ok, thanks. Duff info from another forum!! :roll:

Its not easy to check the pipes as they are under concrete, but there are two drain cocks for the system outside. I'm assuming that this indicates two pipes. Also I had a new boiler fitted in 2006 by a reputable company, am I right in thinking that it is against regulations to fit a new boiler...

Dick, you have made me wonder whether I have a 2 pipe system. Is there an easy way to tell, by looking at the pipework around the hot water tank?

The property was built in early sixties, I'm certain it has a two pipe system. Thank you

It will be a very small rad as it is going in the loo. Thanks for your help Red

Hi I'm no expert but I have had a lot of problems with my roof, I would suggest that you let the valley dry out as much as you can before you cover it. Red

Hi We've recently had a conservatory built and the contractors had to install a new soakaway pipe. They put pea shingle on top of the pipe before backfilling but I understand this is not correct and it should be builder's or sharp sand. Hope this helps. Red

Hi I have a Karcher Pressure washer which has lost most of it's pressure. When it is switched to pressure wash but you release the water trigger, the motor/compressor still 'hunts' instead switching off. Any ideas as to the cause? Many thanks Red

Hi I want to fit a new radiator to the existing CH system. The 22mm flow and return pipes from the boiler are buried in the concrete floor of my bungalow. Is it OK to T-off the 15mm pipes above the floor feeding an existing radiator? Any help gratefully received. Thanks Red
