I believe it is the ecotec plus 32.....

Where would I find the maximum output setting any idea? On the boiler itself there is only hot water and central heating adjustments?

Hi people I have a valiant modulating boiler with smart controls and I want to make sure I have set it up correctly, as even though I have set the central heating flow temp to 65c it only shows like an average of 44c when in use, and seems to take ages to raise the room temps just 2 degrees and...

I think this might be what i need to screw into the tap tails and then plastic pipe down to a female one to go into the copper connector? https://www.amazon.co.uk/John-Guest-Straight-Adaptor-supplied/dp/B005XTZGLG

I'm certainly learning a lot today! I'm buying them right angled screwdrivers :)

This is the tap ive picked:- https://www.costco.co.uk/Home-Improvement/Bathroom/Taps/GROHE-Start-Edge-Single-Lever-Basin-Mixer-Tap-Model-23830000/p/299322 If anyone can point me in the direction of the right JG Speedfit pipes and couplers to get that would be very handy :)

Tell me about it, its an absolute nightmare turning them and I'm sure I'm going to do the valves some damage going in heavy at an angle :(

Thanks for the reply, and the advice on which nut to turn, I think extending copper runs is definitely beyond my plumbing capabilities.... Is there a way to attach my new tap flexi tails to the existing flexi with some sort of coupler?

Hi people I need to swap a basin mixer tap in my bathroom as I've swapped the cartridge a few times but it keeps breaking. I have ordered some monobloc spanners and I've watched a few videos online so I'm confident of the procedure, I'm just not confident of how to disconnect the old one first...

Thanks for taking the time to reply appreciated. Is the capacitor something I can buy from a regular shop and is it an easy install? I'm happy to have a go if it doesn't involve soldering at all.

Hi people, I know saniflo units are frowned upon but I bought a house with one in my en-suite and to be fair it's been fairly faultless if a little noisy as it is only used sporadically. Anyway over the last few days it wouldn't stop humming unless I popped the fuse out, so being keen to avoid...

Hi people, I have hanging fascia tiles at the front of my property that have been painted by the previous owners. This paint has started to peel and flake and look pretty awful. I have gone up on a ladder and attempted to scrape some paint away from a tile to see how easy they would be to...

Hi people I've used caulk around the interior of my bedroom window a couple of times now but it always develops a massive crack and I can feel lots of cold air rushing in. I think I need a flexible sealant as I assume its not sealing properly due to excessive movement and temperature...

Hi people I have a 1970s house, with a large amount of fascia tiles, and unfortunately who-ever had the house before me has painted them with the wrong type of paint, and this has lead to them peeling and looking really bad. I went up with a ladder to the lowest row and had a look at how I can...

Thanks guys, very helpful. If I buy then a couple of square right angles and a short length of square downpipe this will suffice, as in its just push fit, no other connections or sealant needed?
