Hi, the pipes are really loud when I flush the upstairs toilet and seems to be better louder. Could there be air trapped? Any ideas on cause/possible solutions please? Noise in pipes sounds likes it's coming from our boiler room (which is inside the house, off the utility room). Or could it be...

Thank you for responding. We have our boiler guy coming first thing so he can replace it or fix it....it's not dripping as much at the min.

Bear with me., this is heating related: All sockets tripped -Thought it was caused by an old coffee appliance my husband was cleaning out. We checked the fuse board and the RCD wouldn't reset - unplugged everything, then reset it - sockets back. The heating system/burner had no life. Husband...

Terrwookfit Thankyou for that booklet, also ventilation is a small window with an air vent on top. Durhamplumber, good luck indeed! Gasguru ill post photos of log burner tomorrow So, he came back today. He said he couldn't smell anything, but it must be the rubber seals in the joints, took it...

Thank you Terrywookfit, I'm going to ask him to put back the black enamel pipe or a new one, and have the liner just coming down to the bottom of the chimney. Now I just have to hope he will do it and not get p'd off with me.....

I have a Co2 detector in the boiler room and there is nothing showing. The smell could be from the heat resistant silicone he used? or the liner itself?? The liner was installed by a plumber. He is coming back tomorrow - some helpful suggestions as to what I can say to him/ask him to fix...

Thanks for the feedback...so the stainless steel liner should have been put inside the original black piping? Is it dangerous if this isn't done??

Hi there, after noticing a dripping leak from the oil burner chimney pipe, we had a flue liner put in the chimney (there was none) The new flexible liner seems to be giving off a seriously strong smell, I should mention that our oil burner is inside our house in a room off the back kitchen. The...

Lostinthelight - "So does the vitrius fit into a flexible liner ? can you draw a diagram of the flue system the take a picture of it and upload?" We don't think there is a liner there -, so the plumber mentioned future proofing with a flexible liner that would fit a combi boiler when our...

Hi Guys, sorry for delay, these are some outside photos. If its just to replace/install the flexible flue liner, what would the rough price be? I'm waiting on either the plumber or roofer to come back to me, I hate chasing people. My next step is to go to the builders merchant and see if...

Thank you Oilhead, not sure, we bought the house 4 years ago but I strongly suspect the chimney is not lined as following a chimney fire in the living room we had to get it lined with flexible coil. Cowl is a 'china man hat'. lostinthelight - i'll get a photo during the day and post it. We...

HI Guys, There seems to be a leak coming from the concrete surround that the oil burner chimney pipe goes up through - see photos. We had a plumber out today who said its nothing serious...probably just rain water coming down the chimney?? He didn't do anything, suggested if we wanted to get a...

Hi there, our sun room/windows on living room are really draughty on the corners. So much so, that if you put your hand near the sill you can feel the wind coming in. Is it a builder or a window company I need to get advice from? House is only 12 years old. 3rd photo is of sill when I...

Thanks, I'll have a look a getting one of those
