Hi bright sparks I am fitting 5w wylax in my new extension. What size mcb's do I need for my ring main circuit and lighting circuit.

Hi "ChrisR" Old pals are coming back to help. Its a great feeling believe me. I was very careful in storing my boiler but like you rightly point out spiders could be taking winter break inside my boiler whilst I have been freezing. I have kept all the bits together in a tesco bag. I hope the...

Hi "Agile" Tony. Boy am I glad you have responded so quick. I was hoping you would. My combi is a vaillant 828E condensing. I am having the boiler re-commissioned but not sure whether this guy will sort faults if any. There shouldn't be any faults I hope. Prior to removimg the boiler it...

Hi "noseall" Good to see you responding so quickly. Yes I have two parrallel beams for my upstairs wall (start construction as soon as good weather allows). Underneath the beams I have extended dining room. Dining room is almost ready for wall finishing but two beams in ceiling with cavity...

Hi All Back again my extension is progressing slowly but surely. I have come across a problem. How do I close beam cavity. Input will be greately appreciated.

Hi simond Why buy the part(s) I already have. I only need the flue. The retailers I have approached tried to sell me the full kit price £70-80. If the flue is £35 that is okay with me and happy to pay that much but where can I buy it from in west yorkshire.

Hi ChrisR The flue kit in question does come in bits. I was with the engineer when he assembled it and I was there three years later when he dis-assembled it when he removed the boiler. I am not trying to fit it myself. The engineer is but I am buying the part for him.

Hi "ChrisR" I understand your concern. The fitter shortened flue when he fitted. Now the flue is short. I am not taking any chances with it that is why I am looking for the correct flue for my boiler.

Hi "Simond" My boiler is Vaillant ecomax 828E condensing and is three years old. The vaillant kit number is 303 930 and is horizontal. It's top turret mounted. Three retailers said the same thing it comes as a kit. Kit makes them more money then just the flue.

Sorry got carried away its a vaillant 828E
