Thanks Opps, invaluable information re Dulux Trade Weathershield AND the BrushMate box reviews are awesome for time-saving. Which Rain Gauge app do you use ??

Thanks Nige .... a friend has also suggested Dulux Weathershield .... how would you rank that against Zinsser ?? (House is on estate: 2000 build, so I don't think there's danger of lead in sanding. But it's a useful point to know for the future & maybe for others reading this thread.)

Forgot to add: scaffolding needs to 'bridge' corrugated plastic roof at ground level, which will, of course, be more expensive than straight scaffolding. Tx, Zena

Good morning all, wonder if I can trouble you for advice re: damage to town-house roof (rain water ?) (see photo). (1) Is it possible to identify cause ? (to eradicate future problems); (2) Do I need to get it repaired immediately or can it wait till next year (better weather)? ... this is...

Wwyd : Sadolin or Zinsser All Coat .... for barge boards (roof) and exterior south-facing windows, London area. Hoping for lots of views from experts ! Tx, Zena

Thanks Ian. That's great information to have. (Unless I hear to the contrary, I'll take it you meant "clean filter AFTER 5 days or so" ??). Very, very appreciative of you going to so much trouble to inform me on top of what is prob. a busy day for you. Tx so much, Zena

sorry, your last few messages have only just come in to my system, i.e. pre- my last post. Expansion vessel is red. .... and now I've started wondering if I jumped to the wrong conclusion in my last post, though (as a non-scientist/non-engineer), I'm inclined to go with Ian's question: "why...

Thanks, JohnD & Ianmcd, for info. I don't have a feeder tank in the loft, (to CH boiler), so conclude that my system is sealed system, linked to MegaFlow & fed from expansion tank above MegaFlow. I will know more about how much corrosion I have when I tackle cleaning the MagnaClean - which...

Hi JohnD: (1) After your post earlier, I had a look at a couple of YouTube videos on cleaning out the MagnaClean & think I can prob. manage it myself - but I need to check the clearances as it is fitted close to ceiling... And will re-watch videos several times before I try. (2) Not sure if...

Hi JohnD: After your post earlier, I had a look at a couple of YouTube videos on cleaning out the MagnaClean & think I can probably do it myself - I just need to check the clearances as it is fitted close to ceiling. And will re-watch videos several times before I try. Not sure if the boiler...

Right .... sorry for delay in replying to authentic questions you've asked ... I think I was about to be 'had'. Have just been round & bled rads (after putting CH on). Result: all rads hot & all produced clear liquid, only 3 on top floor needed bleeding, & they also produced clear liquid...

Muggles, tx. for taking an interest .... Black liquid comes out when I bled rads some time last year. Rads are otherwise working OK. Maybe I should put system on and try bleeding rads for myself to check first. Additional drip-feed (Sorry, didn't think of it earlier) Plumber also said that...

Sorry for drip-feed ... I got the impression from the plumber, that it is my pump that circulates the chemicals & flushes the system ??? best wishes, Zena

Newboy, tx for photo ... which I realise you put in on purpose, to show what is needed. What is in the large white container ? tx, Zena

Thank you Newboy, for your reply. I haven't got a written quote : it was a verbal discussion. and it was only when I came on this site to check what is involved in powerflush, that I realised I should have got everything specified precisely. There's nothing wrong with my CH, but the pipes are...

Morning all ! New plumber (recommended on NextDoor) came round to quote for another job, & offered to powerflush CH system as separate task : System is over 10yo. As I understand it from reading past posts, he should: 1) Leave chemical (Sentinel x400 ?) in system for 4 days beforehand. 2)...

Got visitors coming, so havent got time to dismantle the upstairs cartridge, faff about & replace it ! Will try after visitors have gone. But will have a look at the temperature control knob, just in case I've put it in wrongly. Thanks for the ideas - grateful that you took time to reply -...

Ongoing problem: I replaced 2 Bristan Pisa cartridges. One at top of house was fully successful & works properly. On ground floor, shower produces tepid through to hot water. As I (sparingly) water the garden from here (attaching garden hose). this is a big cost issue. To (just about) keep...
