In England yes it is required that the installation is registered with building control. But im afraid i can't say for certain if this is the case in Scotland. But if he has done he job in copper i would presume hes not a cowboy.

S plan has two motorised valves a Y plan has one. A synchron motor will set you back ten quid plumber to fit one if it is the problem obviously, around 40 pounds.

Personally if the pump is working and motorised valves are working ok and the system is full of sludge i would be checking for a blocked cold feed or partial blocked cold feed. If there is poor circulation this can certainly be responsible.

Yep plumb centre or pipeline centre.

If the olive is of the correct size then you would presume finger tight and a nip with a spanner would suffice. However some of the copper olives are very hard and crap. So i would suggest you apply some jointing compound and give it a good tighten. Or throw the olive away and get a brass one.

I would imagine there are different regs for scotland yes. For example now in England we have to conform to energy efficiency regs and fit condensing boilers however it is still legal to install standard efficiency boilers in Scotland. However, if the gas man was kitchen fitters mate check he...

Hi. You need to establish if the HT lead is broken and sparking elswhere. Pull the lead of the porcelin igniter and hold it to the metal casing and check it sparks. If it does check that the thermacouple is clean. If there is no spark generated the igniter crystals may have broken down and the...

This may be that the pump has begun to slow or packed up all together. If the latent heat can not get away from the boiler it will bang.

Showers in Leicester (Cheap) try somewhere like Best buy on kent street of humberstone road. Dont go to poachins or plumb centre they are very expensive.

But the hot water tank didnt fill? Try pushing the ball valve down.

I have not encountered a pump soley for the use of hot water. HOwever, obviously shower pumps do boost hot water, however they can use up to 12 litres a minute, thus you need a large tank and cylinder. If you do not have the space to accommodate these then yes the unvented method is probably...

If the stop tap to the house is wide open (check that) then it may be that the washer has become dislodged hence blocking/ restricting flow of water.

If the system is a s - plan design then you will find that the synchronic motor has probably packed up on the hot water motorised valve.

Turn system off so that there is no pump running. Open the valves and vent the rad. Supposedly when a pump is running and you vent a rad it can actually suck in air opposed expelling it.

Bath heights vary dependent on the bath panel simply measure the intended panel then make the bath the appropriate height.

This is under guarentee get worcester out.

I would say there is a strong chance the pump is knackered the banging and the stat cutting the boiler off is caused by the latent heat at the boiler end i.e the pump is not circulating the heat away from the boiler quick enough hence it bangs, overheats, cuts off. Change the pump.

I would suggest you turn all other radiators off bar the one that isn't working correctly. This should therefore prioritse the radiator. It may also clear an air lock if there is one (possibly). If the radiator comes hot you know that the system needs balancing. If it doesn't i would try to pull...

Can't you just heal it with your hands and feed the 5000 plumbers?

Yes 15 to 10 reducer will sort it. There wont be any marked pressure reduction. Does that mountie with the wolf live in your apartments?
