Hi Im after some help please. The hot water in my shower started going intermittent hot and cold and did not really get that hot. Its not electric, it runs from the boiler with the hot and cold going into a thermostat that you control. I thought the cartridge in the thermostat had gone so...

thanks for the reply, I will have a think about it and speak to an engineer

Guys Thanks for your reply. We were looking at getting these or but we were advised that unless you spend a lot of money on the tall spacer savers they don't give out as much heat, and its better to get a longer one that runs low, a traditional radiator. is that true? is there a difference in...

Hi there, I really appreciate your reply. Do u have and advise on burying pipes ? If we go this I guess we have to bury the pipes under a new solid floor, is this advisable?

Hi there I’m after some advise about taller space saving radiators. We were looking at getting them to free up space in the wall. But a few people have said that they are not as good as the regular wall rads. They are say the heat output is not as good. does any one have and advise please?

Thanks for the advise!! so i guess I can look at getting rid of the old one pipe system downstairs and creating a 2 pipe system without needing to connect pipes to the upstairs. But do u know if you get better heating if you connect to the upstairs rads or is there no difference? Thanks!

Thanks! I was just confused as it it looks like two pipes coming from the boiler to the downstairs radiators and each rad downstairs has 2 pipes that goes into the ground. but you are saying this is possible? There is an old cast iron one but also 3 newer ones we are looking at getting an...

Hi terry Thanks for taking a look when all the upstairs thermostats are off they heat better but still not great. I will try turning all the lock shields and see what happens.I think it’s the set up of the pipe work maybe? By the fact the plumber mentioned 1 pipe system but I’m not sure. Do I...

I’m after some advise if anyone can please help me. I moved into an old house and there were no radiators upstairs apart from in the bathroom. There were old radiators downstairs. We had a new Boiler fitted down stairs and radiators and new pipe work upstairs, and these radiators get very not...

Hi thanks for the reply, it’s not possible to move it I’m afraid. I’m also thinking of putting the foil sheets behind the radiator, I have been told that helps push out heat, is that true?Thanks for the advise I really appreciate it!

Hi I hope some can please help me I have a new tv but the only place it can go is above a radiator. I want to deflect the heat from the tv so I’m thinking of putting a shelf above it is it true that this will push more hot air into the room rather than up, so I will also get more heat into...

Hi I’m after some help please. The hot water in my shower keeps going hot and cold and does not stay hot. It’s a mixer shower with one knob to control the temperature.I changed the thermostatic cartridge and it’s a little better but still the same problem. When it’s on hot it goes cold but on...
