OK so if I have a micro leak with getting sucked in, wouldn't water come out at some point? Is there a good way to find it, presume you wouldn't hear the air getting sucked in because of the noise of the pump? Is the only way to replace the pipework from expansion tank? Is the pipe likely to...

Yes- originally when the boiler was replaced this was done by the installers, and I added some to the expansion tank on refilling the system. I forgot to say the heated towel rail was added after the last radiator so the run to it is probably the longest. This gets no air in it, just...

History - New conventional boiler installed in March. Non Condensing, non combi. Worcester bosch. Cold water tank in loft with expansion tank to fill central heating. hot water tank also in bedroom above boiler (which is in the kitched) System only used lightly in summer for hot water, a...

Yes it does help - thankyou. Did you have the separate timer & thermostat?

Is this a really dumb question then as no replies? If I'm being stupid or missing the point please advise. I'm not easily offended, I just like to learn more... Thanks Mark

I'm redoing the whole shower room, and in about a weeks time I wish to purchase install some under floor heating, with thermostat and timer. Does anyone have any experience of these and could perhaps recommend one of the 'kit' systems on the market? It will cover about 4m squared, sited on...

Central Heating gods: I just took delivery of a Chrome Towel rail, new. I could hear something small moving about inside, like flecks of rust when turing over. On removing the blanking plate the inside looks very brown and rusted. Lots and lots of rust flecks came out, I can still hear...

I'm looking into underfloor heating for when I do my showerroom, which will be a tiled floor. Approx size 2.5m x 2m. There is no radiator in there at the moment but I'm going to add a heated towel rail as well. Ideally I'd like the underfloor heating with a timer and thermostat & the digital...

DOH.. own goal. thanks.

I'm putting in a quadrangle shower and a shower panel which states it needs from 1-3 bar pressure. The current shower I have has no pump, and is fed from the hot water tank. The pressure is OK but I'd always wanted a bit more flow from it. There are twin shower pumps (presumably twin means...

I will be replacing my existing shower room, and wondered if there are any things I need to consider that I have not yet. The existing shower is fed from Hot water tank and cold I presume is from Cold tank? The water pressure coming out of the show is OK but I'd like it to be increased...

MasonA I adjusted the door tensioner as you said below and its fine now. Was quite easy to adjust, I just removed it, adjusted and re-installed. Many thanks! Mark

many thanks. I'll give it a go tonight.

It was installed before we moved in but yes there is a chain between the door and the frame, I presumed it was security thing? Can this be adjusted?

That looks perfect - many thanks Do you know of any places in the UK that sell them? Specifically this one: http://www.stanleyhardware.com/default.asp?CATEGORY=HDW+SS+DOOR+CLOSER&TYPE=PRODUCT&PARTNUMBER=179144&SDesc=Black+Coated%281D%29+Automatic+Hold%2DOpen+Air%2DControlled+Door+Closer...

I have a heavy internal door from my kitchen into the garage. The door will close on it own and tend to slam. I have young children and I want to get a 'door closer' or something to slow its closing rate. However if I get a 'closer' won't this just add to the speed it closes as the...

I've had 2 independant corgi plumbers advise its ok to fit a standard boiler. Apparently there is objection from DIY stores who supply standard boilers to trade who have stock etc, and for that reason the issue is still a bit 50 / 50. Apparently CORGI themselves advised its ok to fit a...

ChrisR - thanks for the advice. Questions: > I'd also convert it to a sealed system What do you mean by that? Not sure I understand The £1600 will be for a standard, not a condensing boiler. FYI all but 1 of the rads have TRV, is this relevant to the weeps you advise? Could it...

OK, The person who may install it (if I go that route) is a competant plumber. If I don't get a corgi person to check it, does it matter? One plumber told me that BG keep records of the boiler and its serial number etc, and I'd need council permission (or at least notification) in order...

SO: Should we replace with a standard boiler for £1600 all in? Should I get a worcester bosche and 'self fit'? If we do self fit, presume the sensible move it to get a corgi approved person to check it?
