You are slagging off the builders about the bath-trap but have you in actual fact noticed any bad smells coming in the house as a consequence of this? Half the bath traps in the country look like yours. They are only unacceptable in certain cases, not every one. It depends if the waste water...

It is a worthwhile purchase though I'm biased as I have one at home. I wouldn't bother ordering 'from a website' as you suggest-if you speak to stockists near you they will get very close on price to the best internet price and it will be less hassle if a problem is found on delivery. The...

pressure vessel needs re-charging or is fecked.

It WILL be live. Almost definitely.

Except this job wouldn't be a straight swap so your 'quote' is way off the mark. OP did not mention straight swap-you did.

Guarantee you would not get ANYONE operating legally to convert that system to a combi for 400 stripes. You are making wild assumptions based on what experience?

If you're sure you've checked all the other pipework that you CAN see then I'm afraid so,yes.

your husband is talking rubbish. After the new boiler was installed have you had to bleed any radiators? If so, this will cause the pressure to drop. Otherwise you have a leak somewhere-probably a slight one- but enough to drop the pressure as you describe.

Would recommend you convert the cold feed from the f+e tank into a combined cold feed and vent asap. This would be the first logical step.

can't you use a length of plastic pipe instead? Flexi's this long are a bit of a joke.

Buy a boiler off Ebay at your peril. I had a boiler delivered from my local merchants the other week and a part was missing out of the box. They delivered me a brand new boiler within 2 hours and took the old one away. If you'd bought one off Ebay and the same happened to you, what would...

You can get a boiler and 7 rads for half that price. Won't be what you would call a 'good boiler' but that's how some make a profit.

£1800 is a good price with that boiler. Materials would come to at least £1300 possibly as much as £1400. Agree £2.4k is a touch ambitious. Bearing in mind the installer's overheads he will be doing the job for a modest profit. It is a one day job in theory but not the most relaxing way of...

you make no mention of whether the two quotes involve exactly the same work. What boiler was he fitting for £2400 and the other guy for £1800? There is a substantial price difference between some boilers. Were you quoted for powerflush or magnaclean or upgrade of controls? Make no mistake...

Yes, BG Homecare is available to all,regardless of supplier. If they come and inspect your system-which they will- and find that it is dirty system water they will insist on a powerflush before they will insure you. You don't have to use them to do the powerflush, you can use someone else...

At that price it sounds like he wants the job. If you are able to get the £400 scrappage discount on top of that I would say you are onto a good thing.

Who do you think they are, Barnardo's? Above is more like it. They will DEMAND you have a powerflush before they take you on cover. Cost to you= £500+ depending on how many rads you've got. They would never make a profit if they took on every sludged up,old system at £7 per month without...

Keep the Mexico.Reliable unit The 15ri will not out-perform it in any other area than energy efficiency. It will take a long time to claw back the £2kplus outlay.

Valmex heat exchangers are now hard to find as there was a problem with continuity on the flux capacitors which required the fitting of a new regurgitating clevis housing each time they went wrong. If you go to the plumbers merchants, ask for a Wortling and Pratt 3/4" felching trunion which...

Sue 'em then. Let us know how you get on. :roll:
