Thanks

Not sure if this should be in Plumbing or Electrical forum. One of My tenents claims that the Gainsborough electric shower in the flat takes approx ten mins to get to reasonable temp in the morning. Does anyone have any idea what could cause this? I am considering just arranging for...

I already have. :D

I was round the flat last night and yes the benchmark paperwork has been completed, confirming he used some cleaning stuff and some inhibitor thingy too. Very happy. :D

Newcastle isnt in the north, thats the midlands. Caithness (where im from) is the north.

one is just a ensuite from the guest room, rarely used.

Its a new system, approx 18 months old, there are two radiators in the living room and they are both hot. They do get the living room warm enough but at the same time the other rooms are very warm indeed. So, if i position the stat in any other room it will turn the boiler off and the living...

I have a question about TRVs, room stats and radiators. I did a quick search but was unable to find anything concise. In our home we have a combi boiler with trvs in all the rooms except in the two bathrooms. I have thought about fitting a wireless timer/thermostat thingy but am unsure...

He left lots of paperwork, not sure what it was but there was somthing where he had did lots of box ticking and filled in some details. I dont know if he informed corgi and its probibly to soon for then to write to us if he did. The were already trvs fitted throughout the flat.

Just as an update, Work has been done, we have a 28i Junior nicely fitted in hall cupboard. Engineer came back on friday to fit our gas hob and while he was there he finished off the waste pipework from the new sink which i had fitted. He is a top man. All done for £1700 all in.

Tell me more about this. How much cleaning is required, I will be there while he is doing the work so want to make sure I see him doing this. We found this guy via the corgi site so I would hope he knows what he's doing. someone mentioned previously that the guy may not be vat...

Blimey, is that cheep?

Hi, its been almost a year since i last posted for advise on presure loss in system. My request this time is, are the quotes ive received reasonable. We have bought a flat which Im going to tidy up up a bit and rent out. At the moment it has gas heating with the boiler in the kitchen...

i just called the wife at home (extra day holiday), heating has been off since 8.00 this morning and pressure is now 0.7 bar. Small question. At what pressure would a boiler refuse to light, Im sure that even with pressure at zero the it fires up.

The pipe which i collected water from is copper and outside. The condensate pipe is also copper and ends approx 6 inches below the boiler. I think it may be lined up to drip into the washing machine waste pipe. I Have never seen it drip though, does condensate drip constantly? Strangely...
