Thanks for that opps, rang Bnq this morning who were useless...........i hung up when they passed me onto the 4th person who 'could give me advice'........complete joke of a 'service' Emulsion on the metal poles isnt going to cut it i dont think, i did try a sample area and the paint just chips...

I have just finished installing some room divider panels from BnQ. I have used the good home alara range as seen in the link below. https://www.diy.com/departments/doors-windows/internal-doors/room-dividers/DIY570035.cat?Range=Alara These are paintable according to the instructions/website but...

telford tornado stainless. The system has a red expansion vessel on the outside which is at 1 bar, presumably this is the heating. The cylinder has a white vessel inside it from what i could see which was split.

Following on from my post a few days ago looking regarding my broken water cylinder i had a plumber come out to quote me to fix. He pointed out what had happened. There is an expansion vessel (white coloured) actually inside the unvented cylinder. The expansion vessel had a big split in the top...

so new boiler and new unvented tank...........likely cost including labour? vs the cost of converting to combi boiler? although i acknowledge that im not a fan of combi boilers either and im guessing the fact i have a bath and water fed shower will mean a decent size combi would be needed to...

Just a thought i have had overnight. The just replaceing the tank seems the cheapest and best solution but is there an argument to be had that because the boiler is 15/16 year old i could end up replacing that aswell soon? It is a glowworm boiler but im unsure how good/long they generally last.

Thanks quilts i would make sure to check for qualification. The current tank is a telford although google tells me several brands are available, any to stay away from in particular? Is it worth replacing the 15 year old pump at the same time? Is that £800 including Labour?

Ok so keeping the system looks best (not a fan of combi's myself to be honest). Is the qualification for unvented cyclinders common, obviously when i speak to someone about it they will tell me if they have it or not. The property has one bath and one water fed shower in a seperate en-suite. Am...

Would appreciate some general advice on the following please. Our system comprises of a glow-worm boiler and a tornado stainless 170 litre unvented tank upstairs in the airing cupboard. On the top of this is a little red expansion vessel with a gauge on it. There is nothing in the loft. Is this...

Thanks for the reply guys. Turned out to be the 3 port valve had been wired incorrectly by the guy who replaced it last time. Hope the thread may help others in the future!

Hi guys, just after some pointers as to where might be a good place to start with a certain fault on a central heating system. The system i believe is what you call a Y-plan type. It consists of boiler, room stat, 3 port valve, timer and cylinder stat. There is also a water tank in the loft...

In that case its likely ok....i have just used engineer utilities to view zone status and the PIR's cannot be activated if they have been activated within the last 3 minutes, they just stay as 'secure' on the screen. If you wait 3 minutes or more they will then show 'active'. I didnt know this...

when you say activation, do you mean alarm activation, i.e they detect...........or when the alarm is armed?

I have just tried setting the alarm, (as normal, no longer in eng mode and the 2 PW-W's in the living room and kitchen dont work at all.........now im confused. Having checked the program they are set correctly im sure, auto richocet device type, guard attribute, guard zone type, Any ideas...

Thanks secure, added the second bell and extra zones no problem. Method i used was to learn the sounder and then send over the panel data into wintex. I then added the 2 extra wired zones to the program and sent back, all working great. One further question if i may, i installed this system as...

Hi. I have a Prem elite 64w panel. I wish to add a couple of hard wired zones and a second wireless sounder. I have modified the program on wintex to account for the new hard wired zones. What is the best sequence which to do all this as i had a few issues last time with the richocet and mesh...

Will be taking delivery of a Dunster House log cabin shortly and was wondering what the best reasonably priced treatment/stain was? It is spruce wood and quite light looking. I would like to treat it for protection against the elements but maintain the same or similar colour. Anyone any...

Much much prefer wired myself and did this wired where possible but with it being one of these modern chipboard houses, some of the runs were not worth the pain. This was my first Texecom wireless and tbh, ive been impressed with its performance thus far. Will play safe and change batteries...

Thanks secure, i am going to go wireless as i have plenty of spare zones available, cant wait to have another go at doing the mesh again........it seemed way more complicated than programming a wired panel last time i did it. As a side note, how often should i be replacing the batteries in the...

My concern from what i have read on other sites is just that yes, water running onto and under the base and rotting the bearers. I will be fitting a guttering to take the water away from the roof and even though the bearers are pressure treated, i will add a coating or two of preservative...
