I'm shortly going to be getting a new combi boiler fitted and one of the options the installer has offered is to fit a deareator. I'd never even heard of such a thing before but with Google's help I do at least have a vague idea what one does now. What I'm not sure about is whether it's a...

Good point, well made ;)

Just when I thought I'd narrowed it down to a choice of one...! o_O:D Thanks for the recommendation. Can I ask, is that recommendation based simply on the fact that he's geographically the closest Intergas-approved supplier/fitter? Or that he's the closest one you'd actually recommend? Only...

Thanks muggles...I'm in Sale in South Manchester

Thanks for the info...that's pretty much the conclusion I'd come to, that it would work to some degree but potentially not fully. And when investing this much cash in a new heating system, I want to make sure everything's as compatible as possible. I've heard other people recommend Intergas but...

I'm in the market for a new boiler and after a great deal of research it looked like I'd got it down to one of two models - one is Vaillant and the other Baxi. I also need the ability to independently control different temps in different rooms, so had identified Honeywell EvoHome as the best...

This is exactly what I'm starting to wonder, as the three installers I've had quotes from all had a very clear preference for one particular brand. Now I'm not saying they're definitely partial, and they may genuinely think Brand A is better then Brand B, but it is hard to know for sure. The...

My bad...sorry! Thanks for moving I'd rather have a boiler breakdown than listen to more Brexit woes ;-)

I realise there are many, many threads online asking the same old "which boiler should I get" question, so I'm aware that I'm covering some rather well trodden ground here, but I was wondering if anyone could provide any personal experience (not just "I had a mate who reckoned this, that or the...

No they didn't! They turned up and did the job and I didn't hear anything from them! Well...I'm assuming they didn't do the test, but maybe they did and just never quite got as far as telling me? Anyway, I'm going to get back to them and ask the question...

OK, so bit of an update from today. Dilalio...did what you suggested and diverted the input that was going into the tap into a bucket. As it turns out, the pressure is absolutely fine! If anything it was slightly higher than expected. So that pretty much narrows the issue down to the tap...

This is what I don't know...it seems like a valid possibility to me, but I have no way of knowing. What would be the best way to test for this?

Thanks Rob...presumably taking a pressure reading is something that would need some kind of specialist kit? Would most plumbers have this?

Thanks for all the replies so far - much appreciated. So UU have now been and replaced the stop cock in the street...but there's no difference in the situation :( The water pressure in the bathroom sink tap is still very low (I just tested...28 seconds to fill a 1 litre bottle with the cold...

Yes new shower and fittings. The weird thing is that it was so bad to start with and then improved a bit without anything being done? If it was the bore of the fittings it would stay the same wouldn't it?

If it is an airlock, what's the best way to address?

Sorry - meant to mention that but completely forgot! I have a combi boiler so no cistern or hot water cylinder in the roof

So I've just had a new bathroom fitted - all very nice and all that, but the water pressure in the sink, bath and shower is way down on what it was prior to fitting. Initially when I first turned the tap on upstairs (the refit was done whilst I was on holiday so this was my first use of it), the...

OK...guess that means I'll have to fill the hole with plaster, as the screw mountings aren't going to have much to go into otherwise

Hi everyone I have Cat6 cable running from my cable router downstairs to the study upstairs and I need to fit a mounting box at each end. The wall in the upstairs study is plaster on brick and there's a gap in the plaster just above the skirting board where the cable comes through: The...
