Our local council have just said that stone wall cavity insulation is now available and can be claimed under a grant (apprently in conjuction with Dyson and Scottish Power) I've now also had another insulation company sales guy out trying to flog me stone wall cavity insulation. In the...

The receiver stopped working, it was switching the boiler off but not on.

My programmable thermo needed replacing last week which I replaced with the same model (Salus RT500) However, I thought it was all sorted until I noticed that once I set the program times and temp, the central heating sometimes stays on even though it has reached the room temp. For...

I've managed to find the size of the outer pipe, it's 7cm! Right, the question is to find a blank 7cm end cap, any know which online supplier will have is? Tried the link Jack gave me but that cap is too small at 1.25" inch Thanks

Thanks for this; wouldn't the blank cap without the screw/nut be better? It is the bottom 90 degree elbow that I want to detach from the main pipe. I think 32/40 and 50mm can connect to it (don't know what size is connecting on the picture. Thanks

Hi, I'm looking to purchase a plinth heater but am unsure as to which one to purchase - electric or CH! Can anyone make any recommendations? I like the idea of the CH heater but there are not many reviews; does anyone have this type installed? Is the heat any good? Appreciate any...

Hi Over the last few weeks, the radiator in the bedroom has started to make this loud vibrating noise (sounds almost like drilling from downstairs) which seems to be coming from the termostat valve. It only happens once the CH is in full flow and warmed up. It didn't happen for a fews...

I checked this when the CH was running and could not find any leak anywhere (checked the out PRV too) I topped the boiler to about 1.4/1.5 bar and when the CH running it was running at 2.5/2.6 bar Hope this helps

Checked and everything seems fine, no water can be seen. Went round all the radiators to see if there was any leak anywhere, again all seemed fine. I suspect I may have a leak or a problem with the boiler - how can I find out for sure what/where the problem is? Thanks

Hi, I had a Vaillant Eco28 boiler installed just over a month ago; all well until the last 6 days. The bar pressure keeps dropping and I'm constantly having to top it to 1.2/1.5 (almost every other day) Can anyone suggest what seems to be the problem and why the pressure is falling...

Hmmm :? The inspector has been on-site and signed off the work in all the stages; so everything apart from the IC is fine. I've got no plans to sell the house so I'm not really bothered about the completion certificate if I'm honest - I know the work has been done exactly how BR has...

Thanks - I appreciate your advice So final questions; If I refuse to install the IC; what can building control do? I assume only the completion certificate won't be given?
