I have read that this is a valid strategy for dealing with a blocked feed pipe on the boilermates. My BM-II will probably require something similar one day. Personally I would go for it - you may get a few more years out of the BM-III While he's at it, why not have him look at whether the...

I definitely can't install a combi because of the amount of building work that would be required to plumb it in. The option you describe does sound interesting though - has anyone else seen/done something similar?

Here's the full quote from the Gledhill website. I think you were being a little selective. GT you seem to have a lot of knowledge about heating systems and thermal stores in particular. I think you need to find a better way to get your points across. If what you say is correct and...

Hmmm....is it really a straight swap? Here are at least two things you may want to consider. Boilermate BP Boilermate 3 Assuming that the information at the above two sites is correct : 1. The Boilermate III acts as a CH buffer for the heating. This means that the boiler does not...

Please post once you have installed the new unit and share your experience. I have a BM II that needs replacing one day and am also looking for an unvented cylinder. Many thanks.

Hi All, Firstly, apologies. I didn't mean for this thread to degenerate into a flame war regarding the merits (or not) of unvented cylinders but it looks like it did. Hi GT, Thanks for all your comments to date. It seems that you have a number of concerns and issues with unvented...

Hi GT, Since you ask a Combi is not suitable for me because of the amount of work that would be required to pipe it in. My boiler is in the kitchen and the Boilermate is in the 1st floor airing cupboard. As I understand, the hot water feed would have to be routed to the kitchen if I...

Thanks for the info Nickso. You just prompted my next question :D

Hi Everyone, I have a Gledhill Boilermate II thermal store that is about 13 years old now and an Ideal Classic boiler. At some point, I would like to replace the Boilermate with a Megaflo. I'd like to know how much effort will be involved in the replacement. I understand that the boiler...

Hi nickso, I haven't been in the house for long and so don't have much experience with the Boilermate. What did you mean with the above comment? Are Boilermates notoriously fickle? I noticed that misterdubya thanked you for that comment too!

Hi, That drip-like mark from the immersion feels, to the touch, more like dried-on paint or similar. I've only been in the house for 6 months so I don't know how long its been there. Thanks.

Hi All, I have a couple of questions regarding my Boilermate II. It was installed when the house was built c.1997 (pic attached) 1. There is some "green stuff" coming out of the cylinder drain. What is it and is it something that I should be concerned about? 2. I noticed that the...

Yes, they are fuse holders. I pulled one out and took another picture :

Hi All, I plugged in my hoover about a week ago and the plug fuse blew. The cable had worn out and the resulting bang left a black mark on the wall beneath the socket. I was expecting the RCD at the consumer unit to trip but it didn't. Should it have? I tried the test button and it...
