Picasso, problem solved, you wouldnt belive it! Well you would as you were already close to the mark with your first response. I again went back to the filter assembly on the end of the tap. Closer inspection found the first stage of the filer actuall had a split in it and tiny pieces of...

Piccaso, Thanks again, i have used John Guest Speedfit plastic pipe and fittings. Dont know if it has any relevance but the kitchen tap is a mixer type and the symptom is apparent when running both the hot and the cold.

Thanks for that, checked the stop cock and confirmed it is fully open. I removed the end from the tap (Filter assembly dont know the correct name) and found a little bit of dirt. However the symptoms still persist. Any feed back much appreciated Cheers

Okay got a strange one here. Due to an up and coming extension build i have had to make alterations to both my central heating system (removing 3 rads) and water pipes. The heating went well apart from a bad back from lots of crawling below the ground floor :evil: I thought the...

Thanks mac It will be a water based system. Sub floor will be both timber (Joists @ 400mm centres with an 18mm ply fixed to them) and concrete / screed (Beam and block + dpm+80mm Kingspan/Celotex + 70mm screed) Another question, will i then require some type of smoothing compound over...

Hi, As the title suggests, can Kardean be laid onto a floor which has underfloor heating? If so what if any special considerations need to be taken? Cheers

I was just about to start a similar thread when i came across this one. I,m in a similar situation, however i have been under the floor and can easily access the flow and return. I was going to ask should the pipes be. A) Individually capped. B) Plumbed together. I,m guessing (A) is...

Hi, I have just received a quote for an underfloor heating system from Nu-Heat. Its a very comprehensive quote, they basically design your system for you before quoting. I,m am also researching underfloor heating systems from John Guest Speedfit. I have used speedfit in the past when...

I,d be climbing under the floor if it was me. Unless however the house was empty of furniture with no carpets down.

Believe it or not that had just crossed my mind last night :D Gotta be cheaper than filling in that floor eh?? Cheers, much appreciated.

Floor will be finished with tiles. Havent calculated the pipe spacing yet but the boarded area is around 15 Sq M. Thanks for the input.

Yes sir thats the plan. Its basically going to be one big open space. Thanks for your input and advice

And what about the underfloor heating? Will it be okay to run the piping between the new concrete floor and this one.

Hi, I,m currently in the advanced planning stages of my ground level rear extension (40m2) Basically i,m knocking out the back of the house at ground floor level and going open plan into the new extension. The new extension will have block and beam floor complete with wet underfloor...

Thanks for that John, as i suspected. Cheers

Hi, Just trying to balance my radiators. Are the lock shield valves on the flow or the return? I have some older radiators as part of the system and both valves look the same! I think i have determined which is the flow and which is the return so now just need to know which one to...

Okay sorted it out today, thanks for all your valued input. Cheers
