Please don't shoot me down here but, I'm probably wrong but would like to hear your expert opinions. I want to balance my central heating system because we have moved and added rads etc. I have read the guide to doing it in the forums faq's and will use this method if my idea is rubbish...

I was thinking maybe polyboards up against the metal roof sheets ? and a couple of vent holes high in the walls near the roof?.

Hi, We have built a wooden framed outbuiding/garage of approx 700 sq ft. It is built with 6x6 pressure treated posts with 6x2 joists then 3x2 pearlings to support the box section metal roof panels. The panels are galvanised not plastic coated. The floor is concrete and has visqene underneath...

Thanks all, It was a spur fuse hidden next to a socket behind a piece of furniture !. I never knew it was even there.

I have a light/fan in the conservatory in which the bulb went. I put a new bulb in ( actually an old one as I had no new ones at the time ) as I put it in it flashed and went straight out. Then I got a new bulb and nothing will work now. I checked the switch and all is OK from the switch to the...

Thanks for your input Seco. Now I have to fine something to replace the screw in sprinkler on the basin tap as it splashes unless I turn it down. Something with a bit of a spout, do you know if these things are available ?.

Well Iv'e got it working !. The water level in the header tank was a bit too low so I increased it & now it works .

Does this help ? http://www.diynot.com/network/Maxx470/albums/2911/11268 There "must" be some way to make this work.

The tank is probably only a foot or so higher than the basin. I don't think I can do much about the 10mm pipe sizes to the tap as it's the type that comes with two short lengths of copper pipe 10mm screws into tap and it's swaged out to 15mm to fit pipework onto.[/img]

I think it's a positive head pump, the pump is fitted below the cylinder. Like I said it pumps HW the bath no problem but not to the basin which is feet away from the bath, it will work the sink tap if I momentarily turn the bath hot tap on and straight off.

I have fitted a bathroom suite in our loft conversion, previously it only had an electric shower, WC & small basin. I have fitted a bath, WC and new basin. Because it's a bungalow and the cylinder is downstairs and cylinder feed tank is in loft I had great problems in getting the hot to flow...

Thanks Oilman, But while I fully understand what your saying I cant help but disagree slightly. In that if the boiler is on a lower setting then surely it will be on for Longer, to reach the desired room temp. By having it at a slightly higher setting it's achieving its room temp much quicker...

I have 12 rads. An Oil Boiler. All in a large bungalow which also has 2 X upstairs bedrooms and a bathroom ( derived from a loft conv ) My boiler has a dial ranging from 60 - 90. To ( I think foolishly ) save Oil I set the boiler stat to 70 ( ish). This eventually caused the room stat...

I've done it using 15mm split foam lagging and it's fine. Surely this is better than nothing ?

I cant find anywhere that sell split foam lagging for 10mm heating pipes, would it be any good using the 15mm lagging and cable tieing it tight ?. Also, these pipes are under my house (wood floors) and some are exposed. Will there be a significant heat loss/£ loss ?. Some of the pipes are...
