Thanks Andrew!

The manual of the boiler I would like to buy (i.e. Intergas Rapid Plus 25) shows the following: However my specific set-up is not really showing, do you think I can get away with 25mm distance between the gutter and the vertical flue? Or does it have to be 300mm? Thanks!

Hi all, As per diagram below (sorry it was quickly drawn), I would like to install a boiler in a lean-to. The gutters are shown in red, how far does the flue (shown as a thick arrow pointing up) need to be from the gutter (the top gutter in red)?

That's correct, the pump moves the water towards the boiler.

I cannot see it, it is missing. I can see that kit 230336BAX should come with all the following: I found a shop with the part in stock but they only sell the actual thermostat (other parts such as pipe, metal plate are missing): Can a plumber still install it?

He wrote to me "all safety measures in place", I am still awaiting for him to confirm he either installed an overheat thermostat or if there was already one in place. There was one day I was out when he was doing some work, so he might have installed it, though it does not sound promising as he...

@ianmcd & @Gasguru , I hope you can help me a bit more resolving the issue with my "blocked" cold feed, actually I am now sure it is blocked, here is the story so far. Basically I have 2 Speedfit manifolds (refer to the photo below) serving a total of 7 radiators: The first manifold...

@Gasguru I am very impressed, not many people know about this Spartan kit! A lot of the plumbers I got over the years ran away when seeing it. Interesting piece of kit (I attached a brochure if people are interested), but after so many years of loyal service it is now gone. Believe it or not I...

I do now have an expansion vessel (though it is grey) and a gauge which the plumber advise to get to 1 bar. Previously the open vented system was fed through a pump (refer to the diagram below): Still using the same pump, the only difference is that the old cylinder and expansion vessel...

It is a Baxi backboiler 552, old but reliable, it is being serviced every year, last serviced in September.

Thanks Ian, all the issues I described above were with heating only, i.e. with HW demand off. I could get all the radiators to heat up but very challenging, currently I had to shut off 2 radiators completely (TRV + lockshield) from the hallway to ensure the bedroom ones are working. PS: I am...

I recently had a vented indirect cylinder (fed by a tank in the loft) replaced by a unvented indirect one (fed by the mains). The plumber left me with a leaking pipe causing the pressure to drop, not a great start. As he never came back to fix the issue, I had to drain the system to replace the...

Thanks Andrew.

I need to determine the best location to install a combi boiler. Am I right saying that a vertical flue must be at least 30cm away from the boundary? I could not find the details from http://www.a1gassafe.co.uk/pdf/TECHNICAL_BULLETIN_231.pdf but...

Thanks sparkwright, I think the answer to the next question is No but would like to check; is this allowed for an electrical cable to exit a wall without using a flex outlet place, and to go straight into the cabinet unit where a socket would be attached to that cable?

Thanks winston, I am pretty sure to get a METOD Ikea kitchen, the instruction manual for the over unit does not give specific dimension (available from https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/assembly_instructions/metod-base-cabinet-for-built-in-oven-sink-white__AA-2235736-3_pub.pdf) and it looks like the...

I need to get my electrics prepared before a new kitchen is being installed. Regarding the integrated appliances, I was going to get some sockets installed on the wall just behind the oven and dishwasher. However I read it is more convenient to install the sockets inside one of the adjacent...

Thanks datarebal, an thoughts on Proctor Roofshield? It also seems highly rated.

Thanks guys, is the Klober Permo Forte definitely a breathable membrane? I am asking because I will only at 25mm gap between the insulation and the slates, hence I am required to use a breathable membrane.

I need to choose a new breathable membrane for my roof which is getting re-slated, any advice on efficient membranes? Permavent Max Membrane is on my list, what do you use?
