Hi All Please help me calculate the materials I need to lay flagstones in my relations drive. The area to cover is 10mx3.5m. Ground is solid and about 50mm hardcore was layed in winter. Ground was slushy and dirt was getting everywhere at the time. I have been to three local builders for...

Many thanks "gas4you".

Thanks ChrisR

Trying to locate two parts for Vaillant ecomax 828E boiler. Visted a number of websites parts Pump and electric diverter valve. Part numbers and prices differ from one retailer to another. I am told part numbers are regularly changed by vaillant for a reason I assume is (money). Is there a...

As always Tony you are spot on again. My stainless unit although big enough but heat output isn't that good.

Hi gas4you, kevplumb,clf-gas for your response to my boiler pressure problem. Good on all of you. I can return to my routine weekly 2 second check. Cover down pressure OK. All good. Back to grind stone lifes ups and downs.

Hi "gas4you" The instruction label on the boiler says pressure to be at 1.5bar. Pressure kept going down over 4/5 days. I called the engineer he found a leak and fixed it. Since then I have been checking pressure daily and found when boiler is cold the pressure guage reads 1.5 bar when...

Hi All Vaillant ECOMAX 828E My boiler pressure varies when heating is on and when heating isn't on. Isn't the pressure supposed to be static at 1.5 bar at all times. Is this variation acceptble or is there some fault with the system. I would be grateful for advice to help me locate and...

Hi "gas4you" You are very good my man. You know your stuff. Seems you know vaillant inside out.

Hi "gas4you" Reporting that all is well again. The engineer got 2 wires mixed. The boiler is holding its pressure and works as it should do. Thanks for responding to my thread. Your response helped me to think positive.

Hi "gas4you" Like you say I have not noticed until this afternoon. The boiler was rewired last thursday. All of my family was pleased to have our boiler up and running after being without it for over 8 months. We were managing with electrics both hot water and heating. Some rooms were...

Hi "gas4you" Silly of me forgetting relevant details to help diagnose the problem. The timer is a single channel fitted some distance away from the boiler. I have noticed boiler firing from time to time as you say but this afternoon it was very strange for boiler to fire up delivering heat...

Hi All Last two days my boiler was slowly loosing pressure. Reading posts on this forum this morning I checked pressure in expansion vessel and any leaks around boiler. I found relief valve was weeping. I followed forum instructions. The boiler pressure is now holding but strange occurance...

Hi "ChrisR" www.plumbworld.co.uk are selling such a beastie. Also tapworld are selling. They are around but for some reason not popular. My concern is I don't wish to spend money on something thats not going to work.

Hi All How does a DHW pressure equalising valve works. I have 3 draw off points at the moment. Using individual points is ok but when all points are drawn then draw off point nearest to boiler is ok but the ones at distance they suffer. Would Fitting an pressure equalising valve solve...

Hi "Jezzy" Thank you and Tony for being helpful to me. The problem is guys the meter is sat on a heath Robinson bracket and its 6 feet off floor and its in my new extended dining room. It is a ugly arrangement. I had a good look at the meter again. I had at one point decided to move it to...

Hi Tony My mistake in quoting the colour of gas pipe. You are right its not blue but yellow. Bit steep for such a small job.

Hi "industryspark" You are neither rude nor I take offence but with building regs I am trying to make sure all is in order for safety.

Hi "Jezzy" You have raised a very good point. I should have mentioned where the meter is at the moment. The meter is inside my new extended room sat on a bracket fixed on the wall what was once a coal room I renamed it boiler room because my combi boiler was in there. Some ten years ago...

Hi All I need to have the gas meter moved to a new location. I rang BG. They gave a number to call. I thought I ask friends on the forum while I am waiting to get through. what is involved in moving the gas meter. A friend of mine had his moved three years ago. It cost him £600. Do I have...
