Great, thanks for all the info. Interestingly, I found this "Nuaire Drimaster 365" which does in fact take air in from the outside, but only when the loft is too hot. The only downside I can see to this model though is it doesn't contain a heating element. Will have a look in the loft on a...

Ok, thanks for checking. Yes, you're right about the PIV drawing in the outside air therefore keeping the loft cooler in general. I might give it a go then. Do you have one with a heating element as well? As I understand it, the duct will go down and exit through the ceiling of the landing. Is...

Air quality as in co2 and pm2.5/pm10 particulates which generally measure better outside than inside. My only reservations with the PIV would be the inability to use it for most of the Summer. If this house is anything like my last, the loft was sweltering hot. I could indeed open windows for...

Hi thanks for your response. I appreciate the air from the PIV is filtered but if it’s not in use during hot summers then the air coming in through the open windows will also not be filtered (as would the air coming through trickle vents). Is there a particular need for the incoming air to be...

Spoke to some neighbours who have the same thing. They tell me one is for the upstairs rads, one for the downstairs rads, and one for the hot water system (presumably the red one) Why would I need to drain the hot water system? It’s a combi boiler with no tank - what would there be to drain?

the bottoms of the three drains pictured are probably in line with the lowest radiator in the house. The drains on the boiler are higher than half of the radiators

Hello, moved into a house that the previous owners lived in since new in 2006. I’d like to clean chemically clean, drain, and refill the heating loop. However, am unable to locate any drain cock on any radiators. I have though located three pipes with cocks on in the garage (which is actually...

Hi, we've been having a creepy crawly problem recently and I can't think where else they're getting in other than from behind the toilet / under the vanity unit. Any ideas what I could use to fill these gaps? It's a bit of an awkward space to get to unfortunately Thanks in advance
