Hi all. we had an extension done above our double garage to make the new master bedroom. I am having issues where the floor in the master bedroom is creaking like mad on every step all around the room. the extension was designed with floor joists going horizontally across the width of the...

Thanks for the response. What sort of restriction do you mean? something like poss trapped air?

Hello all Need some assistance and hoping someone can help me with this daily nightmare. I had an kitchen/diner extension in the summer and the builder installed underfloor heating on a rack across 3 zones for this area. It kept causing the the old vaillant ecotec pro 18kw heat only boiler...

Hi all I am looking to replace my old battered halogen lamps and looking for good LED pir lamps for the garden and driveway. I was about to buy some from Amazon for £30 but thought I’d ask on here to see if anyone recommended any specific ones? Many thanks

Thanks What insulation is needed under this?

hi all Need some advice on our underfloor heating project. We are wanting to put underfloor heating in our kitchen/dining room. The new extended is ok as plenty of depth for insulation and screed. However, on the old part of building the floor depth is limited. My house is built on a big...

Hi all Was wondering if I can get some advice. I live in a 80s built house and My current doorbell has a old wire from the front to the chime itself which is battery powered. I do not believe this is electrically powered. I am considering upgrading to a Ring pro doorbell which requires power...

Hi All My parent are noticing a problem on their Vailant boiler mechanical timer. We keep correcting the clock, but everyday it seems to lose about 1-2 hours in time. Any idea what could be causing this? or is it most likely just a failed clock that needs replacement? Thanks

Lol spot on mate. So a few probs: 1) pump is too small for house 2) pump was filthy 3) other bits of cleaning around other local pipes 4) d0 reduced by 1 5) whole central heating system balanced 6) bypass valve was broken. No spring in it. But workin for the time being. May need to...

Just want to say many many thanks to Dan for all the assistance. And CBF for sorting. I now have 2 very reliable plumbers stored in my phone now

Ok so here's a update. CBF kindly popped over today and so far has fixed the problem. Even upgraded the pump to a 15-60. Working like a charm.. Will monitor closely when we move in and over winter. Oh, btw his van is exactly as per pics... Magical van :)

Ahhh yes I do have a thermostat downstairs. Could this be the prob? Or is it still a blockage issue? If so I will go for the full clean out as u recommended. Want this sorted for sure. Hopefully this will sort the other little issues. Son yeah, if you fancy taking a trip or know anyone...

Also I will test your d0 trick tomorrow. However I guess this is not a Lon term fix and will prob break the boiler in the long term.. What pump you recommend? Cause the radiators in the living room take ages to heat up. One of he radiators upstairs makes a banging sound as well. Is this all...

Hahah lol I'm based in Guildford, Surrey so anyone that knows the stuff and fixes the issue for the family then I'm happy. I've just had new carpets and flooring laid as well so hopefully they won't get ruined. Is this another power flush I need? And boiler clean? You sure you don't...

Boiler seems to be ok sounding. Nothing serious from it. What is the rough cost for a full clean? Could you do this as well? Do you mean get a bigger pump and not clean? Or clean And get a bigger pump? Thx

No problems at all. I can't thank you enough for your held and guidance. I've left the house now and switched everything off. Tomorrow I will turn the bypass to 0.4 and set d0 to 6 (reduction from 13). What should I expect here? When you said it needs a clean, do u mean boiler or whole...

D40 is now 51 D41 is now 36 Normal info is still on s53 Any concerns?

The brass cap under the red cap only goes in the following: 0.2 furthest out 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 fuly screwed in What should I set to?

Magnaclean says on for both valves. Boiler constant on s53 Pipes either side of pump is warm. Pump sounds like making funny water spluttering sound

Ok done that and also moved brass cap under red cap to what looks like 0.5 D40 is 43 and static D41 is 28 and static
