you may want to put a rad in between :lol: Must remember that bit. ;)

So one end onto one pipe and the other end to the other pipe. Sounds easy enough.

How much have you been quoted for the stove installation? Im looking at doing the same thing but my gas work is already turned off to the fire. To shut the gas off its probably just a five minute job, my gas man would just charge his usual fee of around 60 quid.Why not get your boiler serviced...

How do i know which pipe goes to which bit of the rad? I dont want to T into one pipe to find out that if i turn off the one rad it stops the water flow to the rest of the system.

There is a lot more to it now a days than just taking out the old gas fire and putting a fire grate in the bottom of the fire place. I think were in a smokeless area, would this mean i would be stuck to smokeless fuels like coalite and not be allowed to burn wood? When the fireplace is ripped...

Is it difficult to add another radiator to my combi system? I want to put another rad on the landing as it gets quite cold at night. The pipework seems to run from the bathroom to the small bedroom, which are directly opposite each other. The floor gets warm when the heating is on so i guess the...

Looks like it will be a major upheaval to change it back to coal. Since the marble would have to be changed i think it will be a job for when we redecorate the room next year. That way we can altar everything in one go and not have to decorate twice. I will have a look at the stove type burners...

I want to change my leaking gas fire back to a coal/log fire as i like the look of old fires. The chimney was originally for a coal fire as next door but one still has a coal fire. Would a liner or something have been put up the chimney for the gas fire or would it still be open as for coal? The...

Have you checked that the tank in the loft is full of water? I found this to be a problem on an old system when a property surveyor went into the roof and for some reason he turned off the supply to it, found out a week or two later when the boiler started to bang.

I put a bit of wd40 on the pin under the trv cover to see if it will free the pin up or not, should i be able to just push it down with the side of a screwdriver or should it be quite stiff? If anything it looks to be stuck fully open not closed.

I was wondering that but i can turn it off and it does go completely cold and i removed the dial earlier and gave it a good tap with the pliers just incase it made a difference but it does not. I even shook the rad a bit and gave it a few taps at the bottom to see if it would dislodge anything...

Ive got one radiator that never seems to be that hot, especially at the bottom of it. Ive tried turning all but that one off but it still stays the same. Im guessing that it is full of sludge so im looking at removing it and cleaning it out. Ive got a combi for my boiler, if i turn off the pilot...

Not been a problem since having it virtually rebuilt. Just need a new outer case and its a brand new boiler.

I know most people come on here to moan how their boiler does'nt work and all the problems they are having with it but i am the opposite today, ive got an excellent working boiler for once. I had it serviced and a new clock put in my sime friendly and now the water is nearly 10 degrees hotter...

There are three fuses in the garage,one for internal lights, one for sockets and one for the outside lights. The sensor is is seperate to the two floodlights so i can aim it higher where i need to while still having the lights aimed downwards. Im not sure what the sensor would be rated for...

Ive got a problem with my outside lights keep tripping the main fuse for them. Originally there were two 100w bulbs connected to a sensor and wired into a 6 amp fuse in the garage fuse box. As they didnt light up much of the driveway i removed the 100w bulbs and fitted a 150w and a 500w...

A neighbour of mine has had the segmental verge fitted and it looks ok. I guess that stuff is not cheap to have done.

I seem to be having a problem with the mortar falling out of the gaps on the edge of my roof. Its coming out on the end of the house where the tiles sit on it, the red in the picture is where its falling out from. How would this be fixed? Is it a case of just chipping the old stuff out and...

New pump fitted was 120 quid all in. The original Sime pump as a whole is no longer made but an Ideal mp63h pump head fits onto the body of the existing pump, grunfos heads don't fit, they are slightly different.Can't say for sure it will fix yours but it was the last thing fitted to mine and...

Ive got the same boiler and had a similar problem with the pilot cutting out. When running the hot water it would run hot for a while then cold then hot again. When the tap was turned off the pilot would then turn off unless the CH was turned to on for when it switched back from HW to CH. Ive...
