Apologies if this is not in the right forum. Feel free to move if appropriate. I am planning to replace bathroom/update. Currently does not have an extractor fan. I have a window. I think I read that in England/Wales building regs insist on fitting one, even with a window in situ. I live in N...

Thanks David, I know this is probably obvious but the Honeywell stat referred to in this forum has 2 Parts to it (receiver and controller) in 2 different rooms. Which part is considered the thermostat for the purpose of knowing which rad to keep the TRV off. sorry if im not making myself...

Could someone tell me which radiator should not have a TRV with this wireless stat?. Is it the room where the receiver is placed or the room where the controller will be placed. I know it is probably obvious but I need to check. should be easy for someone :) many thanks

It says it is a low level balanced flue. Boiler situated directly against outside wall and flue going directly out that wall into open space. So considering the casing in when you say 'close to' what would definetly be a safe distance to leave between flue and wooden structure?.....again many thanks

Hi, I really appreciate your time taken to respond. Many thanks

Before I start Can I say a big thank you for those on this site. I have been posting on various help sites since I started some house renovations and this one by far is the most helpful in the responses. OK - Just had my heating updated with new condensing boiler/programmer/stats/trvs etc...

Thanks very much for your time that helps me to feel better. I bought it new online for about 86 pounds. It came with all instructions and I hope its not second hand (just good price), however good to know about binding. Many thanks.

can anyone help?

Just bought this stat via the internet after information gained from here. I want to make sure I have not been fobbed of with an inferior model boxed up as the 927. The reason I say this is the different codes on the box to those I seen on other online shops. The box says CMT927A1049 which...

Why is this?...it seems quite a common thing done today. I see them in halls all the time, thanks.

To start I don't know a great deal about this area. I'm renovating my property and updating the CH system (very old boiler). I have a plumbing and heating engineer coming in few weeks to do the work. I have Oil CH and am installing a conventional condensing boiler. I have a hot water...

Many thanks for above P.S. I will avoid the debate on postage charges :)

thanks tony, I would have thought there were also but if there are they dont advertise very well. I am quite competent at researching these types of things. I will be using a local heating engineer to install and will of course seek their advise and expertise, but I prefer to source materials...

It is so frustrating to not have the options that you may have if you live in England, Wales etc..........does anyone of a good and reputable place I can buy an oil boiler in northern ireland where they are competitive with price and range............oh i wish i lived in england

edit subject message as looking for something different now :wink:

I agree and I would too........still weighing it up........can u recomend a type of boiler not neceseraily a make and model.....but more criteria to look out for etc......i.e. condensing boiler or not?

thanks for the thought, i certainly considered it, but it would be far from cheaper, altho defintely it would look better. less than £100 will box it in. nearer £1000 to replace, including the price of a plumber

As part of renovating an old property, I have to remove an unsafe external structure where the external boiler (very old! - grant 50-70 Euroflame compact oil boiler) is currently placed. I need to case or box in the boiler and the pipes leading into the house to protect it from the weather as it...

Hi folks, first post and new to plumbing so please bear with me. i am in process of renovating an old home i bought (all i could afford :)). I will be getting a plumber in to do some stuff but i want to buy materials myself so i wish to check 2 areas. 1) I am completely refitting bathroom. i...
