You are probably right. After all I have had a brand new boiler out of it which is unusual when buying a house! I wondered if anyone would be able to recommend a wireless room thermostat with an idiots guide of how to fit this to the boiler. I am guessing it is not that complicated and one...

Thanks for the response. I've checked the back of the manual and it is all filled in. The room thermostat section is just left blank as is the weather compensation section. There is definitely no weather compensation fitted as there is no sensor on the outside wall. I've messaged the...

Hi My wife and I have just moved into a new 3 bed semi detached house. Prior to completion the vendors had a new boiler installed as the old one was kaput. The boiler installed was an Ideal Logic Combi 24+. The issue is that no room thermostat has been fitted which I believe is a...

Hey all I had my bathroom completely renovated about 6 years ago and went to a company who did the design and installation. Part of this was a shower screen over a large double bath. Since installation we have experienced issues with the screen which has being replaced on 3 occasions due...

I just assumed (incorrectly I think) that double would be better. The reason for changing them is they are very old and starting to look a bit tatty. They have also been a magnet for sludge in the past and not heated up properly. Looks like single radiator with fins would be fine! Having...

I've had a revised quote of £180 to fit 2 TRV valves and replace 3 radiators if I supply the valves and radiators. I will check the sizes tonight and see if I can get a like for like replacement. If I am going from single panel to double panel would this be a problem?

Hi all, I have received a quote from a plumber of £100 to supply and fit 2 TRV valves or £80 to fit them if I supply them. Is this a good price? I am thinking of replacing the radiators downstairs as well as they are only single panel and quite old. I am presuming that if a drain down is...

Hey all, I have a sealed heating system and looking to install a TRV valve to 2 bedroom radiators as in the winter the rooms get too hot. I would also like to replace some radiators at the same time. The sealed system was recently installed due to huge issues experienced previously with...

Hey all :D I have a bath screen with the hinge attached to the bath itself and then the screen moves in and out. However the hinge has started to move and I need to get hold of some ultra strong waterproof adhesive so that I can re-attach the hinge correctly before the whole screen comes...

It is a mid-position valve. There is a lever on the side of the actuator that seems stuck solid in a certain position at the top. Unfortunately the HW CH indicator has been taken off so I am not sure which section this is! *Edit* having looked at similar models it would appear it is stuck on 'B'...

Thanks for that. I have taken off the actuator and there is a spindle on the valve, do I just need t try and see if it will turn to establish if it is sticking or not?

Hello all, I have a problem where when hot water and heating is called for the heating doesn't work, however when heating is called for on it's own there is no problem. I checked the actuator and it was hot even though heating and hot water were off.... is this normal?

ah, is it easy to take the actuator off so I can have a look at the indicator switch to make sure it moves ok?

I have had a look at the actuator and it must be an old one as I can't see the switch which indicates CH HW or both? It is a Drayton MA1 but is upside down in the airing cupboard. There is a button on both sides and then a switch of some sort on the bottom but no marks to indicate HW/CH/both...

Thanks for the reply. I am in 2 minds to be honest with you. I have had so many problems with the system and I am glad it is now sorted (apart from downstairs radiators cooling when heating and hot water is on). However I am angry that I have given the initial installer so much money to...

Hi all, After my system has now been sealed there is a puzzling problem with my heating and hot water. When the heating is on all radiators now get hot, however when heating and hot water is called for at the same time the downstairs radiators cool whilst the upstairs ones remain hot...

Hey all, I have posted on here before about my heating problems, mainly in this thread below: http://www.diynot.com/forums/plumbing/power-flush.292408/ The plumber turned up today to change my system to a sealed system due to the problems with cool radiators and the boiler cutting out...

Just an update - the plumber turned up today and after a look around and a test of the system decided that a sealed system would solve the problem. Apparently the system is full of air and as the pipes and radiators are really old is just causing corrosion. The boiler kept cutting out due to...

I checked last night and it's definetly not pumping over so I can eliminate that from my enquiries!! I think the boiler problem is down to a blockage somewhere... maybe even in the condensation pipe or in the flue... either way I am hoping the plumber tomorrow will be able to solve the...

Sounds reasonable, would that be with a qualified plumber doing the work as that would be well beyond me!
