Yeah, I would have hoped for options on his visit

They put a zero warranty disclaimer on the job before the payment, however their engineer gave super confidence during the 3 hours he was here, saying he'd been doing similar for 7 years, and that it would take force to break his repair

Worth a shot thank you, feel I should have come to you guys first than spend £255 with MagicMan

Here is now

Here is before magicman visited

Hi there, our uPVC front door step has beading around the base that is vulnerable to being stepped on as people walk through. Magicman have been in and repaired it last week, but given it's vulnerable location could not warrant the work. Now I feel stupid that I didn't choose something else as...

Hi John, he said he slackened the auto breather nut, and said they were prone to leaking so I think that's shut. He installed a pump from a respected local firm "Stuart turners", it's lost the LED display that I had on the Grundfos. I was sceptical about the pump as it wasn't that old. Sorry...

Shower pump doesn't draw off a Surrey flange by looks of it

Another plumber rang me when I said I'd found someone, and queried whether our Aqua Lisa power shower has a Surrey flange between it and the cylinder. No is the answer. Also, the phenomenon when two hot taps compete with each other and splutter, might suggest pour flow into the loft tanks...

Plumber has just spent 3 hours onsite, diagnosing this air problem. Pump replaced (second time in 11 years we've been here), he said the impeller was in pieces??, yet still there is much air circulating when on hw cycle. When we switch to CH and HW we get very little air noise. After checking...

Just seen your edits. May I ask what purpose the bypass valve and pipe serves? If it's shut, what is it preventing please?

Recorded this with just HW cycle, typical that it didn't flare up, but then we've not drawn a full bath of water tonight. At one minute is probably noisest water, but nothing like the problem sounds and at 3mins I turn tank thermostat down to cease the cycle...

Pipe up to AVV feels cool when compared to the through -pipe just below it. This suggests it's full of air perhaps and that the cap might not be venting like it should please?

Startng to lose me now. The pump is upstairs but about 6' from the boiler. Whilst I await a plumber, is all the pipe banging (for perhaps 10 seconds) fairly harmless, and will the boiler protect itself, a WB Greenstar Ri condensing. Just need to stop worrying about it really

It was just the CH when it read 19W. It's safe to remove the cap nut, water's not going to come gushing out then? ;-)

Hope this is clearer? You're not near Reading are you? ;-)

No obvious arrows

This is the jumble of pipes, the red arrow on one photo leads to the other red arrow where the pipe seems to split to two sizes

I hear a big bubble of air in what I think is the hot water tank most days hours after the heating has turned off.

Sorry John, I'm a wimp with this sort of thing and the shallow pitch on our house roof makes me claustrophobic in the loft. I don't mind paying a plumber, so long as they know what they're doing, and sometimes local plumber needs 3 visits to fix a leaking toilet cistern.
