If you want to fill your heating system from the inside all you need is a filling loop, T into cold mains, T in heating return, then fit the filling kit between them. Also add a pressure guage so you can see what your doing.

Id check that its covered for damage getting to fix the leak on your insurance policy. Some of my customer say its not.

"a properly fitted multikwik into lead will NEVER leak" Did i not say when/if? So the "if" is relevant if its not fitted properly?

I would replace the TRV then you know its closed properly then add a blanking off cap. Then when the room gets to temp the TRV will close as its ment to then shut off the heat to the room.

I would replace the pipe through the wall, might save on taking the toilet out when/if it starts leaking. I know its more money but i would feel better if it was my house knowing its done.

If the ball valve is filling the tank and the level is not getting higher, the rate the water is flowing into the tank is there abouts the rate that its leaking out somewhere. Powerflushes can cause leaks but it could of just failed too, hard to tell till you expose the pipe and have a look...

My 2p's worth. I would go with stored hot water maybe unvented system, with each floor having its own two port valve with programable room stat to control each floor. Simple.

I take it you mean "non volatile lockout"? 1) I would start by bleading all air points through the system as heat spikes with cause this fault. 2) Then the PCB's are very known to be poor (think the got onto version 8 at one point) but replace the thermistor at the same time. 3) Also...

The front has to be taken off to access the reset button. Possible it has overheated if it has been used with no water in it.

What lockout light are you gettin on the boiler? The micron will tell you why it has locked out by the lights that flash in what order, refer then to the MI's to find why its locking out. PCB's are poo on the micron as are the thermistors. First thing check the lockout light for its reason!

Some PCB's require the burner pressure setting up which would require a gas safe engineer.

As above. Does the boiler have a pre heat?

I would be knocking on the door and asking to see what they are playing at. They should be supporting whatever is left in place.

No offence taken as i know nothing at all about any of this process. The extension in building is about 30 sq meters (18 downstairs 12 upstairs). I have full plans detialing all parts of the extension, i will also be getting the calculations from the structural engineer for the RSJ's etc...

Many many thanks for the advice. Ill check with my agent (the guy who did the drawings) as part of his cost was to deal with all the paperwork but i wanted to check what the process was so i know whats going on. So he could apply for building control soon after submitting the application and...

I have submitted my plans into the council for approval, they will be approved soon but what happens next? So i take it will get a call that the plans have been passed, then what? can i just start work or does anyone else want paying, ringing etc? I have no idea of the whole planning process...

Thanks for the help. So fitting the catnic would be done from the outside? Or inside? Any need to prop up anything? I read about fitting the catnic then leave it a few days before cutting out the section for the window? What ill do is take out the bathroom window thats fitted then...

I agree most people seem to want a window and have said would be put off by the house not having one. I have a tv in bathroom and the window has a black out blind what we never open, it was a moment of madness i do know i need a window so no pi$$ taking required. Its more advice on the...

Hello all, I will be starting an extension in the new year and im looking at jobs i can do myself to keep costs down. I fitted all my windows myself which was easy as the opening were there but because of the extension i will have to move my bathroom window on to another wall which will...

So just find the pipe that supplys the upstairs rads and fit a manual isolation valve.
