I am planning on fitting one of those light fittings that have a built in extractor fan above our shower and due to the type of loft we have there is no space for the pipe to be fitted in the soffits below the guttering. Instead I would like to have the extractor pipe located in a roof tile...

Not always true - Some let you have them for 12 months and then if you think being on a meter is too expensive you have the option to go back to unmetered (rated) supply. I think if you sell your house then the new people dont get the option. Depends on your mater company though

Could a pilot light use this much ?

Yep the Draytons get my vote. You get what you pay for and also you can get spare parts for the Draytons. There are three types, white / silver and gold.

I have spoke to a number of plumbers about what I want to do in my house and its interesting that a number of said - "How long are you going to stay in here?". When I then say "as long as I possibly can" then they tell me to use copper - Interesting that !! One mentioned thet the rubber...

yep - I guess its easier to get alot of the gas / heating stuff all done at the same time! Thing I hate about heating replacements (esp in our house) is that it means messing up three rooms. I am a firm beliver in getting one room done at a time but with having our boiler in the kitchen...

ok thanks - gives me an idea. I want to do alot of the chasing out etc myself so the gasman can concentrate on him job - esp with the prices they charge !

I am getting some central heating work done in a while and I am thinking about getting a baynut style outlet fitted oin the kitchen. The problem I have is that the pipe will have to run down the wall and I would like to chase out a channel for the pipe so that I can then plaster over it once...

Thanks guys. I connected it to mains pressure last night and it works like a dream. Can you close this thred now ? Thanks Mark.

State of the system ? All the rads in our house seem reasonable and over the past 3-4 years when I have decorated each of the rooms I have removed each radiator cleaned it up, repainted it and fitted new TRVs. All the horrible horrible compression joins have been replaced with lead free...

I see - I guess I should also be asking for an additive to be added when the new system is fitted: http://www.diyfixit.co.uk/nflash/centralheating/CHCorrosion/Corrosion.htm

Just what I was thinking about - I was going to try and connect my hosepipe to it overnight and then check it next day for any leaks. Only thing is does anyone know what the difference is between mains pressure and a Baxi Platinum condensing combi boiler ? I am going to be getting my boiler...

Its an old ish radiator that I will be refitting some new TRVs to that matches the rest of the radiators in the house so I guess I should be ok. see: http://wantitnow.ebay.co.uk/Radiator-to-match-below_W0QQadidZ190004909960 I have managed to find a number at my local skip that exactly...

Is there anyway I can pressure test an old radiator myself ? Whats involved and is there anywhere I can take it to ? EDIT: Just found one of these : http://www.hss.co.uk/g/68820/Pipe_Pressure_Tester.html Will that do ?

about 50 quid if you send me an email ! [email protected]

I did this yesterday and they said that they dont have anything like this to match. Oh well :roll:

:BUMP: I'm still after one of these if anyone around the northwest has any !? I am really annoyed as I managed to find a new model that would match this one (it also had a round top single panel style) on the internet but I forgot to bookmark it - dough ! Size needs to ok to use in a...

Is that 22mm from the main stop cock to the combi boiler in the loft ?

Hmm you have got me worried now - I am considering getting a Combi Condensing boiler fittied in the loft and so reading this I am having 2nd thoughts as to what you can do. I just wondered: - Is your stop tap turned all the way on ? - Have you had your lead pipe replaced ? I guess you...
