Thanks Gazman - now sorted (y)

Hi I have a draught from my upvc door down the lock side and it feels like the door needs some compression adjustment to move it tighter to frame when closed. Unfortunately the compression adjustments on the 3 hinges appear to be stuck and will not tighten or release without rounding the...

Again thanks for the replies - If i was to use Plywood would I need to use additional bearers or simply lay it direct on top of the joists?

Thanks ABC - You mention only needing 6 posts would that be 1 in each corner and the other 2 in the middle? Also if you don't mind me asking, what did you use for your flooring?

Hi thanks for the suggestion but would these not leave the floor bouncy?

Hi I have been given a timber shed 16'x9' which currently sits on a concrete slab. As the only place convenient for me to place it is on a slope I was planning on building a raised deck using 4" posts and treated 6" x2"s. Do you think this would be strong enough for a shed this size? Also...

Hi hoping someone can help. A radiator got knocked off its hanger around christmas time so had to drain down the system to repair pipework. At the time i put some system cleaner in and decided to drain it down today. On fillilng had a lot of problem with an airlock however system is now full...

Hi some of my radiators are sludged up. I have put some fernox F3 cleaner in the system and now the water in the small header tank is all dirty and cloudy. Is this normal? Thanks in advance

Hi thanks for the reply have had a quote that falls in the range but thought it was a bit steep as seems a fairly straight forward swap. But guess you dont get much for your money these days..

Hi can anyone give any ball park figures for installing an oil fired boiler. Just wondering about labour costs. its an external boiler which is just replacing an old boulter bonus one on an open vented system. Thanks in advance

Hi another wee query! Would this system be suitable for a combined feed and expansion?

Thanks for the reply's. The existing boiler was a boulter bonus. The vent is on the HW side. does that mean when the CH is on there is no expansion? There is 1 heater without a trv so will this act as a bypass Wasn't sure about converting to a sealed system as the CH rads are on 10mm that...

Hi anybody able to offer some advice on my diagram would be most welcome. Cheers

MrMethane, sorry for the delay in posting back. I have lifted some floors and managed to trace the existing pipework as best i could. I have tried to draw out as per attached diagram, Thanks again

Mrmethane, Thanks yes the cold feed is close to the expansion but the feed drops into the return to the boiler. From the boiler I have flow, Pump, MV, (CH side to rads then return to Boiler) HW side (28mm) goes to Tee (expansion and Coil) before the Coil there is another Tee that goes to 3...

Hi been having another look at the pipe work and It seems after the pump is the motorised valve and on the HW side the vent is up to the F+E tank before going to the coil. The cold feed is into the return. Is this wrong as I think I have read that the vent and feed should be before the pump?

Ok cheers. Is there anything actually wrong with a set up like this? The 3 rads all have trv's so can turn them off when just want hot water in the summer time. Just wondering if this could have had anything to do with the boiler failing?

Hi looking for some advice please. Our House seems to have a fully pumped system with a mid position valve. 6 Radiators are fed off the CH side with 10mm copper presumably fed from a manifold. The HW side heats the HW Cylinder but also 3 other radiators (15mm pipe's) in an extension to the...
