Thank you for all the advice, I'll ask the plumber to take the static and dynamic pressure and go from there.

Not 100% , but most likely coming via prv under kitchen sink. Hot water is as poor upstairs as the cold. All mixer taps/fittings. Is 2bar sufficient pressure coming into house @prv under sink? It drops to 1bar when water is called for anywhere other than kitchen.

Yes blue is mains, 3 others are outside tap, dishwasher, kitchen sink.PRV then goes to boiler room (&possibly utility?) Dynamic and static pressures, not sure.

Yes to pic 1 description, pic 2 is the new 'easy plumb' bath tap fitting put in from underneath as the below room ceiling is currently open. Kitchen tap has no issues, 2xoutside taps have no issues. Pic 3, boiler room, forgive me for not knowing everything you're asking- Both the small white...

Help figuring out why the water pressure is poor? Pressurised heating system in the house, built 20 years ago out in the country. Upstairs water pressure is poor in bathroom, it was never great, but livable (would always have known if someone turned on a tap downstairs when you were in the...

Hi, the pipes are really loud when I flush the upstairs toilet and seems to be better louder. Could there be air trapped? Any ideas on cause/possible solutions please? Noise in pipes sounds likes it's coming from our boiler room (which is inside the house, off the utility room). Or could it be...

Thank you for responding. We have our boiler guy coming first thing so he can replace it or fix it....it's not dripping as much at the min.

Bear with me., this is heating related: All sockets tripped -Thought it was caused by an old coffee appliance my husband was cleaning out. We checked the fuse board and the RCD wouldn't reset - unplugged everything, then reset it - sockets back. The heating system/burner had no life. Husband...

Terrwookfit Thankyou for that booklet, also ventilation is a small window with an air vent on top. Durhamplumber, good luck indeed! Gasguru ill post photos of log burner tomorrow So, he came back today. He said he couldn't smell anything, but it must be the rubber seals in the joints, took it...

Thank you Terrywookfit, I'm going to ask him to put back the black enamel pipe or a new one, and have the liner just coming down to the bottom of the chimney. Now I just have to hope he will do it and not get p'd off with me.....

I have a Co2 detector in the boiler room and there is nothing showing. The smell could be from the heat resistant silicone he used? or the liner itself?? The liner was installed by a plumber. He is coming back tomorrow - some helpful suggestions as to what I can say to him/ask him to fix...

Thanks for the feedback...so the stainless steel liner should have been put inside the original black piping? Is it dangerous if this isn't done??

Hi there, after noticing a dripping leak from the oil burner chimney pipe, we had a flue liner put in the chimney (there was none) The new flexible liner seems to be giving off a seriously strong smell, I should mention that our oil burner is inside our house in a room off the back kitchen. The...

Lostinthelight - "So does the vitrius fit into a flexible liner ? can you draw a diagram of the flue system the take a picture of it and upload?" We don't think there is a liner there -, so the plumber mentioned future proofing with a flexible liner that would fit a combi boiler when our...
