Ideally the back box should be flush with the wall surface so that the face plate is snug to the back box as otherwise it does not provide the containment it should. I would fit a 25mm back box as standard unless the customer said they wanted flat plate. I really think that sometimes...

The boilers pump will handle the rads and between boiler and ufh manifold. The ufh manifold pump will pump water around the ufh circuits. Zone valves control weather either or both the rads and ufh get heat. Be aware that the ufh may suffer when the boiler is producing alot of hotwater...

Rubbish. Done properly it's very good, the problem is that few installers and fewer users really understand it. Ive got underfloor in my bathroom and youngests bedroom. It works spot on and keeps the rooms very comfortable. Ive installed it for alot of customers and without exception they...

But thats not what the op posted is it ?

If it's a common supply then you can't isolate just your section to test, which makes excavation the only real way to be sure. I had a similar issue with UU a while back where they said a sewer thT ran through my property, but didn't take my drains was my responsibility to repair. I told...

The question I would be asking is how an excavation in a neighbouring property has conclusively prooved anything other than the leak is not in that property. By way of a report that letter is a joke. No photographs, and no static pressure test results. If you have an external stop tap its...

Would put money on the neutrals being loose on the terminals. A picture of it all in situ would be more helpful.

A flue on that boiler getting to that temperature is NOT NORMAL. Melting wires is NOT NORMAL. You clearly have no idea what you are doing, so stop poking around inside something that can kill you / your family / your neighbours and get a professional in to fix the problem. Yes we all have...

I always set them straight for aesthetics, but it won't effect performance.

I was selling my stock to a metal recycler your honour. Easy lol.
