer you could use. Recommended engineers are best way to find one. If not try corgis corporate page in yellow pages. or go to www.corgi-gas-safety.com and look one up near you. You will only need a flue liner if the initial flue flow test...

18 BAR Thats what polypipe recommend, irang them to check. Sorry if u misunderstood i meant return fire from iraq when the fittings blew off!!!!!!!!!!!! They actually passed the test!!!!!!!! Well thats building control and architects for you.

Its probably a two inch vent pipe, they are quite common in newer properties and it will have to stay or be rerouted out of the way. Could you stud off the wall to hide it all? This will leave ample space for those concealed shower pipes.

The hot water is ok through the normal taps but not through shower probably the shower thermostat then, assuming its a thermostatic shower

Quote: the hot feed having been drawn from the lower floor hot water feed. Sounds like its not piped to the cylinder at all, in which case it will draw in air. Just like Chrisshut says.

I wouldnt run central heating pipes underground, 40ft to anywhere. Put a portable heater in and connect it to a timer.

These can cycle between firing so it depends how long you left it to relight. If its a fault then it could be the DHW flow switch, ive had a few that stick when hot. the system pressure should be around 1.3 - 1.5 bar when cold. Expect this to rise to around 2 bar when hot.

As long as you fit a suitable waste system with a trap to stop the pong coming back youll be fine.
