just had out new oak staircase fitted and carpeted, however, to fit the new staircase the guys doing the work had to cut out small parts of the carpet at the bottom of the stairs (see attached pic). The carpet fitters have said they don't recommend filling in the gaps in the carpet as it will...

I've taken all trv heads off, sprayed sum wd40 on the pins but again this does not seemed to have made any difference to the heat of the rads. The cycle has also remained the same. The latest plumber seemed to think a new valve (don't know which) would solve the problem.......does this...

yes, the boiler temp is still going up to 75 and then drops right back down.....over and over again. we have trv's on 8 of the 9 rads, the only 1 that does not have a trv fitted is the rad in the hallway, which probably gets the hottest out of all the rads.

also noticed that the heating appears to work better when the hot water is not on at the same time......any ideas???

Update........ Unfortunately it doesnt seemed to have made much difference. We are still having the same problem as before in that the majority of radiators take a good few hours to heat up and even then they dont fully heat up and some hardly at all. We had the room thermostat to 20c last...

Ok, ive adjusted the output of the boiler to 15KW........hopefully, we will see some improvement in the CH..... Many thanks for all your help

The house was built in approx 1970. Is adjusting the output to the boiler something I am able to do or should I get somebody in to do this?

We only purchased the house about a month ago, I believe the boiler was installed in late 2010. Ive just had a quick look at the link you gave and its come out at 13.6KW. Are you saying that if we were to add more rads or upgrade the existing ones then that will help? We are having some work...

Bedroom 2.......which is at the front of the house on the ground floor.........

Ive checked all 9 rads and only 1 in the bedroom has a single fin. As far as I can see none of the others have any fins......

I have made a note of the values at the start, after 5mins, 10mins and 20mins of the CH being on. After about 5/10mins of the boiler being on, a fault code showed....F25, i reset the boiler, the fault hasnt showed again (yet)...... Start – d.40 – 24 d.41 – 18 5mins – d.40 – 52 d.41 – 33...

Sorry to ask so many questions but how will i know when the boiler shuts off and how often does it happen? Thanks

Do you mean when the ch reaches the set temperature and then turns off? If so, because the heating isnt working it doesnt ever get to the point of reaching the temperature and therefore doesnt turn off, if that makes sense? Thanks

when you say 'shuts off', do you mean when we turn the CH off? Excuse my complete lack of knowledge!! :D :D

Here is a list of the radiators, there are actually 9 not 8 as 1st stated... Lounge - 1910mm x 580mm – single panel Lounge2 – 1750mm x 740mm – single panel Hallway – 1440mm x 600mm – single panel Bedroom1 – 1600mm x 600mm – single panel Bedroom2 – 1590mm x 600mm – double panel Bedroom3 –...
