We do this work for around 5k usually. I would not fit a megaflow as they have no expansion vessel and tend to leak after around six months from the safety valve.Mrcentral heating do better ones on the net.I prefer valiant but thats down to personal choice. Say the tank is 650,boiler 1100...

could be several things Blocked pipe, rad stat jammed or air lock.Easiest way to find out is to turn the rad valves off and remove the rad. then carefully bleed each rad valve in to a bucket.Then you know where the flow has stopped.

To take the pump out is where I would start but this can be problematic so call a professional. any amount of advice will not solve your problem.

yep 7x2 in old money that will be half the span plus one inch gives you the 7 anything over 14ft goes to 3 inch timber

Check out the HSE website. It gives you all of the information that you may wish to follow. Search asbestos on the site, its all there on how to both remove them and safely dispose of them. your local council will pick them up for 50 squid and that includes anything up to a maximum load of 1...

I am afraid you are being too picky about the balancing,just adjust the system until they all get hot at the same time. It would be impossible to adjust any system to this degree of accuracy.

Well let me say, i do not worry about my health at all, I smoke, eat rubbish and generally still try to pretend I am 20 but the asbestos fibers from the water mains apparently amount to up to 1,000,000 per liter. Now I know that the said fibers are on the low scale of the cancer generating type...

One thing that occurred to me is this. For a solder joint to leak it is faulty workmanship, so how can you be held accountable for a joint not being made correctly.

I did not pick up all of the thread but I have had some dealings with these boilers.Firstly I attended one that had caught on fire literally. It was the control box and precisely the relay that switched the gas valve on and off. the customer had no room stat fitted and I can not remember the...

Hi its probably one of two things. Firstly you could have a dodgy fan that is vibrating as it reaches speed. secondly you could have some buffeting where the gas air mixture is having problems in ignition. There are many reasons why this could be the cause.Normally it is not very dangerous but i...

Well that is a good point but as read it they stated it as a cooker connection point so I assume that is what they meant. These have to be fixed securely

Yep, I get the picture, I have a good tolerance of red hot curries and I wonder now if its because of my youth, partly spent happily removing the stuff. sometimes the lower half of my body looses some control though the morning after if Ive done 5 cobras. Personally, I don't worry about my...

No worries, just hope this person does not have to pay for it Best wishes. P.S. Ime not a baxiengineer just a plain old heating engineer who got stuffed by Baxi many moons ago, but I wont go in to that suffice to say, i aint been back

I was surprised to hear that we have miles of asbestos water mains in use and that the gov consider that there is no health risk. It appears that we may consume vast quantities of asbestos due to the pipes. Quite alarming really :?:

The regulations cover All gas pipes and fittings period.you can not exempt part of the gas installation just because there is no appliance fitted. Phone gas safe if you need confirmation
