Yes £850 labour, ive had to supply everything. Ive had a fernox tf1 fitted to a boiler in another house for 3-4 years and no leaks. You can buy the o rings service kit for £2 from plumb center.

Yeh he was cheap. Charged me £850 to fit boiler to do all the central heating pipework from scratch, hang 7 rads and new gas supply. I suppose you get what you pay for.

Yes i may do that. Hes come back and hes put the tf1 the right way round after telling him how to do it and has moved the wireless box to the other wall under the boiler still not ideal but its away from the sink. Thanks for your advice.

Yes on the 1 of the glass there is a sticker "k glass face inwards" but on the other glass there isnt the same sticker there is sticker to say the customers name and adress but doesnt say which way to face the glass. Also do u have to use bridging packers at the bottom or can i use ordinary...

i am going to install a upvc window in my living room and i just wanted to know do you need to toe and heel a top hung window opener or is toe and heel only for side openers? Also when i fit the glass does it matter which way the glass goes in or is there a inside and outside way and if there...

Too right he's lazy. He was supposed to come round today to correct it but he called instead to say if he turns the filter arrow around it will take more space, i don't see how as all he has to do is spin the manifold around. I think hes trying to talk me out doing it. Also hes got loads...

From what ive read on the internet there isnt coloured o rings for this tf1 anymore i think its done on the circlips now. I think your thinking of the older version of the tf1.

Also can it be rotated 180 degrees so arrow points down or will it only go as far as the horizontal position so 90 degrees only?

Yeh i thought so. So its a matter of taking filter off and unclipping the metal part pull it away from main body and rotate 180 degrees push back into the main body and push clip back in and reconnect it the filter? I will make him do it before i pay him for the whole job.

Ive had the gas engineer back to the job and hes telling me hes turned something around inside and that it doesn't matter if the arrow is the wrong way. Is he talking a load of bs? Also is the wireless thermostat receiver ok near the sink (see pic) where there's a risk of water splashing...

Yes i though so. What would happen if its wasn't turned round? Wouldnt the tf1 catch any of the dirt? Also i will get him to change the position of the wirless thermostat receiver as its too close to where the sink is going to be and may get water on it.

Just had new boiler fitting and just had a question regarding tf1 filter. The filter is fitted on the return pipe, the pipe is coming down from the ceiling then up into the boiler. The gas engineer has fitting the arrow on the tf1 filter pointing up towards the ceiling and i thought the arrow...

Ok i will give that a go later today. The other day I did close all the working radiators but 1 as it had a radiator cover over it so couldn't get to the trv without taking the screws out of the wall but i had all the cold radiators trv' s opened so will try shutting all of them and leave one...

Hi yes the pipeon 1 radiator is a bit warm up to the trv but its not warming the radiator and on other radiators the pipes are stone cold but if you bleed the radiator water is coming out of the top of it. Is this a airlock or something else. Someone told me to connect a hose pipe to one of the...

Hi its 3 rads upstairs that are cold and all of the trv pin are fully out.

Looking for some advice. My brothers has 3 radiators upstairs that aren't heating up but downstairs rads are all hot. He had a plumber come fix a trv leak on one of the downstairs radiator so not sure if hes done something. Its the old type of central heating where there is a hot water...

thanks for that. I haven't told woody he's wrong. Im after advice and you guys will have a lot my experience than i have im just looking for the quickest way to repair it. The window isn't properly fitted in yet so can be easily removed. So shall i remove the window support the good side of...

Just had a quick question regarding lintel. I was wonder if i can use a steel or galvanised flat bar lintel to support the bricks above the window rather than and concrete lintel or is that a no no?

I will try tapping them back up first and wedge some slates in n see if that does the trick if that fails I'd have to go down the lintel route instead. I'd be able to point the front and underside of the arch but how do you do that back? On some of the joints the mortar looks fine and not...
