I've removed and flushed the final cold rad with the garden hose. While it was off I opened the TRV and lock shield and both spluttered a bit with water and air coming out. Refitted and bled. Turned the heating on and it's warm! @Stuckinarut I owe you a pint

This morning I've turned off all rads (with TRVs) except the three cold ones. Two are now warm! So I suspect either an airlock/blockage has been pushed through or balancing is needed. The final radiator is still stone cold as are both pipes. This also happens to be the radiator taken off for...

I've replaced the pump today and 2 of the 5 downstairs radiators have sprung back to life. I'm going to leave the pump on full power for a few days and see how the last three get on

I'm not 100% sure, but I can't think of anything else it could be for. It feeds the three way diverter, comes on with the heating/ hot water. Pipes either side get hot...

Not great but hopefully an indication of ease...

I can stop it really easily by pushing the screwdriver down the side. Less easily when pushing into the middle of the spinning 'thing'. I can't seem to attach a video, I'll try find somewhere external for it

I'm unsure of the age, so over 10 years. It's a Grundfos 15-50N and does have a bleed screw. A walk through on how to test would be great!

Thanks for the reply. Yes we've been in the house 10 years and this has happened this winter. The house is about 30 years old I think. And the heating isn't zoned it's either all on or all off (when working!)

Hello, We have an issue with our downstairs radiators not warming up. Upstairs working fine. Boiler has been serviced and all fine. Boiler man said we needed a power flush. System has been power flushed. Radiators get warm with the power flush machine active but not with the boiler. Tried...

Hi experts, We have a 5 ring gas hob and one of the burners has never worked. Today we have lost another. Both seem to work whilst holding the starter down but once I let it off it's like the gas stops. Is there a realistic fix for this or is it time for a new one? Thanks in advance for any...

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of replacing my bathroom and have removed the heated towel rail for plastering and painting (quite a while ago now, admittedly). I tried to put the heating on the other day, and none of the radiators warmed up. My initial thoughts were along the lines of "not a...

Let us know how yo get on! Im just waiting for the plaster to dry before stage two. fingers crossed for us both

Have you tried installing VLC on your hudl? This could prevent your need to convert at all.

Depending on access from above, you may want to fit (or at least chase and wire) your lights before you plaster? I'm also wondering why if you are a tiler, you can't remove the old tiles yourself? This could be a day or more work for a job you could do yourself in a few evenings. Another way...

There is, about 3 or 4 meters from the stack. I've just run both taps through the bath and gone outside to check it and it appears to be flowing fine

Thanks both for your help! Had a bit of sucking and blowing but not as much as I expected. I did also noticing a bit of gurgling. Time to find a big ladder I think, unless anyone knows a method to unblock without?

No haven't been capped off, that seems like a logical first test for when I get home. So if I cap them off and immediately get the same problem, am I looking at a ventilation issue?

Hi all, The bath / shower in our bathroom has never really drained properly, and often needs unblocking. I had a plumber come and look at it, but he said that it was because the waste had been plumbed wrong, and that it was not a job he wanted to get involved in. Since then we've just been...

I recently helped a friend with some decking and found the timber merchant very helpful in deciding how many posts / joists / beams. I'm sure someone knowledgeable will be along in here as well though. Is there any reason you aren't putting your posts straight into the concrete? I did it this...
