Stick to reputable brands if poss. Vailiant, Worcester Bosch, Baxis etc. Recently i have been fitting baxi platinums they are expensive but look great perform well and come with a 5 year guarentee. However, Ariston are beginning to look quite descent. They give a 5 year guarentee and the...

I don't think you can go to far wrong just pick up something that looks half decent at either plumb center or b and q.

In addition, i would say that if you were to replace the boiler stay away from glow worms. I have been called to no end this year and in some cases are just out of the guarantee period.

Yes it is fine to pick up the other unit. There are 2 types where the dual channel are concerned. 1 is a 24 hour and the other a 7 day. It is quite simple to change the clock. Loosen the screw under the unit and it should pull away. As it has the same backplate for the 24 and 7 day you just need...

The wager stands. I know it will be the problem at hand as do you but you want to keep writing as if to ascertain your position of billy big balls of DIYNOT! Hahaha bet you work as a sole trader cos you would p*** another person off if they worked with you all day!

I know! I have come across a Grundy gone in a year before tho.

Well there is going to be a LOT! Of surface pipework then! My advice to you would be get some people into quote. Let them give you some ideas and prices. Dont go with the cheapest and ask to see peoples previous jobs. Over a computer you cant see the drainage situation get the barings of the...

Sludge in a house that age?! Behave yourself chris! I ll put a wager on my diagnosis. Yes there are other possibilities but im stating the obvious and most likely.

Still difficult to say what is best. Are the floors wooden?

Yes they should be. There are exceptions but its done on a point system. Im just going to look at the photos give me 1 min.

Hahahah you want to tell me when someone asks for a rad in a room you analyse the boiler get your fancy calculator out scratch you head for an hour and look a novice or do you get it done quick, fairly accurately and get gone. Nige is right do my equation go bigger and put a stat on. Beautiful!

Will helm yes that would work but when you open upstairs again the problem will continue.

Is this one of these boilers with a positive pressure fan? If so are the case seals in bad condition. If they are it may explain your prob.

So you are talking about a power shower. Right. Well what everyone else has neglected to ask is what size cylinder have you got? If you do not take this into consideration you may find your having two minute showers as you will be left with nothing but cold water. They drain hot water...

You can buy from plumb center a inch and a half adaptor which will take a 21.5mm pipe. It looks similar to the second picture. You have to drill a 16mm hole into the pipe then clamp the adaptor over. then the 21.5mm goes into the connection on the adaptor.

It does my head in why does everyone on this site think balancing up is the problem when people complain with these problems? No! THE PUMP IS WEAK. It is hot upstairs as hot water convects upward and because the pump is weak the hot water is no longer under pressure and so no longer wants to go...

Without seeing the job it is difficult to comment. Considerations must also be made for running some pipework to drainage of some description too. Obviously what with you living in a flat you have limited options and i would recommend a combination boiler. Im sure if you could upload some...

You shouldn't pull up the pin. You have been decieved push it down and hit it with a pair of grips continually until it returns on its own accord. Spray it with some WD first.

Italian junk. I wouldn't give you a thank you. Stick to your Baxi platinums, Vailliants, Worcester Boschs

It is found in the high efficiency pack, sent to all installers prior to taking the examination.
