Hi guys, So the pipe to left was an old gas pipe to upstairs flat - we went up and verified. Capping it off is just as a matter of safety but it’s 1000000% dead :) and sorted now We are not 100% sure on the one on the right ‍♂️ It seems to disappear into the wall in my flat and doesn’t come...

Anyone know what these are? Gas engineer reckons they are old gas & water supply to upstairs flat. Definitely dead - with nothing in em and replaced with new supply - but he’s not sure he can get suitable sized caps to cap them off… reckons the big one is about 2 inch? Any ideas? Cheers!

Ah okay thanks mate

Ah okay mate, So do you think i should get an independent engineer or go with the Vailant fixed price? Sorry to keep asking questions I’m just trying to sort it as cheap as possible Thanks

Thanks , do you have a rough ball park figure I should be aiming for? Thanks mate

Where are you out of interest mate? London? There isn’t a label anywhere on it here’s some pics of it Does that help? Is that plate called ‘heat exhanger’ As that’s the only part Vailant won’t replace as part of the fixed price deal (as well as the ‘expansion vessel’ ) Thanks for all...

I’m in Northampton j15a of the m1

Hi mate how much do you charge for something like that? I wish you were local lol

Hi mate if the domestic side of the plate is limescaled then does that plate have to be replaced? Can it be cleaned? Can you guys please give me a ball park figure for descaling something like that Thanks in advance

Hi mate I meant the water does luke warm then warm etc. But it’s always lower than it used to be? I’m just really confused how. The Vailant fixed quote I thought would be the best best but if you think it just needs descaling I guess I could just ask local people who quotes

Hi mate no model number written anywhere on it? I fixed the pressure issue as found a heater was leaking so that’s one half resolved The temp issue remains. If it’s the secondary heat exchanger I think I’ll just get Vailant to go look at it? The water coming out the rad was BROWN and rusty...

Hi mate, so do you think the Vailant £249 fixed price repair is the best bet? It says inc all parts and labour except the ‘heat exchanger and expansion vessel’ Is the plate heat exchanger different to the main one? https://www.vaillant.co.uk/homeowners/after-sales-care-and-servicing/repair/

Yes I think I do mate, kettle gets ruined so needed to have a ‘Brita filter kettle’ I’m in Northamptonshire
