28 degrees - OH would love that :o Recently changed my pump and the crude balancing already in place needs re-doing. would have needed it with new valves and shields anyway but thanks for the advice. Seem to have agreement on the gradual shut down so thanks to helpful contributors :D

I have very little experience of radiator TRVs but am hoping to roll them out in my house - looking at the danfoss ras-d2 (mainly 'cos it pretty and has a high maximum setting) Question - do they gradually shut down as they approach desired temperature or is it more of an on / off scenario...

Thanks pompeyal - nice job!... and thanks for the feedback :D

That is brilliant I will try and get it to misbehave and check - as it is intermittent it may be some time. Thanks again

Any tests I could do in the boiler wiring? Thanks!

Thanks Ian Even though when I switch water and heating both to off at the controller it still carries on until I switch off at fuse? I am happy to do some diagnosis with a multimeter if only I knew where to measure...

Hi When I run the boiler to do heating and water at the same time it sometimes runs forever and to shut it down I need to switch it off at the fuse. When used on their own the heating comes on and off when told to by the timer and thermostat and the water comes on and off when told to by the...

I know that you didn't find much help for this one on here but did you try the cutter and was it a success? I am in the same situation as you were. Thanks

If you do want to research notching search the internet for holes and notches in joists - many councils provide details of what is allowed.

I believe that your hot water storage tank should be periodically heated to 60c to kill legionella bacteria See here - http://www.wras.co.uk/PDF_Files/Preheated_Water_Report.pdf Personally we have a 145l water tank and this is heated once a day - it is timed to come on for 50 minutes each...

Hi Guys I have a detached 4 bed house with a total of 14 radiators running on 10mm pipe (from the boxing in I have removed in the house so far all the heating pipework is 10mm not just at the rads) I also have an unvented megaflo cylinder for hot water demand running on 28mm pipework. We...

Thanks guys, lovely pegler ball valve installed and confirmed working :D Even treated myself to a new pipe cutter and realised how poor my old one was. Bring on the other jobs now!

One thing you will need to plan / think of with an unvented is the route of the discharge pipe especially if your tank is in the middle of your house like ours is. The discharge pipe is a safety feature ensuring that should excessive pressure and / or temperature build up the water can...

I faced a similar decision about a year ago, although I didn't have a pumped shower, went for the unvented cylinder and think it is great. Fast reheat times, good pressure and high flow everywhere. No pump noise to think about. Running a bath or shower is great now. Only word of caution is...

The annual service I 'enjoy' as part of my BG agreement seems to contain the following http://www.britishgas.co.uk/blog/articles/a-10-step-checklist-to-good-boiler-servicing It seems to be mainly brushing off the heat exchanger, flue gas analysis and gas tightness test - together with a...

After the initial worrying reply I emailed Megaflo support - reply pasted below Good Morning, There wouldn't be any issues with putting a full bore lever valve after the hot outlet as this would be no different form having a hot tap shut off. Just make sure that when you are changing your...

Thanks Schvink, ordered :-)

I have one of these in my basket...?
