    Good shot! (And I've done it too...)

    Water from overflow

    The water board have turned our supply off and now it's back on I have a constant trickle of water out of the overflow and it sounds by the indirect Titan Flomaster like a tap is turned on slightly. No water is coming from the heating tundish to overflow (and heating pressure is fine), so I...

    Boiler/pump noise (is the time when it's on relevant?)

    Think you've answered your own question there!

    Hi, that mean a 'crap' filter like the Fernox/Spirulux one, or can I do something less involved with a water additive?

    Everything's been smoochy for a couple of years. Stuck 100 in after doing repiping (long story) and things were good, then there was kettling so I stuck a couple of x200s which, gradually, eliminated that but now, as I'm testing, I'm getting a few clumps of air circulating. Bled the rads but it...

    System's started to create air. It's has Sentinel x100 and 200 in it and I wondered which way to go. 100?

    Remeha Avanta boiler losing pressure - what to try next ?

    Inclined to agree with above, new pressure vessel and release valve. You said it was leaking somewhere, didn't you? * Not sure whether over pressurising the system is a sensible thing to do, as you had the problem at running pressure and it's likely to make the relief valve leak if it wasn't...

    Insulating water pipes in loft?

    An insulation expert will no doubt be along soon but I would stick on the pipe foam surrounds, then top up the loft insulation. The foam tubes for a small property won't cost much but will give extra peace of mind.

    going rate for a plumber

    'Tis tricky and you're stirring a nest. You could pay less and get a better job or more and get a worse one, and vice versa. Get some quotes on an even level and go from there.

    Push fit fittings leaking everywhere!!

    Some love them, some hate them but I've never had an issue with Speedfit to copper. Cut plastic pipe with JG tool (not hacksaw), fit insert, make sure copper pipe has proper pipe cut end and wire wooled, whack in and tighten lock clamp. If that leaks I favour the other poster's suggestion about...

    Riello RDB oil leaking

    Yes you will do, but best wait for Burnerman to reply. I took it through a couple of start up cycles with the bleed screw partially open, until the bubbles disappeared, nipped it up and it worked fine. But, I refer you to the first sentence...

    Riello RDB oil leaking

    Had a similar leak myself and took the burner off, dismantled the fuel union where it met the pump and it contained a tiny o-ring. I had a box of assorted o rings and found one, reinstalled and no leaks and no smell. If you do go down this route - I figured I had nothing to lose - make sure...

    Central heating pump

    Think it's more involved than that but try no. three and see what happens. Were they hot before? Is the pump like for like? Do the rads need bleeding/balancing? Boiler temp, etc...

    Bit harsh! Tony didn't have to reply and obvs wasn't on site and obvs bloke who enployed plumber doesn't know much about plumbing, so that makes it a fair question, surely?
