The fire is one of a kind! Haven't seen it for about a year so can't remember make and model but i've never seen anything like it elsewhere. I'd say it was mid Eighties to be honest. NCS then. Interesting.

That is what I was thinking to be honest. I realise it's not ideal, but a new floor standing fire (something like a Brava ASD) with a CO detector is what i'm going to recommend I think. Other than that, they could go electric I guess but that would be their choice.

I have a customer who's had a bit of an accident and now requires his Lounge to become his permanent bedroom. Inside this room is a 20 year old gas fire that is in good condition that they still want to use. Obviously, i'm not keen on this at all and would like to know exactly what the regs...

I'm fairly sure it won't take an hour to drain, the relief valve is fitted an inch or two above the immersion and the drain-off is already plumbed in to the waste pipework. It will take no more than 10 mins. I'd be more than happy if it's just the stat and I will try this first but i'm fairly...

Thanks for your reply, we'll have to discuss having to turn the hot off with the manager and see what he says. It won't surprise anyone to hear how tight they are with cash! I'm worried about the tool though, draining it is simple but am now worried I won't be able to get it out or fit the...

I do indeed have my certificate for Unvented cylinders and was delighted to learn it will run it in July 08 after being told it would last forever when I qualified 4 or 5 years ago. It's surprising how few unvented systems there are (in my area at least), i've only been called on to look at 5 or...

What about fitting a gas wall heater like a Baxi Brazilia? Obviously you'll need to have a gas supply nearby, a brick outside wall and take into account the flue position but I think it's a decent alternative in the right circumstances.

I knew someone would say that! You're dead right of course but I think it's the easiest and best way of doing it while complying with the benchmark.

Yes it is. When installing a new boiler you must fit a roomstat if one is not already fitted.

The fault has been identified by an electrician who has stated it's the element. The immersion is constantly tripping the manual reset. I am going on the advice of the electrician who's tested it more thoroughly than I was able to and McDonalds would like the immersion replaced so that's what...

Hi all, first post so go easy! I do alot of work in the local Mcdonalds stores, repairing leaks, replacing taps, unblocking wastes etc. One of the newer stores has a Megaflow fitted that has an immersion with a faulty element (as identified by an electrician). I'm going to replace the whole...
