Waste of money or not?

Or is it just a waste of money?

so how do identify which one it is - without trial and error?

Ok - so I have tried that - put them on the shower and the bath - but no change. still the same problem. when I isolate the cold feed to the boiler and turn on the hot - there is still cold water coming out of the taps - does this just mean that I have to put them on ALL of the taps in the house?

Thank you Dan. I will give it a go at the weekend. How close to the taps do the valves need to be?

Hi. I have done that and the hot tap is still running.... How can i remedy this?

I know - and I really appreciate the help - I am just so fed up with people coming around to my house and not fixing it and then charging me for "work carried out". sorry. and thanks again.

Pixie dust I think. Ok - point taken. So it would seem that I, yet again, have to come along behind a "professional" tradesman and sort out poor (and expensive) "workmanship"

but the shower was literally just moved from one wall to another - nothing was unplumbed for it.

no - the shower was just moved - the bath and sink in the bathroom are new taps... they are the "waterfall" type.

ok... - but it is happening on all of the taps in the house - or will putting them on the bath supplies solve the rest of it as well? (thanks for your help btw - (y))

so... what to do? is it easy to remedy?

well if that was the case - surely the hot water would be coming through the cold tap?

Ok done that. Still no joy... Any ideas?

can I unblock it myself?

But at least I have saved myself £160 quid - which seems a lot for what was actually involved!) Heating is working fine BTW

ha ha! no! - it was a plumber that came around and told me that firstly it was the heat exchanger that needed cleaning off - so he did that - I paid him, it didn't work - he came back and then said it was something else (which I cant remember exactly - but it cost me £80) then didn't work and...

Hi Terry, Yes - we do that - but it goes hot, then tepid again. Annoying!!!!

Hi Tony, We a plumber came around and said that it needed doing. If the flow rate is more than 9 litres per min - how do I reduce it? thanks John

hi, I have done this and it went fine - thank you - sadly still no hot water without running a cold tap somewhere else - it fires up but goes cold - it is like there is too much cold in the system? advice?
