My conservatory roof needs replacing, I was going to go with a polycarb again to save costs but have come across the Guardian roof system which really looks to good to be true :lol: Can anyone comment on it good or bad? It's nearly 3 times the price but seems worth it if the room is usable...

Thanks again Richard. The conservatory itself is 4m x 4m and the sides are good bar a few DG panels I've replaced over the few years I've lived here. It's an Edwardian I think (4 sides, box gutter). Surely replacing the lot will cost a fortune? My plan is only to stay in this...

I need a whole new roof, this one is over 12 years old and has had it, I'm just weighing up my options. In my quote for glass I've gone for the blue glass, gas filled and self cleaning. I wa under the impression this would reduce heat in the summer? I don't want to fork out £4k on a roof and...

Thanks fellas. I'm also interested in the capabilities of glass in heat and cold. Will it be cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter?

I've had nothing but trouble with my 12 year old conservatory roof over the past 12 months :( I've spent the last couple of months doing some research and getting prices and think I'm going to change to a glass roof :) Has anyone else done this and could comment good or bad? Cheers!

The old boiler was a nightmare, 30 years old and was falling apart inside! During the cold snap last year we used 1000 litres of oil in 7 weeks! The whole house had an awful system, the hot water tank was very old and had a "hot rod" and took an hour to heat, believe me I've done the right...

Had my Worcester oil combi fitted for nearly 6 months now and the saving on oil over our old boiler is unbelievable :shock: Now that the weather is on the turn and heating will be needed within a month or so I was just wondering what the general consensus is on hot water :D I've had...

My tank and shed have been there for donkeys years, I have lived in the property for 4 years, the risk assessment has been done and duly noted. There is nothing saying I have to rectify anything, other than you OFTEC guys trying to get more money out of people like me for the new tank and...

This is my original question? It is installers like yourself who have brought everything else into question. The only thing that has been overlooked in my case was the soakaway. A run of pipe to a drain was discussed prior to fitting but as I did not want a pipe that fat running around my...

Thank you for your stories, but you are missing my point......... My house was built over 30 years ago, it already had an oil boiler, tank and pipework. I was only replacing a COMPONENT of the system, which was the boiler. I do have the commission report, it flags the condensate soakaway...

Exactly the helpful answer I was looking for! A true credit to the forum!

All the guy has done is change an old oil boiler for a new combi. The pipework hasn't really been touched and all he needed to do was get the hot and cold feed to the boiler, it's not rocket science and is why I was resilient to pay big money for simple work. I can see some of your points of...

If it was a "far from perfect" install as you say then surely the high and mighty OFTEC engineer would have picked up on this shoddy work and charged me the earth for rectifying it? In actual fact he was singing the guys praises as to what a good job he had done (bar the soakaway obviously)...

The boiler has now been signed off by an OFTEC engineer, the only issue is this soakaway, the rest of the job is perfect. I dont think it is very fair for anyone to call the installer a cowboy, the cowboys are the people who were quoting me over £4k for work which I have had done for half...

It was fitted by a Gas Safe registered engineer, he doesn't do oil really, but as his price was so keen he fitted the boiler and appointed an Oftec engineer to commission it. He is going to come back and rectify asap F.O.C., I just thought it was a bit ridiculous that if it is a known fault...

If it's unavoidable to stop making it freeze isn't the whole thing flawed? I've heard it damages the boiler and Worcester sometimes are funny about warranty claims?? I'm not sure off the top of my head the diameter of the external pipe, if it was 20mm would I not slide a 32mm pipe over and...

I have recently had a condensing oil boiler fitted in my house. The fitter has run a pipe just over a meter long outside of the boiler room in to a gravel pit I have. When I had it commissioned I was told that this should be run in to some sort of soakaway? The pipe is lagged, but I have read...

Thanks, I've gone for a 35kw combi so I'm hoping powerful enough! So I can just get the plumber to rip it out then and it will be just as powerful?

Sorry for all the questions tonight people :( We currently have a pump on our Bristan bar valve shower due to our old gravity system. As we are getting our combi fitted tomorrow will the pump still be needed? Can it still be used?? Cheers!
