I will soon be replacing some radiators and then plan to run a cleaner like X400 through the system I’ve just checked, and it looks like my Builder chose to use some plastic pipe for the long run to the radiators in our extension rather than copper (in the ceiling, not down to the actual...

@RandomGrinch - thanks for your post although you lost me fairly early on there my friend :D

thanks @Madrab so when you mention a normal convecting radiator, you mean a type 11, 21 or 22 type of thing ?

thanks for all the replies so can i ask a different question regarding BTU As mentioned, i've measured up my lounge which is an odd shape into rectangles and calculated an overall BTU whereby the overall sqm2 is 98.325 thus i've calculated it at 13809 BTU i've included the patio doors, # of...

@RandomGrinch thanks for your input. So I’m looking at the Milano Windsor traditional style radiator not the Aruba but my question is more around how bestheating can offer a 20 year guarantee It seems to be double what most other radiators offer

thanks for the reply @Madrab I've currently got 2 x Ximax duplex P1's and have had them for a number of years (~10 years), but we are looking for a design change hence we a thinking of going more traditional. Also, the heat output has never been great and they are positioned in the wrong place...

@muggles @Tetrarch - thanks both for your replies Can i assume that you both mean Aruba's and not the Aruba Ayre's ? Interesting to hear the paint issue after a couple of years which is disappointing Seems the finish used by Bestheating is white powder coated finish

Hi all, I'm looking to install some new radiators and i've been drawn to the traditional 3 column Milano Windsors being offered by Bestheating.com I'm particularly curious about their ability to offer a 20 year guarantee whereas it appears that the industry norm is typically 5 years but...

Thanks @Johntheo5

@Johntheo5 …… 2M ??

Thanks for sharing @Mister Banks So seems like it will run but damage is being done until eventual failure….agree ?

Thanks @CBW So a future project I’m planning to do is add a few more radiators but I was apprehensive about not completing it in a single day and thus we had no hot water either So do you think I can effectively knock out the heating then but my taps will work fine ? Hopefully when I get...

I’ve returned from holiday today and my central heating system (Worcester Greenstar 37cdi) has a leak on my Fernox TF1 joints I’ve got some rubber washers so will replace tomorrow But my question is, the pressure needle as shown on the attached photo was virtually nil BUT the central heating...

Sorry for the *bump*, but would any kind souls out there be able to advise on the enclosed queries that i have please ? Thanks in advance (y)

Hi all, I wonder if i could have some guidance on the following please I had the walls in one of our bedrooms skimmed back in August so obviously, its completely dry now and ready for painting Just running my hand over the walls, its 99% smooth to the touch but not what i would call...

Thanks for all the advice @opps

sorry @opps ....are you saying there is no need to PVA at all then ? I was just assuming that it would best to apply a diluted PVA mix to at least the cut plasterboard edges, and perhaps the plasterboard fill-in disc to which the Tx110 will adhere to I've got some PVA so its no issue to spend a...

Thanks again @opps Final question….the plasterboard circles that will fill the majority of each hole…should I PVA it and either let it dry or keep tacky, before using the tx110 ?

Thanks again @opps The tx110 gets bucket loads of good reviews and no, no one will be getting near it as as I say I’m filling downlighter holes in the ceiling and a flue hole that’s about 7ft in the air So you don’t think a 150mm diameter hole presents any issues if I keep the depth sensible...

@opps - thanks for the reply if its incredibly soft, is it suitable for ceilings still or would it just drop off, or can you mix to your own consistency ? :unsure:
