Refer to the boiler Installation Instructions. Your boiler manufacturer recommends filling a clean system with potable water and no inhibitors.

There is much to be said for fitting a four pipe system boiler with weather compensation. You would disconnect the radiators from the thermal store, and connect them to the radiator output on the new boiler. The boiler will then condense most or all of the time in central heating mode, which it...

Bear in mind that an 'opening' means the opening part of a window or door, not fixed glass. Take advice from your Installer, who must know these things.

Several, since you ask. However, I posted my previous reply before we were told it had to be oil fired.

The really crucial thing is the dynamic flowrate of the cold water main. Go for a single powerful combi if you like the idea. A 35kW combi with a good water main behind it should drive two suitable combi-compatible showers. The disadvantage to fitting a combi plus an unvented cylinder is that...

That looks a lovely house. As you plan to live there long-term, invest in quality equipment and simple but effective controls. Don't be talked into a showy plant room, keep it simple. There is something to be said for two entirely separate systems, downstairs and upstairs, for instance. You then...

It may have been just the Synchron motor, as someone else advised you. They're easy enough to change.

That is perfectly normal, it is carbonised oil. These often require cleaning twice yearly. A good clean blue flame is fine. People have been using these and setting them up without fancy kit for decades.

After 5 pages of trash, there are in fact good, well made boilers available. They can be fitted with on-board controls to give the best control, convenience and fuel economy. This includes cascade controls for multiple boilers and for multiple zones if required. Remotes, wireless and Apps can...

There are people who can walk only a short distance. You are fortunate if you are not one of them.

The behaviour of some of the respondents on this thread has been disgraceful. Come on guys, just be good and helpful. That's all.

No, unfortunately not. That's why I'm still working full time. Not everyone in my generation is rolling in it.

As far as disabled parking spaces go, the clue is in the name. You do not truly understand this until you have to care for someone who is disabled. Be grateful, thoughtful and considerate if you are not disabled.

She's just 19 and I'm nearly 68!

What you have is a true septic tank. There was one where I was brought up, it was put in 11 years before I was born, and it worked without trouble until the village went on to mains sewers, 30 years after it was installed. I don't remember it ever having any attention, even when the main drain...
