....and that is why you always need to take the tap handle/knob with you when you go shopping for new valves and glands... Thanks for updating the thread and good work.

Are they quarter turn ceramic cartridges or the oldrr compression valve type? Turn off the water and take valve out of tap. Take the head and the valve/cartridge to a decent merchant and get them to supply a new valve or cartridge. Tap valves are about six or seven quid and ceramics around 20...

You need someone to clean the boiler internals properly. Adding chemicals into a towel radiator is unlikely to do the job. Both heat exchangers need to come out for acid cleaning. You will need new O rings for both exchangers otherwise it will probably leak. Possibly a new diaphragm and a...

One of my customers went for a 35kw viessmann 200 about 5.5 years ago. Some minor issues sorted under warranty. Boxing day he has a house full of visiting family - hears a dull thud from downstairs at 8.00AM and finds the utility room partly flooded. Quality rubber hose on expensive German...

Tradepoint....that advert on the radio drives me insane Tradepoint Tradepoint Feck off Not in stock Tradepoint Lots of prices same as b and poo price to the public. Better discount to be had with the old biddy cards on a Wednesday. No stock even on basic items. Waste of time and fuel...

Correct, Mr Rabbit. It will.work fine but won't condense very much. No corrosive condensate will be produced and the boiler may well last longer as a result Don't be drawn in by Worcester marketing. I have an old oil boiler too and will be replacing it with a Hounsfield oil boiler when the...

It will work but the return temperature is likely to be too high for the boiler to be running in condensing mode for long. Boilermates say run boiler at max flow temperature because the store needs to be around 80 degrees to perform fully.

Noooo not for me.....for Echo The Husky!!

Why not hit the thanks button then? :-)

No reason why the fitter should refuse to fit that. Looks fine to me.

I paid 180 for a new old stock diverter valve about 18 months ago. it took weeks to find one back then.

I think you have just discovered how the Halifux can offer you 'free' breakdown cover that would cost you circa £300 a year from Wilbur the Penguin at British Gas. Brass doesn't rust. A picture would help, please.

Now google will know when the house is occupied and when empty. Targeted telemarketing coming your way....

Why not upgrade to hive v2?

25kw boiler will give a better flow rate than a 10kw electric shower. I would go for a mixer shower personally...

Have a look on gumtree and ebay. Someone may be selling a used one for a quid. Seriously. Those £100 baths are sheet

You get what you pay for.....

Cheap baths bought over the internet will be nothing but grief. Are you fitting it yourself? It will be flimsy, twisted and give you years of dissatisfaction. Carronite as already mentioned. A decent bath costs 350 and up. £100 baths will be nasty things.

This is why you need to spend 60 quid a year having your local independent rgi look after and service your boiler. Insurance cover leaves you with your pants down every time, and you took a spanking this christmas. Busted E/V? replacing the schraeder valve core usually sorts it out for 50p in...

Yes but make sure it adjusts to a much lower temperature and that your shower has a low power setting as the 10kw input would be too much
