Hope not :o but just ran a bath and lots of black plastic swarf in bath- the buggers didnt clean the tank when they drilled it did they!! Think ill go up with the fish net 2mora and clean it out!

i fancied putting some new ones at basin as well plus ive got a tile to change behind basin. but doesnt matter now i think its fixed.

Ha ha, that did it! you posted it while i was making a coffee, i gave it a try while standing near kettle and 10 secs later i ran the hot and it keeps running, cheers for that hopefully thats it. god i didnt even need to go to the van for tools, top chap :lol:

Kitchen is a living nightmare in plumbing! Could i lift basin off in bathroom and use the cold tap to flush the hot back there?

Im guessing the cold mains feed is via the tank in the loft, comes down through a gate valve (which is open) past a drain loop and into the hot water tank? And there is probs some crap between the loft tank and the boiler? So where is the narrowist point? and what should i do?

No wheels on the valves it was badly leaking into living room so turned off boiler, and turned off the cold water feed incoming to house and turned both hot and cold taps on until they stopped and i replaced both valves just incase and put them in a more accessible place.

how will i do that?

All hot taps are the same, if i leave the water to heat up 10 mins i get bout half sink of water on any tap i try then nothing up stairs and just a dribble downstairs.

Oh and its a baxi potterton promax HE boiler with no pressure guages anywhere on the system.

Hope some one can help, I had a leaky isolator valve on the hot tap below the bath so i drained the hot water and replaced the valve and now i only get a very small amount of hot water from any tap before the water stops and i have to wait ages for more water. Ive got a condensing boiler down...
