Hi there, I would greatly appreciate some advice. My radiators upstairs are red hot whilst the downstairs ones are cold. I've looked into balancing the system and this does not help. I've also tried bleeding all of the radiators which does not help either. The pump seems to be rotating by...

Great, thanks again Hugh. Look forward to getting home tonight and having a look.

Hi there, I have a Halstead Balmoral 45F gas boiler and have recently changed the PCB (on which a component had burnt out) and the pressure switch (which I understand wasn't working). I'm not sure if the two problems were connected, but I changed what needed changing. Now, when I turn the...

Hi, I would be very grateful if i could get some advice on new foul drainage to an extension i am currently designing for a friend. Currently, there is an SVP that runs to a private Inspection chamber with an invert level of 200mm only. The foul drain has very little backfill above. We...
