    Can we level multiple floor heights?

    Hi, Just looking for some advice on possibly levelling a number of adjacent floor heights, currently all at different levels. I’ve done a quick sketch and taken some pics to explain the scenario more clearly. Ideally, we’d like to bring all the floors up to the same level as the rest...

    Central heating not getting very warm

    Guys, I'm buzzing. Got the filter out and it was horrendously dirty. Thought it had corroded it was that bad! Then when I could start to see it was silver underneath and not rust I thought we might be on to a winner. Reassembled everything and the boiler is now operating like new! All rads...

    Central heating not getting very warm

    Have now removed what I thought was the cap for the filter but only found the above. Consulting the manual pointed me in the direction of this large cap for the filter but I don't have the tools to get at it. Therefore all I've been able to do is partially drain the system and refill...

    Central heating not getting very warm

    Found the boiler drain off point, do I just open this until no more water comes out? Thanks

    Ok, what's the best way to drain to below the boiler level? Thanks

    Central heating not getting very warm

    Just double checking I'm looking at the right thing before I start taking things apart. The website has rotated the image so is the cover in question the one toward the middle left of the photo? Will much water come out when I remove the cap? Should I use the isolation valves? And I'll need a...

    Central heating not getting very warm

    Pump is a Grundfos UP 15-60 A0. I can't see any obvious speed control on it but there looks like there's a removable panel on the left hand side with a small screw in its centre. Would it be removing this to check?

    Central heating not getting very warm

    A bit more info: The return pipe work is still cold when the boiler cuts out after its first cycle. The boiler doesn't actually fire for very long. TRVs pins are all ok.

    Central heating not getting very warm

    Ok Jack, does this need to be the first time it fires in a given heating period or at any time during that period?

    Central heating not getting very warm

    Ok, so the return pipe is a little warm. The pipes around the pump are very hot, at least those that I can touch are. The three upstairs rads are 50oc top, 45 Middle and 40 at their bottoms

    Central heating not getting very warm

    Just done the bath scenario. The rads stay cold. The CH flow pipe becomes tepid but only close to the boiler, the pipe work connected to the pressure relief valve gets a little warmer than tepid but again, only close to the boiler and there isn't any water coming out from the end of it outside...

    Central heating not getting very warm

    They are a bit colder towards the bottom but still warm. I will get some temps tomorrow. I know the flow pipe out of the boiler (just underneath) is really hot, like too hot to touch, as is the pump. I will check re the return pipe, the pipes around the pump, and the bath scenario. Thanks

    Central heating not getting very warm

    Hi all, We've encountered a problem with our CH as the colder weather is getting more frequent. The radiators don't seem to be getting very hot, and one remains completely cold. We have a small two bedroom town house (terrace style in effect). One radiator in each main room, 5 in total...

    Baxi 105e getting stuck on hot water

    This is slightly the issue as well as I have previously had the hot water differential valve replaced at a cost of £125 and the same plumber has quoted me £300 for the complete diverter valve assembly including pre-filter on the cold inlet. That's why I've got the price of £125 from a second...

    Baxi 105e getting stuck on hot water

    Sorry I was thinking as it was a 15 minute job that I should be able to sort it myself. I've had a price to fix it for £125. Would you say that's acceptable or too much more than the £75? I'm in Stoke-on-Trent for reference. Cheers
