Hi my boiler is fitted to the wall inside the kitchen cupboard you can walk inside it when it was done years back they cut holes in the door top and bottom to fit air vents wanting to replace doors do you still need vents the boiler has been replaced with valiant echo tech condenser boiler Cheers

No pics at work the now, the hole is about size of 10 pence

In the quote it said pipe work upgrade inc condensate he must’ve come across this scenario before but he never mentioned anything about it only found out by accident myself as the pipe is behind a fence in neighbours garden Asked him about it said you can’t repair cast I would have to get new...

Hi got new boiler fitted the guy installed new condensate pipe going to ground and cut the old one from cast pipe leaving hole in pipe which leaks water as the bathroom waste goes into it as well saying he can’t plug hole in cast surely he has to fix it ? Any idea best way to fix Cheers

Changed from system to combi boiler the quote included removing tank in loft after it was all done, the tank is still there the main water feed disconnect and out flow pipe but it’s still connected by this pipe don’t know why. Opinions please Cheers

Thanks for the reply’s, I’ve probably not gave the best description here’s a picture of the tank

Just replace ballcock in tank to see if it stops overflow dripping, when I drained the tank there was a ring of clear jelly around the water level is this normal ? Also is there a standerd level where the water should rise to say 2” below overflow pipe Cheers
