Thanks for your answers. I'll give them a miss. Regards, Abe

I have found this flueless gas stove on the web. It's £850 and has a catalytic converter so that all exhaust gas can go into the (ventilated) room. Has anyone got and/or fitted one? Do you rate them? Good value? Problems? (They're British made I think.) Thanks for any help, and I...

My Flowmatic's 3bar safety valve is dripping and the water pressure fairly quickly falls below 1 bar. The guy who identified this can't or won't replace it, suggesting instead that the boiler is old (to look at it it must be between 10 and 15 years,) and I should really get a Vaillant...
