Hi Folks, We have a solid brick house (1849) which has some minor damp problems. Please see attached photos of the inside and outside of the wall where damp is. Can anyone tell me what kind of damp it is and what we might be able to do to fix it? The patch on the outside of the wall is where...

Hi, I have a blue water pipe running from the house the the garage where I want to put a tap for a hose. At the house end there is a tap I want to connect the blue water pipe to. I think its standard 25mm blue our door water pipe. So, what parts do I need connect the blue water pipe to...

Thanks. I'll look them up.

Hi, I've moved into an old house with old heating network. If I were to replace the radiators with modern ones which brand/type do you recommend? If not I may take them off one by one and clean them out with a hose.

Yeah, exactly that.

Hi, I need to insulate a loft that has had a ceiling lowered but access is terrible. Does anyone know any methods of insulating with a machine to pump insulating material in?

I actually put Fernox F5 in the old one system before we had the new boiler and flushed it after five days so it shouldn't be that bad right now. Why is it every job you do you feel you are better off doing it yourself? We had underfloor heating laid too in the bathroom before it was...

Ask Laurel & Hardy who fit it!! Spent a fortune on this damned boiler and fitting. Over £3,500. :(

Hope so its a decent brand.

It's a spanking new boiler so it should all be ok. :D It replaced a 25 year old predecessor.. that actually seemed to work ok. It just wasn't very efficient!! How times have changed...

Merci Bien Monsieur! Do you have to be French to do this too? I'll make sure I swear in French if things start going wrong.

Thanks Mandate. So I have to keep my eyes on it for a few days to make sure the cold pressure always sits at 1 bar and no lower as it may lose pressure as air is lost with bleeds. :)

Well the plumber has been paid already so I'm doing his work for him. Actually trust myself to do it ok. I've done this before with a vented heating system (the old one). Wish me luck.

Approx 21 rads yeh. The boiler is a chunky mother... http://www.worcester-bosch.co.uk/homeowner/products/oil-boilers/greenstar-heatslave-external-2532 The plumber was supposed to powerflush it and its been in almost three weeks now with Fernox F5 in!! I've decided to damned well do it...

Hi, I'm going to attempt to drain and refill my heating later. I watch a really good YouTube video about how to do it and I'm confident I can do this easily. What pressure should I refill too on my sealed system. The video said 1 Bar but we have had issues circulating heat around before...

I'm not sure if you can have two. I hope you get on well with it, we have found it to be great. The house stays at 16 degrees in the day and 20 degrees when we are home. Shame the house is solid brick with crap insulation its impossible to heat. This may help you ;)...

It comes with one. That picture is confusing.

The bottle say to keep it in 7 days max I think. I'm worried it is bad to keep in too long. I'd flush it myself but I don't know how. We had a vented system before and I knew how to flsuh that but sealed I have no clue about. Its frustrating, its cost around £3,500 for the boiler with fitting...

I've got one of these for our Worcester Bosch Oil Greenstar External Heatslave. Easy to setup and works great!! http://www.draytoncontrols.co.uk/Digistat3RFProgrammableRoomThermostat.aspx

Hi, We have just had a new Worcester Bosch External Heatslave 20/35 fit. It's been a nightmare. They said it would take two days and it took a week. We had no hot water and later we eventually got the plumber back to find it had been wired wrong. That now works. Fernox F5 has been in it...
