The problem has been fixed. Found a special filter on the return pipe (not a y strainer but actually an inline filter) that was roughly 60% blocked with sediment. This was reducing the return pipe diameter by probably about half hence leading to poor circulation. We cleared it and circulation is...

Both sets of pumps are definitely working. On the radiator circuit return before the Tee connection there is something called a Tacometer which has a directional arrow but im not sure what it actually does. I actually closed off the flow and return to the megaflow circuit but it had no...

I hope someone here can shed some light on my problem. There appears to be some kind of circulation problem on the central heating side of the system but I am unsure of the cause. We have a low loss header fed by two keston C55 boilers. When the bypass valve is closed there is a pressure...

Thanks for all the replies. I have a fairer idea of what to expect now. I guess its just a monopoly at the end of the day. People have no choice but to pay.

So Seco whats the cheaper way then?

Sorry for starting a battle it was not my intention heh! I know the regs but perhaps ill make it a little more clear. This is the scenario: 1. Boiler is to go in the loft so vertical flue through the roof. 2. Vaillant boiler 3. Boiler is wall mounted. 4. Gas pipework is sufficient...

LOL clearly I seem to be a little off the mark hehe. What about these CORGI companies that charge £50 per hour labour. Even at 4 hours thats £200.00 or is there something "special" going on with a replacement boiler?...

Hello everyone. I am looking to replace an old boiler with a new one. Since the flow / return pipework is already there is I am assuming it can be almost straight swap and then tested for CO2 etc. If I buy the boiler myself what would be a rough cost for this? £100.00? Thanks.
