Pictures would be difficult and not show very much Is a sludge remover worth a try?

Hi There is water in the header tank. The valves are open, they shouldn't have changed as they are out of the way and so nobody would think to close them, but I have checked them anyway! Is a magnet they best way? Or is there an easier way? Dave

Valves are open. Think I'll start looking for blockages. May try flushing the system using the pipes to the towel rail. What do you think? Dave

Hi It is an open vent system. I have checked the air vent by the hot water tank, ok and bled the towel rail also ok. I have set the diverter valve to manual. The central heating rads are all hot, the towel rail is vaguely warm but no more, one pipe warmer than the other The pipe leading...

Thanks for your help, looks like I'm going to have to hit it with a hammer and hope I can save the cupboard. I can fell three blobs of silicone but they are in the most inaccessible places!

Hi, I am trying to remove a corner basin which has a crack in it. It rests on a cupboard and there doesn't seem to be anything holding it on to the wall or the cupboard but having taken off the waste and the tap connectors I thought it would lift off but it won't! The new one has no holes or...
