    Boiler choice Worcester V's Saunier Duval

    Thanks for the info guys i think it looks like the Worcester is the best option for now: Howeverm, had a further quote for a Baxi 33kw yesterday (think it was the duo-tech) which came in around the same price as the Worcester. Is it worth going for the Baxi to get the extra 3kw or is it...

    Creaky radiators

    Don't know what sort of pump we've got to be honest. Had BG man round last night to assess the bolier and he agreed with the local plumber that the boiler was way underpowered for the size of house. His suggestion was that it might be crud in the system or a broken radiator - again not sure how...

    Creaky radiators

    We do have a TRV fitted which will be adjusting the temperature but how regularly? And would this really cause a noise due to temp fluctuations every few minutes? (Surely the pipes don't cool down that quick even at this time of the year).

    Worcester boilers

    Thank you for that - very useful. I'll see what the exact quote comes back in at and go from there. I've got British Gas coming in as well to give me a second opinion but i'm expecting them to be expensive.

    SIME 400 boiler questions and noisy radiators

    Thanks Tony, I guess the diverter valve replacement needs a plumber (i wouldn't know where to start) is this a big job? (expensive? I'm not convinced about the sticking on the wood cause it carries on the whole time the heating is on, not just when the pipes expand? TRV - is this a...

    SIME 400 boiler questions and noisy radiators

    Hi there - i have a couple of questions if i may which i'd appreciate some advice on: firstly we have a SIME boiler (400 i think). The water only seems to get hot when the central heating is switched on. If we run the water whilst the heating is not on then it gets lukewarm at best. Any...
