Not wanting to do the job myself or for any other person, just trying ti find out if British Gas are taking the michael out of my old uncle.

Hi Guys, Does anyone know who makes the British Gas 330 boiler, and are they any good???? Also is it against regulations to channel the condensate pipe into a rainwater drain?? Many thanks

Don't seem to be able to find the Imperial Radiator Co, do they have a web-site????????.

No, but I will now, MANY THANKS

Does any other company other than Myson manufacture radiators 1760mm in length?

I don't blame you for wanting to save cash, best to use the chemical method as the other guys suggest. I am just wondering if the problem radiators are not piped individually to the system manifold. Has the system ever been perfect??????? or is this just a problem of late???? What do the...

I had a new W/B system boiler installed last September and have had air in my towel radiator ever since although it now appears to be improving, plus the boiler installer fitted an automatic bleed valve on the system. It never happened with the old gravity fed boiler. The only thing I can...

I would ask your friend of a friend to remove the 2 rads and flush all the muck out with a water jet. While they are off circulate clean water around the system and exit it via coupling and hose fixed to one of the feeds into the waste until the water is running clear. Refit the rads, may need...

Many thanks guys, I do feel confident about this swap just wanted to know the trades view on this subject as I am a DIY-ER. Thanks again.

I need to replace a 1760mm width radiator with a 1600mm one, which means I will have to extend the tails by 80mm each side. Is this an acceptable practice and what is the best way to do it, any help would be appreciated. I notice that Screwfix sell tails which are 50mm in length. Is it...

Ask them to install waterless urinals.

Thanks Tony. Unfortunately I have lost the original documents of the installer and manufacturer, But I will pull my finger out and ring some installers, they will probably say it needs re-doing even if it doesn't. Having said that there are a few grants kickin about for this type of work from...

I had a magnaclean unit fitted when my new boiler was fitted, beforehand the plumber had power flushed the system for free which is normally expensive around £300. He is a Worcester Bosch recommended installer and insist on these measures for cover on their 5 year guarantee, which I haven't...

The plumber who installed my new boiler told me that my cavity wall insulation (Rockwool) breaks down to dust after 30 years. We've had ours now 25 years, is he winding me up? or is there a basis for his thoughts. I can't see he has anything to gain by these comments?

Pipe has about 5ft drop, then thru 90 degrees horizontal to grid.

Thanks guys for your advice and Ideas. Bill

Hi Again, Sorry to be a pain, I think I will go with aluminium, thanks to you. Found a place on the internet named Aluminium Warehouse, prices very reasonabl, will give them a ring on Monday see what their delivery charges are like, or as you suggest try Yellow Pages.

I like the idea of aluminium strips (many thanks), please can you tell me the type of store where I may buy these and a possible cost? Pipes are in situ 8mm which I am going to lengthen using couplings, don't see a problem if I use the aluminium, grateful if you could suggest the minimum...

Can't locate the studded areas at the moment, wife is having a sleep but may place narrow battens on outside of plaster-board, fixed to the timber supports. Is this ideal?

To save pulling the wall to bits to insert noggins, are there any floor supports to assist the wall brackets?
