    I might put in a multi fuel stove.

    Primarily heat resistance. It's got to be able to withstand 1000°C for 30 minutes

    Pipe slice prices

    Quality is more important than price for me. I'd rather pay a bit extra for a decent slice that's going to last than buy the cheapest thing going. If you can make a 28mm slice that actually works properly you may be on to something though - most of them track along the pipe rather than cutting...

    Boiler installation / Ethics / General Q

    Exactly this. @Poynty claims to be "paying a premium" yet seems to have chosen the lowest possible quote from a range of box-slinging companies. The installers who subcontract to these companies are often ones who don't have enough of their own work, and rates of pay are fairly low. You'll get...

    Handheld shower outlet

    You don't, you fit it afterwards. ½" female iron in the wall for now, set to just behind the finished surface, get your tiling done then screw the outlet into the FI fitting

    Yes. The Salus Smart Home system is excellent for this

    Don't know how you'd do it without draining down unless you already have flushing connections in place?

    My open flow rate is 38 litres per minute.

    Different boiler. Wasn't a fan of the original Navien range but this is from the new range released last year

    Is This Legal?

    Legal? Yes, absolutely. Advisable? Definitely not

    My open flow rate is 38 litres per minute.

    Still specifying Intergas now and then but they've not innovated and moved on much in the last few years, and HQ is in a bit of chaos. The Xclusive is a decent boiler but can be a bit on the loud side. The Navien is very keenly priced for what you get with it.

    My open flow rate is 38 litres per minute.

    No combi on the market will do 38l/min. The Navien NCB700 54kW would be an excellent choice for you. 25l/min hot water, option of secondary circulation so positioning is less of an issue, 12 year warranty, stainless heat exchanger, and very keenly priced...

    Is this meter installation safe?

    It does need supporting both sides but highly unlikely that OVO would have altered the pipework. It would probably have been like that on the previous meter installation

    Central heating installation HELP!

    Never heard "top of the line" and 'Ideal" in the same sentence before. The Vogue is OK I suppose, the Logic is definitely well below average and 16 months worth of production are currently subject to a safety recall. They do both have an internal bypass but weirdly the installation instructions...

    Condensation inside boiler housing, dripping out - Worcester Bosch Combi

    Leaking burner gasket is most likely, in which case it needs to be turned off and not used again until it's fixed

    Viessmann system boiler 100W or 200W

    The Heat Only version of the Viessmann 100-W is NOT OpenTherm - caught me out the first time I fitted one.

    New Boiler to replace Potterton Netaheat

    Viessmann B1GA 100-W if you're wanting to stay open-vented. If you're going to sealed system then either Vaillant ecotec plus or Intergas Xclusive
