I'll give this a go tomorrow. Out of curiosity - with this heat store system (boiler is the ff240 btw) I was told that the hot water needs to be heated to a certain level before you turn on the heating to get the rads warm. I've therefore been setting the timer for both to come on for a few...

Yeah we were weighing up costs to replace the boiler (and thermal store) or go for a combi

According the docs the temperature on level 4 (which it's on) is 72degrees. We are not seeing that with the rads

Do you mean the boiler level (literally got a selector switch 1-6) Then the thermostat on the wall which doesn't seem to be doing an awful lot

Hi all Not long liven in our new house - it has an old boiler system we are going to replace next year. Boiler is a Ideal classic (year ~2000 ish). It's heat only with thermal store cylinder in the airing cupboard. Has a Drayton programmer and we have both hot water and heating on for a few...

decided I will just replace analog with a basic (more reliable) digital stat, nothing too fancy, and a like for like rather than messing with the heating controls next to the boiler. Are there any recommendations for a decent budget digital stat?

Not sure. The house is 1996. It has Artex ceilings but the builders would have needed use a very very old bag to contain it

thanks. any recommendations on a digital stat that would be a direct swap out with my current one? I'll confirm the wiring later, assuming it's easy enough to open the unit

will have a think then and see how the wiring looks to the old stat. May just replace with a cheaper digital one for now if Hive/Nest over complicate things or need additional configs done

Drayton Combi stat

ah thats very good to know, thanks! We would prob be looking to get nest or hive with the new system next year but wondering if we could buy it now and use on the existing system ( i know zones won;t be possible yet) but will check the wiring of this thermostat first

that's what I was hoping to hear. also to check if analog thermostats can be swapped out with digital, i.e compatibility

We have an old combi stat in the hall way which we would like to replace. Doesn't seem too accurate plus would like a digital stat until we replace the system. Is this possible? Is it a DIY job for a relatively competent DIY'er? We have an old ideal classic boiler with a heat store cylinder in...

Just curious but we bought a house a few months ago that has had new facia/soffits and guttering all around. Noticed some dripping along the garage guttering and was due to broken felt near the ends. Fixed this with support trays. When looking around the garage, the overhand is not that long...

Yeah that's from something else. Which is sorted now, just need to clean up those bricks

presume you mean the garage leadwork. in which case I would expect to see a stream of water dripping to the ground or that darker area from that, which I am not. I'm only seeing drips from the house roof facia that lands in that area. You're right about the gutter in that pic. It's routing...

Just curious if anyone has fit some kind of blind or insulation type material to the Upvc roof panel of a conservatory? Waiting for a quote to replace with glass (3x3 pitched) but if there are cheaper and somewhat reliable alternatives to help keep reflect the sun in summer and keep the keep the...

This hasn't happened since my initial post and it's been torrential recently. I guess it was wind causing it

Thanks and np I'm going to leave it alone in case it upsets the system. Working fine other than part of a pipe vibrating against a floorboard. Tempted to keep the system for a bit longer and replace next year

Yeah it seems to be that and hitting the floor and plashing back a bit. The picture actually makes it look worse due to the lighting but you get the idea
