i noticed some bubbling of the plaster around the boxing so tore some plasterboard off and noticed this cover is now leaking. i believe this is called an access saddle i would rather replace with something similar without having to cut any pipe out. will a solvent weld type one fit ok ? the...

seems the 6m head pump is what they fit now i have no idea why it has changed from the previous 7m. seems replacing most of the boiler was the fix, in other words it was worn out, lucky i had boiler insurance cover. new main HE new secondary HE new pump new electrodes new flu fan and possibly a...

i would love to check however after they fitted a brand new heat exchanger they have now advised the fan no longer works and can`t get a new one till friday morning now. They said the boiler was only providing half the heat it should do hence the new exchanger. after it is fixed i will query...

what an utter nightmare, had this boiler checked over under boiler cover agreement. engineer no1 diagnoses the heat exchanger plate is gummed up so orders a new one, made no difference heating and hot water still not great, engineer no 2 diagnoses new pump needed, brings new pump which he...

It`s a Worcester 440 high flow. i would agree after the tank has been depleted it cannot seem to keep up i don't even put the water that hot at setting 2 52c to 54c. plate heat exchanger has already been changed i noticed the central heating is not getting as hot now either on setting 5 as it...

true but this is a high flow combi boiler with a built in tank and it worked perfectly for 13 years prior.

its not that as its been ok in the past, i changed them to full turn cartridges and the flow is much better but did not solve the issue. i have a boiler plan and they have replaced the heat exchanger on the boiler the cheaper plate one, but tried to run a bath and it still goes cold after half...

yep runs cold unless you roll it back a bit

The hot goes cold i have no idea why nowhere else has a problem.

Are these taps prone to making the hot water run cold on a combi ? i have had to turn them back slightly from full to keep the water running hot. i shower mostly but they are irritating when i do fancy a bath :LOL: can i just change the cartridges to full ones will these from toolstation work...

could i just use a texecom veritas as a replacement system and keep all the pir`s and sounders ?

maybe a gsm or wired phone option maybe be cheaper. for alerts

really? basic stuff nowadays really. mains fuse is ok.

6x pir 3x door contacts all wired currently maybe some wireless pir on the garage room by back door. not many 1 or 2

yes something simple to install and reliable that can use the same wiring setup. a mix of wireless to expand it and wired capability would be nice and app notifications.
