Sorry, I'm not sure about how it is all setup fully as it was done before I bought the house. The rads will work but not amazingly but I'd accept that if I could just get everything to work at once. It seems like it's a choice between the ufh or the rads or the hot water tank! My heating guy...

Thanks, I think my issue is slightly different as the heating can be on for hours but it's not powerfull enough to heat the ufh, rads and hot water at the same time.

Also.. my old threads are not for this house as we didn't live here then. Had issues at the last house but I think that was a water pressure issue.

Hi, yeah, it has its own manifold and pump and there are 8 ports on it (sorry if I'm not getting the terminology correct). I put the central heating on alone yesterday and it worked better. It's still not amazing but most of the rads heated up. Not sure if the pump is on the flow or return...

Any other thoughts after seeing the pics? My hive app just shows that the UFH and Rads are pretty much on all the time trying to get the rooms to 18 degrees. The Rads are not even working it seems as the UFH is taking everything. I think everything in the boiler cupboard is new except the boiler...

Hi, 11 rads and a two zone ufh system. I think it's definitely a bad design as it's an old house and the rads have been changed over the years and removed with the introduction of the ufh to then remove extra rads. It's a pretty big house so there's quite a distance for the water to flow around...

Hi, I've had three different heating engineers out to look at my radiators as they just don't heat up as you'd hope/expect! They still don't work great so I'm wondering if I got a new very powerful pump, could that help push the hot water around better? We have a load of rads and also a two...

Hi Does anybody know of any compatible cameras that can be attached/connected to the Yale Smart Home Alarm Kit? The Yale ones seem quite expensive. Thanks

Did a bit more searching and guess i need something like this..... http://www.screwfix.com/p/qpl-3-way-valved-manifold/79396 Does this look OK? It says 10mm & 15mm and i think the pipe i have is 22mm to go to my other property. Should i find one bigger or just get an adapter as the back...

Hi My property is a back to back but the water supply that comes in from the road serves me, the back to back house and the detached house next door (long story but the guy that built the house next door hooked in to this supply because he bought both houses at one time, i now own them both...

Hi Please can anyone recommend a good woodworm/insect treatment to spray in a house i have gutted. There is some evidence of woodworm but i'm not sure if it is still infected. Now that i have the ceilings down and the carpets up, i would like to spray all over to just reassure myself. I...

Hi I have read conflicting views on what plasterboard to use in a bathroom. The bathroom will not have a separate shower. It will have a bath/shower so i intend to tile around the bath/shower but just paint the rest of the bathroom. Is it best to tile onto Aquapanel? And is Aquapanel the...

Hi I am thinking of doing a cellar conversion into a Kitchen. There is currently access to the cellar from the side via a door and it can also be accessed via stairs from the floor above. The door opens onto a neighbours property and i would like to remove the door and put in a frosted...

Hi I am wondering if anyone can give me some advice. I have some old blue slate roof tiles that i would like to put on the wall behind my new shower. What i am unsure about is if it will work. They do not have completely straight edges and they are quite thin compared to normal wall tiles...
