thanks a lot... I think I will... I had another plumber come and look who made it make more sense for me... I think I need: A power flush of 7 radiators and in-between pipework A Magna Clean or similar A flue and pressure relief valve taken up to the roof, and brickwork on outside made...

thanks Wrightstuff.. sorry, who is 'they' you are recommending? thanks D

thanks... sorry, i wouldn't have any idea... if the pipe is the one which comes from the metre box outside, it has to go from there upstairsin an N shape around 10m to the boiler... but it is more than 15mm diameter (if that is what 1.5mm means) - does any of that make sense?

thanks - I think the difference in quotes might be because your Vaillant is a better boiler than those quoted? Would your Vaillant need 22mm gas piping? ta D

as per the supposed upgrade to 28mm and 22mm, WITHOUT the boiler they would charge: OPTION 1 1. To remove existing boiler. 2. To install customers 39kw Avanta Boiler (the gas supply will have to be upgraded for the new boiler). 3. To supply and install 3 x thermostatic radiator valves...

hi folks... i was running a 24Kw Vokera on the existing piping without any real issue until it crumbled early... does that suggest that the boiler company may be making up the 15mm piping issue? And is there a way i can check ie is it as simple as checking 15mm diameter with a ruler? Also on...

Just had someone look at the flat, was suggesting I don't bother with 35KW Broag or Avanta boilers (although 5 people, two showers) because 'If you go above 29KW you wil have to change your gas piping... it has 15mm gas, andwe would have to make the first part 28mm and then take it down to 22mm...

720 to repair a vokera! EV - £100ish AAV - £15ish Couple of hours labour to fit on top. You dont need the flush to fix it. Tell him to jog on

... it's making it a lot easier! water pressure and flow has been ok so far for the two showers (upstairs one drops but doesnt disappear when downstairs in use) i am on Brixton Hill if anyone knows a decent RGI! and it seems i have been done re: repairs by the combination of HomeCall...

Hi! I currently have a Vokera Combi system which apparently leaks, and needs replacement of pressure vessel and the auto air vent AND a Power Flush. Engineers recommend an replacement, as will cost £720 to repair, with continued unreliable performance. Five people use the house in two...
