I seem to be falling ino the trap of doing it as if i will live there.. Only had the place a couple of weeks so early days. Tiles where my pref option but = cold floors? No kitchen in at present, best to tile before the units go in or after?? Only had the place a few days and gutted it...

No its someone who has had someone do a job for him recently that he was told on here was a bodge, this despite using a gas safe registered heating engineer. They are obviously not as good as mos on here so sought your advice. So would like advice on what i should expect in the way of best...

Renovating a house to rent out in the fuure. Concrete floors - large kitchen diner and not sure what to put down on the floor? Recommendations. Will be heavy traffic area as main entance also comes into the room.

Possibly looking for replacement for a Glow worm Compact 100e that was put in using a top fill kit. Do most makes supply such kits? Are there any boilers specifically designed as top fill? Any ideas to get around it? Thought of geting a frame welded up o mount boiler off the wall a bit but...

Each property has one. Simple really. And no I am not a landlord. Baxi 105e has gone now. New property has a Potterton Gold, just to keep you up to speed.... :roll:

Ta Guru - Thought about the vessel elsewhere. Could fit it in the loft above the boiler easily. Fitted the new main flow thermister as instructions. Didnt come with a DHW thermistor though?

Sorry Guru, meant the expansion vessel had water at test point - hence boiler off wall to replace it. This prob caused the PRV to blow and not re-seat. I have had to replace the DHW plate Heat Exchanger twice which with a top feed kit also means boiler off the wall - well not fully off wall...

Ta Tony, you maybe right but did wrp PRV in a rag while removing and didnt see water in the tray etc?? The meter is the a fluke multi meter i use at work as an electrical engineer - I have faith in them. Industry standard and bloody expensive. A transistor looks to have burnt out on the card...

More woes.... :(

Ac / Dc - my fluke meter measures both on the same setting. Flashes up whether its ac or dc voltage. Replaced PCB and all working fine again. Will check the water pressure out regularly over next few days and keep an eye on it.

Rang Glow worm tech desk - very helpfull but.... Said i should have between 24v-50v ac on the white and black.... i have 233 DC!! Will this have buggered the coil too now........ All started with a minor drip! now looking at £150 for the pcb and possible a new gas valve too! Deep Joy

It started as something so simple. Boiler ran ok but loosing pressure through the PRV - which i replaced. Here starts the tail of woe... First - no fan on ignition! Found loose connection in supply. Reterminated ok. Then tested.... then had some arcing on the PCB.... which i dont believe was...

Going with plastic to feed the radiators. Weak points where due to original copper not being protected in the screed when installed. Lime had eaten into the copper.... leaks! New pressurised system showed all the probs with damp patches in numerous places so renewing the lot. Hope that...

Anyone?? :?: :?: :?: :?:

I dont think I do but... The heating pipes had been layed direct into the concrete with no protection.... the new boiler found the weak points... thank god it was before we had fitted the new Bathroom / kitchen etc. Have chopped channels into the floor screed down to the slab below for new...

9 inches. Maybe a little more? What are you thinking?? Kingspan between joists?? Was wondering about a vapour barrier? Where to put it? would this be right working down. Felt roof boards air gap - poss add breather vents in each run. None at present? needed? insulation board re -...
