Thanks for that Robbie, Another question if I may ? The bare metal edge on the plasterers beadings ? Do they need painting with anything or just cover them with emulsion ? I was wondering if they need a metal primer or something ? Will the emulsion not wash off metal ? Thanks...

Hopefully - if the decorating goes well :lol:

Sorry got it on twice.

Good afternoon all, I have had numerous walls skimmed on my hall, stairs and landing, only a few mm's. I am wondering - do I do any filling of small marks before or after the mist coat of emulsion. I don't want to ruin the polished finish. What is the best product to use - as I find it...

Hi Andy, I will take a look at my manual, out of interest. Just to see what the issue number is ? Would it matter to you if you had no fga test info to work with ? What does it tell you and how can you alter it if it was wrong ? Cheers Stoyer. p.s. -- Heating Engineer never...

Andy Wrote, Has your boiler got a sampling point ,which you should be able to see right at the top of the boiler on the flue elbow, about the size of a pound coin? Hi Andy, Yes it has - a little white screw-on cap just above the boiler case. Maybe that's where its been checked in the...

Andy, This FGA, would mean the guy goes outside pushes it into the flue and takes a reading ? I have had it serviced every year bar one by Heateam - and never has anyone been out of the house. The only guy that did was the Independant last year and he checked the meter in the garage...

Andy, I will be checking the service instructions left by the installer - way back when, to see if it mentions using the probe you guys talk about so much. Not sure it does !!!! :wink: :lol: Namsag could just be right - :oops: By the way - I did not say its been fine since...

Hi All, Out of interest my Baxi Barcelona is working perfectly well. It has not missed a beat since last year when Heateam put in a new burner unit because the seal had gone on the old one and the item had been updated. (info courtesy of this site - thanks) I am having it serviced...

Why not, switch it off - remove one of the top plugs and drip a wick in. Should be able to tell from that whats in it ?

So -- do I insist on a strip down and clean type job or do I settle for a probe up my flue, and a cup of tea. :?: :?: I think I may have a few questions for my new heating engineer ? :lol: Stoyer

Hi Holty, Thanks for the replies - a big help. Does it reflect in your charges if the boiler is modern ? I would of thought the garage guy would of pointed out that he may not be able to solve the problem and there is the possiblity of charges being incurred. I certainly would of...

Holty, you wrote - guess what it had a leak, but now im responsable for it I would say - yes you are and thank goodness you found it. That's your job and responsiblity to the customer and the establishment you belong too. Hope you repaired it, you could just have saved there lives. :wink...

The replies I have gotten prove I am right to be concerned :? If the surface tests show its basically ok - then charge the amount and off we go. Or be lucky and get an engineer that will "SERVICE" as per the request of the customer. Surely a service is a service - a safety check is a...

Hi Had another thought - maybe the rail comes with no water and is filled after installation ? Maybe - while its cold you could slacken carefully the "bleed screw" ? Maybe its requires a "top up" of water - if indeed its water that's inside ? Hope any of this is helpful, Stoyer

Hello, To let air out, the space left will need to be filled with another substance ? If it is not connected to anything - air will not come out ? Is the space supposed to be there to allow for heat expansion of the liquid that's heating up inside ? I am no expert here but thinking...

LandyAndy, thank you for your response, I have never seen any engineer use an analyser machine on my boiler :? -- My worry is how do I ensure its done correctly, given the price of gas/safety it needs to be spot on. Poxi - very helpful, thank you. :roll: Thanks for your help...

Hi, Does it connect to anything ? If not and you bled it - how does the "water?" come out - its not under pressure from C/H system ? I'm confused now too ??!! Stoyer

Hello All, I have a Baxi Barcelona System Boiler, fitted about 6/7 years ago. Its has been basically dependable, with no big issues. I have had it serviced every year by Heateam. Except last year when an independant company did it. A short while later it started to go off after a short...

Thanks for the reply JohnD, I will have a look at the product you used. Cheers Stoyer
