anyone?! is their anything else aside from the heat exchanger that could be causing this?!

that really is awesome, good on you I say, if you can earn that sort of money then why not! Wish i'd taken up plumber when I was younger!

wow, you charge £800 odd quid to fit a new boiler? Is this just the labour or does this include the boiler? No wonder people say Gas Men can print their own money lol! I think I need a career change!

Hi, we was getting lukewarm water from mates heatline vizo 24. I found a topic on this site which had same problem and they were advised to remove heat exchanger, flush it through etc, so i tried the same, removed exchanger, flushed it through, got lots of little black bits come out of it...

Im no expert on boilers and plumbing, but i know enough of the basics to be pretty sure the room state only controls the central heating, not the domestic hot water.

Hi, im going to change the pressure relief valve on the heatline vizo 24, however there seems to be very little room to get to it. Has anyone changed one on the heatline prv before? Its not seating correctly and water constantly dripping after filling loop failed, allowing the system to get...

can you use any flue kit of does it have to be from that specific manufacturer?

We are currently havign a few issues with a friends Heatline Vivo boiler. We are thinking of having it moved to the other end of the kitchen whilst we get the faults fixed, may as well do it all together. However we had an RGI guy out today to quote us for this work and he who said we cannot...

Whats the best way to clear a blocked heat exchanger? I'm not sure if i should use chemicals such as domestic descaling solution that you can buy from the supermarket, or pressure washer etc. Would chemicals damage the component?

how difficult is it to change the divereter valve and motor head? is it something a good DIY'er can do? I've changed a couple of parts on my old biasi boiler, heat exchanger etc. Where do i get one of these service kits for the diverter valve/motor head? Finally i should also mention that...

thanks for the replies lads. Dont know if this is relevant, but when i lowered the electric control panel, i noticed the earth wire from the mains supply was not connected to anything, just seemed to have been cut. Is this normal or does this boiler need to be earthed?

Hi, a mate asked me to have a look at his boiler as he said the pressure kept dropping. A bit of water appeared to be dripping intermittently from under the boiler. couldnt work out where but seemed to be on the left hand side. Anyway i took off cover, lowered electric control panel and after a...

thanks for the reply. I've just had a look at the ones ive brought, it doesnt say bi-directional. It also says only "The TRV is only suitable for use as a reverse flow valve when the system differential pressure, across the valve, does not exceed 0.25 bar" Can someone explain what this means...

Hi, i'm adding TRVS to my central heating system, but due to the nature of the property, its difficult to tell if the flow and return pipes are the same all around the system, as in i'm nogt sure if some are conected to the lef of the rad and some to the right. Its seems like they are. Now I...

Hi, i was hoping some electricians can advise me on a concern i have. I was removing skirting today and I accidently "chipped" a cable behind one of the bits of wood. I few sparks came off when the chisel hit the wire. Ive had a close look at the cable and the copper wire on black/neutral wire...

they are UPVC however they seem rather old as they have no in-bui8ld venting grill on the window frame. The guys we had out to check the damp issue said we definately needed air bricks. However the only other wall where i could put them is the side wall as thats all brick, but as its a "flank"...

Thanks for quick reply. Yes he said the cause was condensation on internal walls. I've had a look on the outside walls and there is definately no air vents visible. However another issue i have is the outside wall upstairs is not brick but similar to roof tiles. Here is pic of it, not sure...

Hi all, i'm getting a lot of damp in my upstairs bedrooms and had a specialist out who says the probably cause is lack of ventilation as there are no air vents in the room. He suggested installing air bricks/air vents. However he made no mention where they should go. So i've decided to do...

i've had a look but cant find one anywhere!

Hi We are doing up our property and want to remove the caste iron bath, however it measures about 166cm end to end and is a very tight fit. I cannot find an acrylic bath anywhere which measures 166cm, the nearest is 170cm. Is their any way around this? How much space could i create by...
