    Moving radiator along wall...how big a job?

    I'm getting a new boiler fitted and installing EvoHome as well along with the wireless TRVs. The dining room radiator is not in the middle of the wall and consequently about 6-8 inches of the TRV end of the radiator is behind a cupboard. The pipes for the radiator come up through the...

    EvoHome with a Vaillant boiler?

    Thanks for the recommendation...Mike's been really helpful with all my (many!) questions and helped decide on an Intergas boiler. He's going to be fitting it the week after next so I'm looking forward to having a boiler that actually works properly! :-)

    Are deaerators a necessity with combi boiler?

    I'm shortly going to be getting a new combi boiler fitted and one of the options the installer has offered is to fit a deareator. I'd never even heard of such a thing before but with Google's help I do at least have a vague idea what one does now. What I'm not sure about is whether it's a...

    EvoHome with a Vaillant boiler?

    Just when I thought I'd narrowed it down to a choice of one...! o_O:D Thanks for the recommendation. Can I ask, is that recommendation based simply on the fact that he's geographically the closest Intergas-approved supplier/fitter? Or that he's the closest one you'd actually recommend? Only...

    EvoHome with a Vaillant boiler?

    Thanks for the info...that's pretty much the conclusion I'd come to, that it would work to some degree but potentially not fully. And when investing this much cash in a new heating system, I want to make sure everything's as compatible as possible. I've heard other people recommend Intergas but...

    EvoHome with a Vaillant boiler?

    I'm in the market for a new boiler and after a great deal of research it looked like I'd got it down to one of two models - one is Vaillant and the other Baxi. I also need the ability to independently control different temps in different rooms, so had identified Honeywell EvoHome as the best...

    New boiler required...but which one?!

    This is exactly what I'm starting to wonder, as the three installers I've had quotes from all had a very clear preference for one particular brand. Now I'm not saying they're definitely partial, and they may genuinely think Brand A is better then Brand B, but it is hard to know for sure. The...

    My bad...sorry! Thanks for moving I'd rather have a boiler breakdown than listen to more Brexit woes ;-)

    New boiler required...but which one?!

    I realise there are many, many threads online asking the same old "which boiler should I get" question, so I'm aware that I'm covering some rather well trodden ground here, but I was wondering if anyone could provide any personal experience (not just "I had a mate who reckoned this, that or the...

    Water pressure issue upstairs only

    No they didn't! They turned up and did the job and I didn't hear anything from them! Well...I'm assuming they didn't do the test, but maybe they did and just never quite got as far as telling me? Anyway, I'm going to get back to them and ask the question...

    Water pressure issue upstairs only

    OK, so bit of an update from today. Dilalio...did what you suggested and diverted the input that was going into the tap into a bucket. As it turns out, the pressure is absolutely fine! If anything it was slightly higher than expected. So that pretty much narrows the issue down to the tap...

    Water pressure issue upstairs only

    This is what I don't know...it seems like a valid possibility to me, but I have no way of knowing. What would be the best way to test for this?

    Water pressure issue upstairs only

    Thanks Rob...presumably taking a pressure reading is something that would need some kind of specialist kit? Would most plumbers have this?

    Water pressure issue upstairs only

    Thanks for all the replies so far - much appreciated. So UU have now been and replaced the stop cock in the street...but there's no difference in the situation :( The water pressure in the bathroom sink tap is still very low (I just tested...28 seconds to fill a 1 litre bottle with the cold...

    Water pressure issue upstairs only

    Yes new shower and fittings. The weird thing is that it was so bad to start with and then improved a bit without anything being done? If it was the bore of the fittings it would stay the same wouldn't it?

    If it is an airlock, what's the best way to address?

    Water pressure issue upstairs only
