Mr central heating in Hillington. Revive brand radiators. They have a size calculator on their site too

Thanks for the replies thus far As I suspected, it's never going to be as good as the real thing. I was quoted over a grand to get the rad valves changed, powerflushed and the HW changed to fully pumped. A concern I have about doing it diy style is the possibility of a blockage occurring...

Hello people At the moment I simply can't afford to pay for a power flush and to get twin port entry valves replaced with conventional ones (Scottish Gas wont flush systems with twin port entry valves which I have 7 of) Can prob find cheaper elsewhere but they lifetime guarantee their work...

Thanks for the reply PrenticeBoyofDerry For the sake of a tenner for a roll of 2.5mm I think I'll take a feed off the main socket circuit in the fuse box direct to the socket in question that way the socket and light are separate. We're talking max 1 meter cable run max. As far as the 5A...

Hello folks Before I start I would like to say I'm not a total idiot when it comes to electricity. I fully understand how important it is to ensure power is isolated and to not take chances etc. I would like to ask your opinion on what I have in my home and for any alterations you may...

Yes New rads, pipes and boiler would be nice. Dunno what I prefer - conventional or combi. Also being skint doesn't help hah! Perhaps converting to fully pumped would be better? What would the cost be for a plumber to convert the sys to fully pumped? Steve

Thanks guys Just had it serviced and was told working a treat. I understand now that the pump is just helping out with the tank now. To be fair I only reported the heating timer being the fault so the chap had no reason to test other stuff. Do you suspect being pipes from the 70's I'll...

On gravity HW is the water pumped through the tank coil when CH is on? Is that the norm? How can I silence the dreadful banging from the boiler when just asking for HW?

Hi Daniel We have a baxi back boiler. Crawling around on the living room floor I think I can hear the slightest hum under the floorboards near the pipes that run up the side of the chimney. I was sure the pump was in the upstairs bedroom but I can only find two fat pipes coming up from down...

Hi Guys I was just wondering how to tell what setup you have if you can't get access to pump, valves etc without pulling up carpet. If I put my hand on the pipe leading to the HW tank coil (when cold obv) I can feel the water being pumped through it if I have both CH & HW turned on yet if...

if the CH is on at the same time yes. If CH is off and Hw on then no pump action and just boiler

Hi twgas f&e tank at correct level ie water pushing against ball valve, not too low or high. also boiler got serviced at same time as new timer fitted and was told boiler looked great for a 17 year old Steve

Sadly no Cyl Thermostat Steve

I noticed in the manual there's a jumper setting for changing between gravity and pumped. Obviously there is a pump there and as I type this the boiler is turning on and off without a peep as the pump is running. IF this is a gravity system and the jumper is set to gravity and I change it to...

Hello everyone. Bit (quite a bit) worried that something bad is going to go wrong with my boiler. I've finally moved home to a house with a Baxi Inset 50/4 Bermuda back boiler and found that the timer on the controls wasn't working. I called out a local plumber and got a new digital...

Thanks guys meant to say, last year the BG Engineer made it 'AT RISK' because the living room doesn't have an air vent in the wall. Is this really required? As house has had back boilers from day one in the 70's and no one has ever said anything until now. Owner refused to get big hole put...

Hello everyone. Just new to the forum, long term lurker though. I was wondering if anyone on here could tell me if the inset 50/4 boiler is classed as one of those old school/lasts forever types? Will be moving into house which has one that was fitted approx. 15 years ago and would...
