Thanks for the reply. Yes I am of the same opinion, and think the 22mm could well do with consolidation as well

I'm getting a F23 fault on my boiler, and somtimes at F28 fault with F54. Some of the 10mm plastic pipes are completely blocked with sludge or other obstruction. The property was built around 25 years ago. Previously there was an open vented central heating systems, which was converted...

I've gone into installer level on mine and there appears to be a test programme which keeps the pump running

Any luck with sorting your central heating system?

Did you have luck with using x400?

12 years on and I've thinking of doing the same. Has many people had much success in using x400 for heavily sludged systems?

I have been told galvanising on long spans can warp the steel. I would have thought these steels hould have been black jacked before they were installed - All exposed steel should be treat accordingly. There does not appear to be any weep vents or tray over the steel?

I have recently built a raised planter from decking. The decking is treated but i dont want to have it constantly saturated with water and would like to line the raised planter. What was the material you have found to have worked? I am thinking of using a 500 gauge polythene dpm material but...

Hi, I have a similar problem to what has been discussed previously. my house is built on quite a steep slope however the rear garden is graded to be level. This is done by having a retaining wall before the external wall of the house. However for some reason the owner before decided to infill...

Hi all, I have been experiencing a similar problem to this recently. I live in a victorian property with a rear yard. When i moved in there were paving slabs in the rear yard with weeds growing through, further more some of the slabs were smashed from the guys van before. I sold the good ones...

I've just stripped all the wall paper from my lounge, i discovered that the wall paper to the soffit/ceiling of the bay window has become damp. I have only lived in the property for 3 months so I am unsure if this is from a roof leak or if it is a build up of condensation? Has anyone experience...

Thanks for all your comments. I've fitted a radiator before with copper and I didn't solder the joint properly and made a mess. I think I'll go with plastic because of the speed and easier to get into the floorboards. I'm presuming it is easier to drill into joints than cut notches. My...

I'm looking to install central heating into a house built in 1899. I'm happy to take up floorboards and understand the design of central heating, however I am unsure what type of pipe to use. I'm not a plumber! I'm not sure if to use copper pipe or use plastic. I'm thinking that copper...
