It says the thermostatic valve is limited to 17 l/min. Is this sufficient?

I need some advice from the Experts in this forum. I am installing a new shower in my bathroom as part of a large scale refurbishment of my house. I have an unvented (Megaflo) system, with 3.5 bars pressure and about 22L/min (I think!) flow rate via 22mm pipes. I want to install a ceiling...

Hi there, I'm having my Central Heating redone. I have asked the plumber to ensure the pipes (15mm) are recessed. He is planning to wrap the pipes with 'desso' tape to give room for expansion before applying plastering. Will this work? Is there a better way to do this job?

thanks - I'll instruct my electrician accordingly.

All, I'm planning to get an electrician to move my consumer unit from my kitchen (where its sitting next to my electricity meter) to under the stairs as part of rewiring my house. The cable distance would be about 15 meters. Is this doable? What kind of cables would he need? I'm...

Hi there, I need to rewire my whole house. Since I don't have the valid certifications (although I know how to rewire), can someone recommend anyone who is reliable and reputable. I live in Croydon. thanks

Hi there, I have a Saunier Duval Thelia 23. It was working fine until I turned off the mains power this weekend to change a fuse elsewhere. After I turned the power on I realised the pilot light had gone off. I tried to turn on the pilot light by pressing and holding the black switch. I...

Hi there, I'm about to fit a new kitchen in to my flat. Can anyone recommend an installer that they have used who cover SW London? thanks

Well, lets see how it goes... I've fired it up. Its working, a bit louder than I expected. No puddle so far. Wish me luck!

Are saunier duval that bad for ppl to run away from it?! The boiler is working ok. I thought I'll flush the central heating system to prolong the life of the boiler/pump. The boiler cant be that old because it has a digital timer built in. I can't afford to change the bioler as I just...

I'm looking for a plumber to flush my saunier duval combi boiler + heating system that has not been used for nearly 2 years. Can anyone recommend someone in SW London? thanks
