Sisters just moved into new house, just been round to turn on heating, anyway theres a bit of mould in front bedroom all round window, and in corner of room same wall as window, but a good 4 ft away The loft has 2 tiles which are vents, the felt underneath has just been ripped and left...

Also, what you are proposing to do, is add a cleaner and "Drain" not "Flush" Unless you have a machine, maybe you do?? Neither will do any harm

I totally agree, but if it aint down if black and white and my arse is in court, what will they say to me???? Chances are it will never kill any1, and the older type naturally asperated burner type models, manufacturers seals are generally poor especially where there are sheet metal folds...

If the case has been drilled, then it needs a new case, end of, anything else would be in contravention of Ideals spec which is not allowed 45 years, i can assure you, if someone at BG wanted to loose there job then yes they could seal it by many other ways in which im very confident it would...

Fair enough, i will have to stand corrected as i have never used it, find it hard to believe its that good, as why wouldnt ppl just use this instead of flushing, much easier and cheaper and according to you with the same results :?:

If a system is Full of sludge how will putting a chemical in get rid of all the sludge? Powerflushing after using a desludger and then treating afterward will not remove 100% of magnatite, so how will putting it over everything and just leaving it there do much? Ive just realised its a...

Why not? Gas men are working for 2 cheap a price all to often, we are skilled tradesmen, and £209 for this job is fair in my opinion I may charge more, depending on job, but would have to see them, i have ppl buying them for much higher than that with no qualms But then again you get...

Mains Pressure CH System, you mean Pressurised system? Yes always worth it, will pro-long life and maybe even increase you're efficiency, can make the boiler last longer also, stop ****ty brakdowns/ leaks Magnabooster is the best built domestic filter on the market £209 is a good price

You are ok to put chemical in aslong as its not a primatic cylinder and you are sure its an indirect coil, if you have a 3 way valve it wont be primatic as will be a fully pumped system, which isnt compatable with a primatic Putting it in will not cure your sludge problem, it may help with...

Most likely to be 3/4 or 1/2 inch, looks like half inch from pic

Absaloutly awful awful awful boiler, doesnt help with your fault but thought i would let you know, also make sure your twin flue is MUPVC and not PVC like loads

Also if your mixer passes, it can run back up into cold water tank and cause it to overflow

I nearly always put PTFE around the olive, due to once a long time ago when i had around 6 leaks on about 6 joints, i was young and thought you had to get the stillies out for 10mm comp, well not that bad but in the end took them all apart and PTFE'd all ok, so ever since i do it 1st as someone...

When the hot water tap is running and it goes cold, does the red hot water light on the front of the boiler stay on or go off, if it goes off its most likely you diaphragm not a blocked plate

Yes it is good practice to do this, and no you wouldnt be able to clear the air lock that way from a tap with check valves on

First of all, yes you can split it into as many loop or zones as you like To add more radiators the boiler needs to be capable e.g. KW/ BTU If you mean can you tee into 15mm and add another rad, its not ideal, a lot of the time it works, but there is a calculation to work it out before...

He did tell you British Gas and at max you would of paid £399 put prob less, and trust me if you do repairs alot, on all boilers, you have experiance on Chaffs as they are cheap nasty things, that always break down

Yes replace boiler Alpha are a budget boiler, with expensive parts fit a vaillant, worcester, ATAG, Veissman etc etc
