Cheers for your replies, I will get a proper look and be able to be more specific once in and will post some pics, it is obvious it is damp as it's an old person's house with no central heating and the wallpaper is peeling around the bottom in places as well as evidence of salt in the lower...

Hi Not sure on the age yet as not completed on the purchase yet, once in I will get carpet up and get under the floor to have a look.

Hi I have a baxi combi 80e, when running a bath with hot water everything is ok but when the tap is turned off there is a gurgling / bubbling noise coming from the boiler and if the hot tap is turned on again whilst this is on going, there is no hot water and it doesn't fire up. If I wait...

Hi In retrospect i may not have completely shut off the valves during my first test (doh!), I did what you said and pressurised the system to 2bar then shut off the valves and left the system for 48hrs when I checked it again the pressure was still the same but as soon as i opened the valves on...

Hi Thanks for your input, i've checked it but to be on the safe side I disconnected it from the pipe going outside at the boiler and put a large sheet of blue roll directly underneath the boiler to spot any drips from inside anywhere also a container under the pressure relief valve and it is...

Hi Few weeks ago i posted a question regarding my Baxi combi series 80E and your replies were really helpful here is the post :http://www.diynot.com/forums/plumbing/baxi-combi-80e.308208/#2261191 This cured my issues but recently i've noticed the pressure dropping off so the other day I bled...

Hi I have just moved a bathroom into a smaller room and have just about finished but I want to earth bond the pluming etc, there is no electric shower in the bathroom. The shower is fixed from the wall above the bath and it is fed from a deck mounted diverter and controlled via the hot and cold...

Hi Thanks for the pointers, checked the valve and a little air came out and no water so re-pressurised it , its been on for a few hours now and pressure's holding out at around 1.4bar max on full heat. So i'll see how it goes. many thanks again Regards Chris

Hi I have a Baxi Combi 80E and recently the DHW diaphram was leaking through the centre pin, this was causing all kinds of issues like air getting in the system and after running hot water turning the tap off and if turned on again within 15 mins there was no hot water until a load of gurgling...
