My boss priced the job at £120, that was a thermocouple as well, he usually changes them at the same time as he services the BB.

Is there a ball park figure for servicing a Baxi 552 including land lord cert. We priced one the other day and were told we were way to dear !!

Quick question, We fitted a external 10l expansion today to system boiler (the one at the back of the boiler leaked when the air valve on top was pushed) The new expansion vessel was preset to 1.5bar I think, the guy I work with said this was too much and reduced to 0.7 I believe, If this...

So with the vent dimensions being correct but the vent in the hall terminating in the loft (not to the outside) it is AR right enough. Cheers

Quick question regarding an Ideal Mexico super 2 boiler, The boiler is in a compartment at the top of the landing, the cupboard door has a vent top and bottom (Bottom vent is large) this vents into the landing, now having read the old Corgi book it says there should be another vent in the...

I've got a problem with a kitchen sink, when the washing machine empties it fills up the sink bowl, the sink is not choked as when the sink is filled and emptied it runs away perfectly. The trap is one of the McAlpine W/M WM11 traps. I fitted the kitchen sink with plumber I work with but...

We attended an old farm house today to price an en suite conversion and have a look at what was involved. Anyway the customer said the hot water flow was poor but he overcome this by installing a C/H pump on the hot supply to a bathroom in a different part of the house. We went to see...

I'm involved in a barn conversion and have a query regarding the hot water set up. Below is how the water is supplied to the building. The water is fed from a break tank up in the hills, it comes down into a 250 gallon approx cold water tank that sited in the loft space. Now the...

If a flue passes through say a kitchen to get to the outside wall but the boiler is in a cupboard in the hall, where should the CO detector be, bearing in mind the flue in the kitchen in boxed in

I'm not doing this myself, This was a rough breakdown I was given from an installer. I'm giving the installer further works if the job go's ahead without any cock ups. I know there are a lot of variables but wondered if the costing sounded correct. All pipework except the main and...

Just quickie regarding costs, Looking to convert from open vent to unvented hot water, Fit new cylinder in existing position, alter flow & return to suit new cylinder connections reconnect to hot supply run new 22mm cold from loft to cylinder pipe in blow off disconnect cold...

Yeah makes sense. Is it a must for a North facing wall ?

Well guys the boilers been up and running for a few weeks now and so far so good, I personally can't fault it and my installer reckoned it was a breeze to fit apart from some plastic washer that he binned. I've gone with the Climapro 2RF for controls but I'm going to add weather comp. Has...

Can we cut through the side of the boiler case on the tank module, this would allow us to alter the condensate outlet so it terminates higher.

The condensate pipe for this is fed through the bottom of the jig but leaves the condensate at a very low level. I need to have the condensate run into a pump but the connection from the boiler is way to low and would then run up hill to the pump which won't work. Anyone got any...

How do you go about turning off the unvented side and use it as a normal combi ?

Sounds ominous, What limitations are we talking about ?

Excellent thanks for that, We've decided to go for this boiler. I assume with this being a combi set up there will be no hot water return ?

I'm thinking of getting the installer to fit the above boiler in my new build instead of the ACV I was initially opting for. Has anyone got any knowledge of these, I've been told there is a 10 day lead in time for this boiler. My house has 2 shower rooms and a main bathroom, I'm thinking...

Magic guys thanks for the input, Well if all is well apart from the flue temp being high we might well leave it alone. Would I be right in saying, the more air it gets the leaner it will run meaning the flue temp would be higher ? Just relating this back to petrol engine tuning ?
