I've got a leak in the somewhere in the c/h pipes (pressurised system) in the concrete sub floor. I'm proposing to disconnect this pipework from the boiler and tee off the upstairs feed and return pipes coming down the walls to the existing downstairs rads. I'll also have to run a new feed to...

Already tried it I'm afraid - pressure held up for a while (at least it only fell slowly) but it's worse now than it was before.

I'm now 100% certain that the leak in my c/h system is somewhere in the concrete subfloor. Simple question, how the heck do I find it short of digging up the entire house?? There are no visible signs. I've seen a few things on the net about infra red cameras being used to find leaks but does...

My new gaff has a sealed system which had a leaky pressure relief valve that I've now fixed. Problem is I've been continually topping up and today checked the gauge and ..... 0bar! As there was still water in the rads upstairs I'm guessing the problem's downstairs and the rads upstairs are...

Anyone know where I can get either Crabtree or MK Logic Plus unswitched 2G sockets? Not sure if either are still in production.

1. My mistake 2. I'm keen to use the largest practically possible feed cable to reduce limitations on the 'quality' of the incoming mains. I realise I'm at risk of sparking a debate about how the mains does or doesn't (believe me it does!) affect sound quality. I suppose that if I'm taking...

I want to add 2 new mains spurs (not rings). My plan is to add a new CU which will have a 100A incomer and 2 32A RCBOs. My question is how do I feed the new CU? Obviously I can't hook up to the meter but I would like to use 25mm tails to the new CU. Can I legitamately take a feed from the...
