Absolute xxxx. Plastic yeah ok under the floor, to bring poly through the floor is poor DIY, let alone charged for work.

Thanks Lee. Tony, this was my point you can create a "warm roof" as in loads of new builds I see. At the end of the day if the fabric is upto temp, then all is good. You only have to look at the rad sizes in new properties, mentally small. 3 bed new build 3 x 450 x 600 singles plus 450 x 400 on...

I am trying to work out heat loss calcs on a thatched property. There is no access to the roofspace, so the insulation if any is unknown. If you do the calcs as a standard felt & concrete tile with no Fiberglass the losses are massive. The thatch would be providing insulation and creating a...

Looks like a Dudley Vantage concealed cistern

Have got a 19/24 cbi with ignition lockout. I fitted a few years back, but never been called out to one. Everything suggests PCB. Boiler going through sequence as it should. Burner lights, flame neon on board comes on then flame drops out. Restarts then after a few attempts goes to...

Wow, absolute crap. 10mm is no probs when done properly, I'd be asking some questions about this install. Rather see 10mm hep20 than that mess. Don't pay and weigh in the scrap. I feel guilty about a rippled bend in a roofspace, hence the spidge bag.

I've yet to get round there. It's at a friends place so no tools with me at the time. Just wanted a few ideas before heading there (no local). I have heard in the past about gas/air adjustment causing noise problems.

Anyone out there got any ideas on a noisy Ecotec plus 831. On dhw there is sometimes a droning type noise from the boiler. Really difficult to trace where its coming from. Only happens when the boiler is on max demand on dhw. It can also happen if you overide the boiler to max in servicing mode...

Not much before changing the board. The boiler ran through its functions as it should after the new board fitted. The only thing was the time in between firing up, either on the boiler stat or an external call. There are 25 of these fitted on the same development. We had Ideal out to at least 8...

I should have known better than touching one of these, from previous experience. Original problem. Boiler completely dead, power to board nothing after that. No probs had a second hand board from another Icos stuck it in, bingo. So picked up a new board fitted it, end of I thought. Noticed the...

The mention of Ideal boilers on here usually provokes quite a response. Always spec worcester personally although might be heading Vaillant soon. However I have fitted a good few of these Logic + boilers under contract. Ideal might have finally sorted their problems out, but only time will tell...

Go for the highest output you can afford. A couple of hundred quid when the bath is going cold before it has filled up is worth paying. All depends on the existing gas supply size. Worcester 42cdi, great if you can get the gas to it. Getting the gas to the boiler is where the price can really...
