I've gone into the installer mode but can't see the Room Control Mod you mention. Is it under another name?

To be honest the builder was pretty dire and he made us pay each trade he hired directly. The initial installers of the boiler seemed good and knowledgeable but then the builder stopped them coming back in favour of his son (newly qualified and very inexperienced). The son has made so, so many...

5 is the latest upgrade on 1-4 :D Thinking 1-4 might have improved installation though :mad:

Really hoping it isn't reverse circulation as all new boiler pipework was done by removing our kitchen ceiling which has since been replaced and skimmed. I do remember the installers coming out and mentioning something that I'm sure was reverse circulation and they changed pipework and moved...

Yes there is a thermostat and yes it appears to work as we have adjusted it due to tap water being too hot. I need to try to check it switches the boiler off though but didn't catch the boiler this morning before it heated the water. The SensoHome is the wired in one VRT380.

First experiment for you- when the controller is set to hot water only (heating off) move that lever upwards- you should feel some spring resistance, when you let the lever go it should spring back. YES SOME RESISTANCE AND DOES SPRING BACK BUT VERY SLOWLY AND NOT RIGHT BACK TO BOTTOM Second...

Hello. Sorry the first photo was not fully up to date so second boiler photo is taken today as the others were. Yes it replaced a previous combi boiler but was moved to corner of room, although same wall as previous boiler. We were told we had to have system boiler for loft conversion. Builder...

We had a new boiler fitted last July through our builder. Guys who did initial install were great and nice tidy work. They put in a Vaillant system boiler, Instinct cylinder and the Vaillant sensoHome control. We had issues straight away with the radiators coming on when it was hot weather and...

Thank you both! We can't get to the other side (as it's in loft conversion ceiling void) so will use the stick seal that you both mentioned.

Our loft conversion has been fully decorated and we are due to have fitted furniture put in. We discovered that where the wardrobes are going the spotlights would be partially covered. Builder sent electrician to move them which he did. He used a device to make the new holes and then left us...

Thank you for all the replies. The floor has not been glued and the builders made various mistakes that meant sections of the boards had to be cut and taken up. They were all nailed/screwed down. I suspect nails as the builders LOVE nail guns and at the end we were sweeping so many nails up it...

The builders have finished our loft and we have since painted and are just getting quotes for fitted furniture. Near the end of the build we noticed the tongue and groove chipboard/ply floor made a huge bang near our front dormer window. It was like a gun being fired and only happened when you...

Just to update the builder got his son to redo the water main so it's now all in 22 up to the stop cock. He struggles to solder and we had small leaks at the joins several times but after he redid it a few times those have stopped. Pipes still get very wet but not all the time so looks like it's...

Thank you. They have used the original service void from when our house was built (1960s). I did ask why he hadn't brought the blue one inside and connected but he said it wouldn't support the stop cock and needed to be a metal pipe? He also again said it wouldn't fit inside void. Can these...

@BlueLoo just removed the cling film and there is a line of wet on one side of the kitchen towel against the plastic elbow. Does this indicate the micro leak you mentioned? While that inlet pipe was sealed with clingfilm the other pipes still got very wet too after all previously being dried off.

I am also concerned the water main is not buried deep enough. They called someone they called mole man out to make the trench for the new blue plastic main. According to google the main should be about 2 ft down but I'm sure it wasn't anywhere like as deep as that. Not sure if this also impacts...
