Could I ask how old your system is? Mine is contemporaneous with my house which is 35 years old, though the boiler has been replaced twice over that time. The latest is an Ideal high efficiency Logik Max Heat2 H24

Thanks I will wait three weeks for the 'air' to build up before trying again

Thanks. I might try that. I guess it is safe enough as the only H2 that would burn is the stuff that just been bled from the radiator?

Thanks. I can't see anything but I will secure a paper towel around it and see if I can detect any dampness after a couple of days. Logically the air must be getting in somewhere and a leak somewhere seems a likely way for tha to happen

Thanks for your reply. No I don't use it to hang a towel. There is a towel rail but I don't use it. All the towels hang in the master bathroom

Thanks for your reply. No I haven't noticed any water pressure drops. Every other radiator is very hot to the touch after the system has been on for an hour or so. I do';t think any anti-corrosion treatment was applied to the system at the time of the boiler installation

Hi, I live in a 4-bedroom detached house with 13 hot water radiators driven by an Ideal condensing boiler installed a couple of years ago. Every radiator comes on uniformly hot when in operation except the radiator in my en-suite bathroom. This radiator is hot at the bottom and much cooler...

Thanks so much for your excellent detailed advice. It is much appreciated. With luck I might be able to get the old paint off without ruining the smooth surface of the plaster. If not I will use filler. The windows and all others are being replaced in early January so I'll leave most of the...

Thanks for the reply. I do use the extractor most of the time but I am a very active cook so I also open the window to dispel steam in cold weather. The affected patch is pretty close the the pane I open! Do you think I should just sand down and repaint with anti-condensation paint and see...

Thank you very much for your reply The affected patch is quite close to cooker and hob and I am a very active cook. It is also on a line from the hob to the window I open to dispel steam in the kitchen. In the absence of any other evidence, do you think I should just sand down and repaint...

Hi, I painted my kitchen with emulsion paint about 15 years ago. In the last few months paint has started flaking from one localised area over the window. The paint elsewhere is fine except behind the large hot radiator where it has flaked at little. The plaster seems to be in excellent...

I have just posted a very similar question. Acrylic sheet seems like a good solution to my problem. How would one fix it to wood. With a specialist glue?

I shall be having all the windows in my house replaced with UPVC windows in January but I am not replacing the external doors. So as to not let the side down after my new windows are installed, I am seeking to draught proof the old doors as well as I can without spending a lot of money I have...

OK thanks. However the Eurocell brochure I was emailed (reference: EU00403 Is1/Oct20) definitely says they "make" windows and the Logik Casement is the one I would be getting. Perhaps that is "make" as in assemble from components made by subcontractors to their specification. But I take your...

Thank you The brochures were set to me by the installers and are generic manufacturers brochures describing the product range. On the quote the installers have said which models they would use in my house. So far I have not seen any statement about guarantees from the installer. Before I pay...

Hi, I am planning to replace 12 35-year-old wooden windows in my house with UPVC. I am deciding between two suppliers, one that would use the Eurocell Logik 70mm casement and the other that would use Liniar windows. I have no previous experience of UVPC windows but my research tells me that...

Hi, I have a nine year old 330+ that up until now functioned perfectly. But over the last two weeks I have noticed a weird issue that the system appears to be choosing random non programmed times to heat the hot water. Not every day, just some days. I use a Tempus Seven Control panel which...
