Mate, that’s shocking! Just knocked a few thousand K off the property price. I wonder what it’s like on the pipes you can’t see under the flooring.

Did you drain the system down to fit the new radiator? Was the header tank clean and empty before draining ? So as denso 13 said, poss blockage. Simple trick that I’ve used: see FAQ 12 for a blocked header tank ( posted by Chris )

Sika B & P cleaner contains Hydrochloric acid as per the data sheet. This acid will attack SSteel.

For anyone who needs the correct size or a longer hose : 10mm

Can anyone tell me what hose I need to be able to connect to the vent of the heat exchanger to bleed the air . Will a garden hose fit this vent? Or do I need a smaller size. I only need a couple of metres. Should have been left but previous owner must have taken it. Pete

We had a leak back in Feb. Also with TW. Does any tap hiss when used…air escaping, more noticeable first thing after no usage at night. There is a chance that air from a reconnection upstream vented via your meter/property. Was able to look under our floor …all dry Was going to knockout an air...

I put it out there, Have you checked that both valves on these rads are open ( balance on each )I say this as you said New TRVs fitted, could be the installer did not open these two..

Worth checking the F&E tank level/ check for over pumping/ feed is not blocked.

Yes plenty of hot water on tap with its inbuilt hot cylinder. Told it’s easy to service as it well designed.

Ours is 4bed, 2.5 bath and the boiler as per dormermike suggestion.

Thanks Bonni & crank, very much appreciated

We are thinking of having a new composite door supplied and fitted by Value doors. We don’t have any knowledge of the types of construction and what we should expect and lookout for except to say this door has a wooden infill. Any thoughts or suggestions would be very welcome and much appreciated.

Well my idea of a quick look is shelved. I take on board all the comments and I value my back over my inquisitive nature. It’s not a problem and hope I never need to have it lifted. Thanks for all the info. Pete

You make a good point John , think best left and lifted as and when
