They make you service an open flued appliance, fault find on it, tightness test and fault find on a combi, plus a few electrical tests. They're decent blokes down there so even if you struggle they'll help you

Im at dartford at the moment doing 6 weeks training. Only another 2 to go. Cant really say what I think at the moment but it all sounds good. Every engineer Ive spoken to have said that its a good firm to work for Good luck

Thanks for the advice guys but ive ripped it all out and re-piped it Thanks again

No I havent thats why Im asking now before I fill it and hear joints exploding everywhere lol Its a bit difficult to get access to the drops, so my just leave it and see what happens. Hopefully it will be ok

from your experience, is it likely to be a problem?

The drop in the chimney is 28mm, and most of upstairs is the same (must be the old pipe from the gravity hot water) Havent powerflushed yet, doing that this weekend hopefully

Yeah I have all new trv and lockshields along with all new rads. Just gutted that I now have to take all the floor boards up again and pipe it all up. Also the old primaries from the old backboiler for the gravity hot water now appear to be used for the drop from upstairs to down stairs rad...

Im not registered but the other fella is I think. We have the expansion vessel fitted and connected yes. The cylinder is an Ariston Primo 210 Litre Unvented Indirect Cylinder Like I said, im prettu sure it has 2 pressure relief valves fitted, along with another on the heating side

seal hwc? Safety devices was 2 x pressure reliet on cylinder and 1 on heating Pressure in the property is 2.5 bar

Well all we did last week was hanf the boiler in the loft, and install the cylinder in the loft. We ran the flow and return from the boiler down into the airing cupboard and also the hot and cold from the cylinder (which is now pressurised). Have only today found out about the layout upstairs as...

Have just found out (after installing boiler and unvented cylinder) that my house has a 1 pipe system upstairs and a normal system downstairs. Is my only option to convert upstairs into a 2 pipe system? Thanks

To be honest thats the least of my problems at the moment, because if I have a new main installed, they will install a new stop cock too. I just hope having a bigger main installed will cure my problem, as I really dont want to waste any more money

One every other house but have tried both either side of me and neither closes mine off

in your opinion, from what ive said, do you think that this will cure the problem of the water running very slowly when there are 3 or more taps open?

Is there a way to work out what size main and internal pipe I would need to satisty my current demands for water? I.E 1 Bath (hot & cold), 2 sinks (hot & cold), 1 shower (hot & cold), 1 toiler & 1 outside tap if I go ahead with renewing the main, Id like to make sure I get the right one...

Also, would adding a pump to the main help (if this is allowed of course)?

Ok have today installed the ariston unventedd cylinder. With just one hot tap open, the pressure is fantastic. However, if I then flush the toilet and / or open another tap, the flow is reduced heavily. Is the solution to this to have a bigger supply installed (25 / 32mm)? Will the current...

Im about to install a new heating system and unvented cylinder in my property, but the pressure is only 2.5 bar and is on 15mm supply. Also, there is no stop cock outside my property so I cant even open that up to maybe give me more pressure If I have 2 taps open, the water trickels out, and...

Already have. Got a slightly higer quote but the fella seems to know what he's talking about, and isnt as rude!! He's charging me 120 a day, and reckons he'll have the house done in 2-3 weeks. Thats for painting (lounge, dining room, kitchen, hallway, landing and 3 bedrooms) painting mdf...

Thanks a lot Told this to the decorator and he said its a load of rubbish, and the only reason it would peel is because of poor prep work before plastering. He said he always paints straight onto plaster Have decided to get another quote :D
