Thanks - can't find the 75mm on the TP website but they do have a 69mm one, that looks close enough! Thanks.

I've recently knocked a new doorway through a wall, and am looking for 71mm ogee architrave to match the stuff I put up 7 or 8 years ago on the other doorframes - looks like architrave fashion has moved on, all I can find anywhere is smaller stuff! I think the other architrave came from...

Thanks very much - he replaced the solenoid coil today and, fingers crossed, it hasn't cut out since. And to think that Worcester Bosch quoted £230 just to come out and have a look at it....... Jeremy

Bled the system again, and also blew the feed pipe from the tank with compressed air, some gunk came through the pipe but after that the feed was good and it runs clear. Boiler fires up OK but still intermittently cuts out - no specific pattern to when it happens, what would you suggest is the...

OK John, thanks. Looks like it was running OK this morning, we'll just bleed it again if it continues to cut out, hopefully that will sort it. Jeremy

Hi. My father in law has a Worcester Bosch 12/14 Oilslave system. He went to the oiltank the other day and the valve was half turned off - he suspects that someone thought it was a tap and had been tampering with the tank. Although he turned the valve fully on again, he has had intermittent...

Wow. You're a touchy lot aren't you? Please excuse me for not knowing the right terminology for piping, or for knowing whether this was a fair rate; if I was a plumber I wouldn't need to be posting questions on this website in the first place would I? All I wanted to know was whether a day...

That's right, I'll have to take a break from lighting my cigars with £20 notes so that I can count out the cash for the plumber. Bloody inconvenient.

I want to replace an existing small radiator with a larger, single convector radiator (600 x 1200), and replace and move another by about 8ft with a single convector (600 x 1400) onto a different wall. I've asked for thermostatic valves. There's a bit of piping, and some inhibitor required...

Nice one, thanks

I live in a bungalow, and if someone is running hot water from the bath tap and I run the hot water in the kitchen at the same time, this causes an air lock. From this point forward, the hot water from the tap in the kitchen just trickles out. I have tried to run the kitchen tap whilst turning...

Thanks mate

I live in a bungalow, the condenser boiler is in the kitchen and it's a gravity fed system with the feeder tank in the loft. What other information do you need?

Thanks - I created an air lock in the boiler last time I drained the system and needed to get it sorted professionally. This was when I was told (by the British Gas man) that they create a vacuum instead of draining the whole system nowadays, to avoid such air locks. Is there a vacuum that can...

I want to move a radiator, and have been told that instead of draining the whole system down, it is now common practice to create a vacuum in the system instead. How does this work, and how is it done? Thanks for any help.
