That's what I thought but on the prog they clearly showed just the boiler cover being removed and they then said "that's illegal".... scaremongering then? or factually incorrect programme using incorrect advice from the "expert".

I saw this prog last night ( recorded it ages ago ). Is it right that you need to be a corgi to simply take the cover off the boiler ? what about say an electrician replacing the timer ?

Re: why have we waited 10yr: each yr the guy we get in to service the boiler puts on the comments section of the receipt that the pipe needs protecting, this yr my wife saw the receipt.............. The room is tiny and used for storage at one end and the tumble drier at the other. The pipe...
Even though the extension was built around 10yr ago ? it was also inspected and passed by the building inspector who surely must have noticed the meter and pipe away from the wall ?
So if I ring around I just need to ask if they have MET1 ?

Our gas meter was orig in a lean to brick built 'thing' on the side of the house. The 'thing' was demolished and a proper single storey extension built which was bigger. The meter is now about 1foot into the room and the pipe to the adjacent boiler ( in corner on orig outside wall of house )is...
Thanks for the quick replies. Ferroli have now replied to my email simply saying this part is now obsolete, customer care eh!
I registered on the partscenter site and had a search but didn't get far, I found a valve pack for £40+ but no description of what it consists of. I could not get to...
Hi, I had a plumber friend install two extra rads ( new extension ) for me, the two flow/ret isolation valves under the boiler are now dripping. He gave me a phone no. for HECAS in Rochdale and said he'd fit them if I get them.
HECAS tell me they're obsolete and they can't help!

In the kitchen at the company I work for there is a small electric boiler ( geyser ? ) over the sink , a mains cold water tap and an electric kettle.
I noticed today someone filled the kettle from the boiler, is this a bad idea? the boiler has been there for yrs and the water here is quite...

I have heard it's UV proof and lasts much longer than felt. If you have, how did you attach it so the wind doesn't make it billow? glue it to the roof ?

I fitted one of these last month and thought at the time that they where expecting a lot as the brackets are plastic! A chrome tube screws to the wall then a smaller tube is attached to the rad ( 4 in all ) which slides into the wall mounted one and is secured underneath with a self tapper. Two...
