Hi I'm going say this straight out, I have been a bit silly. I wanted a flange fitting to the hot water cylinder for the shower (previously linked to the hot water overflow?), I don't have any time time so phoned a guy who put his flyer through the door (first mistake). He turned up...

Symptoms Thanks for the reply, you have confirmed what I was thinking even if I had to batten to the joists to get centres down, it would be a proper job. However time has become an issue, therefore I will need to progress with a 6mm ply and a 14mm board over the existing floorboards. You...

Hi Currently renovating my house and I would like to fit a hard wood floor, Oak or similar throughout the ground floor. Current floor has boards on joists, suspended over dry concrete slab, approx 18” void. House is mid 60’s build. I am considering removing the existing floor boards and...

Had a similar problem, advice as above find outside stockcock. I was luck removed valve and tap from a new stop cock and screwed into the old body. Rob

Hi With reference to your Reason8 bell box, where did you purchase it. I bought mine from Screwfix and had a similar problem, caused me a lot of fault finding before I concluded it was the box that was faulty, as was the second one. The third box was ok. Rob

Hi I would be grateful for some advice on hedging for front of my house; the hedge is mainly required for privacy and aesthetics. Currently there is a low brick wall; about 2ft high, 3ft wide of single brick construction, about 30ft in length and planted out with a number of hardy...

Thanks for all the advice and apoligies for not posting a reply more quickly. Firstly, put in a second bottle of F2 and it has worked perfectly. Boiler now operating very quitely, I have been able to turn the pump down. I am still planning to put in the DX40, but hopefully this can wait...

Thanks for the advice, I have a Honeywell auto bypass valve already will fit when I drain down to put DX 40 in. Any tips on setting for this boiler? Rob

Ok This may be a dumb observation, but; the Fernox Injector, £ 75.00? Garden chemical pressure sprayer £10.00?

Update Fernox F2 has made quite a difference :D , tempted to put another bottle in. However will wait for the weekend and add the DX 40, to achieve a more long term solution. The noise would appear to be due to restricted flow in the heat exchanger as suspected and confirmed by previous...

2 2port valves, S plan?

Hi Quick question is it worth retro fitting a bypass valve? and if so what would I set the pressure to? Currently the system (Glowworm EP 60 F) has a gate valve on the bypass. Regards Rob

Fernox DS40 - Advice As in my previous post I have a noisy Glowworm Economy Plus 60 F in an open vent system with S plan controls. A look at the previous threads on this subject has convinced me that Frenox DS40 is the way to go; I was looking far a little advice on its use. Is the only...

Nickso Have put Fernox F2 in as an interim and have DX40 on order to put in at the weekend. Rob

Hi Nickso Thanks for the clarification on the h/e, kind of understand their point of view. I have had search through related threads and Fernox DS 40 seems to the way to go. Rob

Hi My boiler sounds like a 737 landing, ok maybe a 727 :D , would appreciate some help/comments. Moved into my current house a 1960’s 3 bed detached house, about 18 months ago. It has an open vent, fully pumped heating system with a Glowworm Economy Plus 60F. The pipe work seems a...

Chris There is a pump in the system ! is it possible to post a photo on here? Regards Rob

Hi Just moved into a new house, heating control would appear to be unique, currently installed as follows: Open vent system, RWB2 controller, no room stat, single zone valve in CH loop and a cyl stat !!! all wiring stuffed into electrical junction box and 240 v to RWB2. Assume this...
