Hi, I just thought that for the benefit of this thread (as it has now been replied to many times), i would upload a few photos of what the current radiators look like. :) I hope that next year, adding new radiators (plus TRVs to secure the building reg cert) to complement my new boiler will be...

Hi, Thanks for all of the input into this thread. I learn lots by reading others opinions. :) Actually, the boiler installer didn't say they were inefficient as such... just that new ones would be better for a number of reasons. I probably used the wrong word when trying to sum them up for...

Hi, My ancient boiler was on the blink and so i had to decide rather quickly what to do, within budget. The ancient faulty Baxi boiler powering a water cyclinder had simply reached end of life. At this time, the only issue with completely replacing the entire system (new radiators...

Hi, I need to be 100% sure i understand so please go easy. :) Does your comment mean that not having any TRVs fitted DOES invalidate a boiler warranty or that it is a load of rubbish if someone says that to you meaning the boiler warranty is fine without TRVs fitted? I'm guessing it's a...

Thanks for the input. I will have to ask them again and see if i get anywhere. I'm not sure what counts as a completely new installation. I had an old heat only boiler downstairs in the kitchen powering a copper water cyclinder in the airing cupboard upstairs. Now, i have only the new...

Thanks for both of the links. I can't find the Baxi WM38/3 RS boiler on any of the links so hopefully all is good. It just struck me as odd having soft white fibrous (could press in and crumble with finger) boards in place, as per the photos. I believe the boiler was released around 1986...

Hi Please can a knowledgeable person tell me if the Baxi WM 38 boiler is known to contain asbestos insulation boards inside? I am in the middle if having it upgraded and have had the new boiler moved to a new location. The Baxi shell is still iin place awaiting removal from the wall but I...

Hi, I had my old soffits and fascia boards removed recently and replaced with uPCV materials. The fascia is a tall fascia and was orignally 3 strips of wood high (40-50cm), the gutter being attached to the top section of wood. As the workmen were fitting the replacement uPCV, they told me...
