Just to add a little more, the sound the boiler makes is like a helicopter taking off.

Hi, I have a Ecomax 828/2e installed that has started making a whining noise when the HW is running. The noise sounds a bit like whining and slight fan rattle, but is coming from the top area of the combustion chamber so pretty sure not fan. If you turn the water temp down the the noise reduces...

Hi, kmow this was a few months ago but I though I would add a little as I've just finishing my loft conversion. Floor - I didn't have to upgrade any ceilings, just put chicken wire and insulation under floor and then 22mm T&G Fire Door - My Building control guy let me put the door at...

Actually just thought about it, I can check by adjusting the pump speed selector on pump, and by manually turning pump with screwdriver.

Hi, cheers for speedy reply. The Ultracom is a combi. My guess is the pump then as it sounded like it was coming from there and everything works fine apart from the noise. Is there anyway of running the pump in isolation, or would you just take it that it is the pump as there's nothing else it...

Hi I have a Glow Worm Ultracom 30 cxi that has started making a noise when running, for hot water and heating. The noise is like a ticking scraping noise similar to a fan making contact with something. I don't think it's the fan as it's definately coming from the water pump area, but I didn't...

Hi, did you sort the problem, mine making similar noise.

Cheers for replies. I'm not sure whether I'd describe it as exposed or not, the front valley more so as thats where we get the majority of our wind/rain. The tiles seem pretty solid, but I'd double check. I'll cross my fingers to make sure it's OK.

Hi, I've just had a dormer put on the side of my 1930's semi. The ridge of the dormer is about 12" below the ridge of the original roof, the the new dormer roof slope is below the hipps (right term I think) of the original. There is a lead valley from the dormer roof to the hipp ridge tiles...

Hi, I have recently fitted a Boston tile that has the fake grout lines. I've noticed that mold seems to have penetrated the fake grout lines in places, which I rather shocked about as I assumed it should be glazed to stop this. Has anyone else come across this problem. Cheers Pixxyco

Hi, just to add one more into the equation, what about the: PERFORMA 30 ECO HE COMBI?

Cheers for replies. Searching the forums I get the gist that they can all break down, just some more than others! The Baxi sounds good and was recommended by my brothers plumber who swears by them.

Hi, second post on this topic.I have a Chafatoux et Maury Celtic Plus that has stopped producing hot water, which I think may be the flow valve. At a guess I expect it would cost near £200 to repair, and as it is old and makes some nasty noises I was thinking it was more sensible to replace it...

The paper work will be done, as it's a rental property he wouldn't commit until he was sure that a colleage would work with him and that the paperwork would be completed.

Obviously the £400 doesn't include the boiler, flue timer etc, only fittings. A neighbour works for a company fitting boilers and he's just keen to earn a little extra cash. He's the one suggesting the Glow Worm. What you should be asking is why I have 2 quotes to fit a Ferrolli at 1700 and...

Thanks for the replies. Was going to go with the Ferrolli due to cost and warantee but not so sure now. I've got someone who's happy to fit for £400 including all the usual flushing etc, and he fits Glow Worm so he did recommend them as well. Whats the problem with the Ferrolli Optimax...

Hi, looking for a new boiler in a rental house. I've been looking at the following: Ferrolli Optimax 31(icl flue & clock) for £650 Glow Worm Flexicom (icl flue & clock) £736.10 Glow Worm Ultracom 30CXi (icl flue & clock) for £773.15 The Ferrolli has a 5 year guarantee as well. Does...

Hi Bengasman, I'm fitting the bathroom myself, so I have no installer to ask. I've avoided the DIY chains as it seems expensive cheap stuff, if you know what I mean. We had settled on the Ideal Standard Concept Cube design toilet and sink, as I assumed Ideal is a good make, and it has the...

Cheers for the reply Bengasman. What makes would you recommend?

Hi, I'm putting a new bathroom in and am undecided on what type of bath, acrylic or metal. I like the look of the Ideal Standard Acrylic Jasper Morrison double ended bath. Does anyone have any views on the quality of this bath (we will be using it as a shower bath), or is it better to get a...
