Hi everyone, and thank you yet again for your help. Firstly, it is new, I only purchased it within the last 2 weeks, so perhaps that is why I cannot find any info about the "flame symbol" on the net. Thank you for clarifying the "flame symbol" for me D. Hailsham. To warmadmax, thank you...

Hi, and thank you for your quick replies. in reply to D Hailsham, thank you, dont think I am getting muddled. I know there is a flame on the thermostat, but it is the programmer I am having trouble understanding. On the programmer, there are two green lights, one for hot water, and one for...

Hi. I enquired in November as to whether i could use a honeywell sundial rf2 pk2 with a Vailant Ecotec 624 system boiler and unvented cylinder. Thank you for your replies. I have now had this installed, but am having a problem with my hot water, and wonder if anyone could give any help or...

Hi everyone, I started this thread in November, about whether I could use a Honeywell Sundial RF2 Pk 2 with a vailant ecotec plus system boiler and unvented cylinder. Thanks for all the replies, I have had this fitted recently, but I am not sure if it is wired correctly. Could anyone...

Hi, Again, thanks very much for the replies. Having had the night off to think about how to go about this, and reading your replies, I had a go this morning to remove the broken bit in the towel radiator. I used the hex key, and also added a screwdriver in as well to make it good and tight...

Hi, thanks very much for the quick replies. I have had a look at the links, and unfortunately I dont think they will help. I will try and take a picture, but not much to see, unfortunately. I will try and explain. The radiator tail was threaded into the bottom of the towel rail, and...

Hi, I wonder if anyone could give me some advice. I have been fitting a towel radiator, and I put PTFE tape around the radiator tails which were supplied with the Towel Rail. Connected it up, and the water was coming out of where the tails were inserted. I took the towel radiator off, and...

Thanks doitall, you have been very helpful in your advice, if I need to ask any further questions, would you mind helping? Thanks to everyone who replied.

Thanks doitall, I was hopeful that Honeywell would be ok, but do you happen to know whether the wireless rf2,pk 2, would be interchangeable with the ST699 backplate please. As this is already wired in to the boiler is it just a case of replacing one with the other? Many thanks.

Hi, and thanks for the quick reply. I would go for the Vailant controls, in particular, the 392, however the boiler is in a cold unheated utility room and the 392 is a programmable room control, which monitors the temperature in that room. If I were to put in where my existing programmer is...

Hi, wonder if anyone can give me some advice regarding central heating controls please. I have a Vailant Ecotec 624 plus system boiler & unvented cylinder. I have at present got a basic Honeywell ST699 programmer and a room stat, which are wired. My question is this: I would like to...

I promised I would come back to you all to let you know what the structural engineer has said about the floor joists. Having done calculations again he has advised that the 47 x 195 joists ARE adequate for the span, and will pass any query from building control. He has advised that "because...

Thanks everyone for the replies. Sorry for the late response, but have been unable to get onto the site - problems accessing the post. I have read with interest what everyone has said, and as we need the Building Control Certificate at the end of the work, have decided that the best course...

Thanks for the reply Static, and everyone elso who have chipped in regarding my problem. I need to digest what everyone has said, as whatever I do is going to cause mess and disruption, and whilst I would like it right, I need to work out which way is the best way forward for my...

Thank you for the replies. I will try to explain a bit more. With regard to static and theoldun's suggestion of putting a beam mid span, The lounge and first floor bedroom is 4.3m x 25ft and the joists run across the shortest ie 4.3m so putting a beam midway over 25ft or so will a) look...
