I've been trying to call you Tony. The number I have, which I've disguised in case you're rather not have it posted is: 020 8**1 9**9 Is that the correct number & would you have time monday afternoon or tuesday morning next week? If not, when? Thanks.

I will try to charge the expansion vessel to start with, but if I need to make repairs, can I simply ad the generic expansion vessel to the return heating pipe, or do I need to link it with the pressure release valve? It seems sensible that I can simply add it to the system, but my plumber...

Do you work in SW11 Tony? I have found your number on the internet, I'd like to have a word with my plumber to confirm that he's not really sure what to do, then contact you if you cover my area. I don't want to burn my bridges if you know what I mean..... Thanks

I phoned them and they confirmed the £195 all inclusive repair, but they told me there was no chance of a booking until after Christmas.

No big deal. I just didn't want bigger estimates because I was assumed to be female.

The valves on your very hot radiator are probably fully open & allowing water to flow back to the boiler too easily. The others are getting less share of the hot water than they're due. Also, if your main CH thermostat is in the same area as the radiator with no thermostatic valve, the whole...

Thanks. That sounds really fair compared with the other options I have. I'll call them this morning when they open & see if they can help me. Will let you know how I get on.

Polly is the name of my dog, my own name is of the male variety. :lol:

Thanks, there is loads of height above this boiler. So are you talking probably can be done that way or definitely?

Thanks for your reply. My plumber wants £75 an hour. He's looked at it and says it might be the air pressure switch or it might be the PCB. Would you be happy paying someone £75 an hour to tell you what it might be? He wants to try things 1 at a time to see what fixes it. in the meantime I...

So is my plumber.

:) Nothing against Cuba. I used to live in Key West myself and admire the sign that I was only 80 miles from there. But I don't want to fall foul of UK laws as I'm renting the place to people and face prosecution if I do work that requires a qualified person by law.

Thanks. But I can't help notice the flag on your post. Are you in the UK & aware of the rules re CORGI registered plumbers?

Thanks. He did say water came out of it, so it may have had it. But did you mean it's only had it if water comes out after the attempt to re-pressurise? But I like the idea of generic one fitted to the pipes to save time & money. I guess I can install that myself as well as it's not a gas job...

2nd topic for a different boiler. I've had this boiler for 8 years of reliable service, but on friday night it died. My plumbers response when he saw it today was 'not economical to fix, replace'. But that is his usual response & 8 years isn't that long to have the same boiler. The...

This may have been covered by another reply, but have you checked that your pump isn't set too low? It may need adjusting to pump faster.

Hi there, Hopefully someone can help me with an independant opinion on this. I have a Jaguar boiler, 5 years old. It's been releasing pressure & requiring topping up too often recently. At first I thought it was the pressure release valve being faulty & needing replacing which I did, but my...
