Hi All, Long story short we're in a new build property just over a year old and have had issues with the flooring. It has recently been replaced and we have noticed some damage on the end of a plank. The builder is saying that as we didn't report it immediately they are not liable and that we...

It's been a while and I'm just revisiting this idea. I've attached a picture of the unvented cylinder (please ignore all the mess, it's a work in progress!). The red pipe is the 22mm hot outlet from the top of the cylinder and the dotted part goes off to the rest of the house. The arrow points...

I have. At least the ones wh aren't complete ******s! I would hope the house builders would be informing any others (yeah right). Now its going to get colder I'm sure a lot of people in similar houses on the estate will find out that two of their radiators don't work as the feed and return are...

Just to close this one off, yes it was wired wrongly and if I hadn't been forceful it would have been left like that. I expect all of the similar houses on the estate will have a boiler that runs all the time the hot water is on. That's those that actually know they have gas water heating and...

Update... A different heating engineer is here and he seems to understand exactly what the issue is. Watch this space!

Thanks for the reply. The tank stat would appear to be working as the HW valve does open and close if I turn the stat up and down past the 'click'. I'm pretty sure we have a fundamental wiring issue going on that's causing constant demand for heat even when the HW thermostat is open and the...

Hi, Recently moved into a new build and I'm pretty certain there's a problem with the CH/HW that the installers are denying. It's a 'S Plan Plus' system - Ideal boiler with unvented cylinder, dual heating zones and frost thermostat for the boiler in the attached garage. I've had to replace a...

Unfortunately not, just a single horizontal immersion heater half way up.

Just to close this thread off - I replaced the head on the valve and all is now good. Thanks!

Hi Guys, This may be a non starter but it was an idea that popped into my mind so thought I'd ask the knowledegable pople on here! I have a unvented hot water cylinder heated primarily by gas boiler but it also has an electric immersion heater. I also have solar PV panels and plenty of spare...

Thanks for the replies, with your help I've managed to isolate the problem. As you say, looks like I was barking up the wrong tree with the boiler. Have done some reading up on how S plan works and it makes total sense now. The 2 port valve for the heating seems to be the culprit - I did some...

Hi, I have the above boiler, was commissioned by gas safe engineer just over 5 years ago and has been faultless since until now I have a hive system controlling heating (usual radiators) and hot water and a unvented HW cylinder. All wired up on S plan I believe - separate valves for CH & HW...

Thanks for all the responses! This job was only done a few days ago and wasn't cheap. £700 to be precise. Also had a brain fart and got the size wrong - it's actually 12ft x 10ft. So now it's dried, I can see that the central slabs are a good inch higher than the edge ones so I would imagine...

Hi, Just wanted to gauge opinion here before taking legal action. I commisisoned a company to prepare a shed base recently, 18ft x 14ft which was done with 2x2 slabs. The area was fairly flat to start with and they did some raking to level it off. Then, with no other preparation, the slabs were...

Well it's a bit odd - looks like the CO2 alarm does work, but only when it is mounted to the ceiling base plate. Gas man came, checked everything, screwed the cap back on and all ok now. Cheers all.

Thanks for the replies - since posting the pictures I've seen the cap you're talking about. Can't see it normally as it's above eye height. Service was November last year which means it's been like that for best part of a year. Gas man coming round as an emergency - hopefully the same one who...

Hi, I'm just at my partner's (rented) house and was looking to install a Hive system but noticed what looks like an uncapped hole in the flue on her combi boiler (I deal Logic ESP1 35). I can feel air movement, including warm air when the boiler is running and taking a photo looks like it's open...

Thanks for the advice. I'm sure it's all above board - just needed to be 100% sure. Will check the card and go ahead. Ted

Hi, I'm due to have an unvented cyclinder fitted shortly but on checking the plumber's gas safe register page it shows only vented not unvented cylinders as certified. Does this mean he's not certified or is there somewhere else that the certification could be held? Nothing else about the...

Thanks for that, unfortunately it's out of warranty although I do have a couple of other broken units with different faults so was wondering what I could swap around inside... The others have different faults so maybe I could cobble a working one together - don't suppose you know what the...
