Good news then, fingers crossed no more problems. Thanks very much for all the advice.

Thank you for your replies....since my post I have found one radiator that wasn't heating up. The lock shield valve was fully open but when I removed the TVR valve and tapped the stick bit the hot water started coming through. I skso checked the pump and it seems to be running ok. Since I have...

The green indicator light for my burner on my Greenstar Ri boiler keeps going out after I switch on the central heating. I have balanced all my radiators, bled all air from them, set my thermostat to a required temperature but each time I switch the heating on the burner indicator light...

Thank you Steve, I am at this point now and am insulating the floor before I lay a Vapour control sheet and then 18mm WBP ply. My last question is how do I finish the insulation around the pipes and edges of the wall? ...would expanding foam be ok around the copper heating pipes that I've...

I would like to finish this job tomorrow so if anyone can offer any advice on what to fill in around the copper pipes and walk edges that would be really helpful. I was thinking of just using expanding foam. Them finishing with a vapour control sheet and 18mm WBP ply.

I have done the below. Battons and celotex. But what about the edges and gaps where the pipes are etc. Should I use expanding foam in all tiny areas and around pipes or just leave it ?

Thank you for all the advice It's only a little downstairs loo so I've decided to lay the DPM, then batton out with 2x1 and put 25mm celotex in between. Then on top will be 18mm WBP ply before priming and tiling. Does that sound ok?

Good, thats the response I was hoping for. Many thanks. I'll shall proceed

I've put a DPM down and wrapped the copper heating pipes in gaffer tape. I hope this isn't a silly question but is there any possibility that the heating pipes will melt the DPM as its only plastic.

Ok so I've put the DPM down and wrapped the copper heating pipes in gaffer tape. I hope this isn't a silly question but is there any possibility that the heating pipes will melt the DPM as its only plastic.

Thanks Tony, I have a mate who is an electrician just checking over the electrical elememts of the heating system but it is looking as though it's a boiler fault. I will likely end up calling an engineer. M Many thanks for your reply and I hope to get it all fixed soon
