My heating system is banging "loudly" I have a Potterton Suprema 60 Boiler. Had a plumber look at it and he opened and left open the filling valve. The gauge is at zero but it always has been so I thing its broke and not registering the pressure. The sstem was still banging even with the fill...

thanks wiggikins...do you just use the blow lamp to remove the crap...I have one and I've borrowed a Immersion spanner

what about the bead type...have you heard anything about this

I've heard mixed reports on insulating Cavity walls...I was at a recent Home exhibition...lots of companies promoting it....there was an architech who was against the idea....anyone got any thoughts??

Any tips for changing an immersion heater in my cylinder?

I want to replace an existing single Radiator to a double...size 460mm x 1300m....any idea if you can get an exact match...don't want to move pipes

That was my plan...any type you can recommend for high out put

I want to change a single panel radiator which does not give much heat (I thinks its passed its sell by date!) pipes are fixed in the floor..any suggestions, I want something that will give me a high out put of heat in the room....the room has always been cold even when the haeting is on.

Thanks for your help John, i'll try your suggestionon the sink mixing valves.....the shower mixing set would have to be mains fed... none of mine are so i think that rules the showers out....right??
