Okay, that was a for instance. Not for real.

Presumably its got something to do with time of year and how often the heatings on but what should I expect until the jobs sorted? 1 week 1 month 1 year?

Yeah your right but its not for me, but a tight mate... All i'm asking is how often the tank should fill up. If it filled every day would that mean there was a leak or that normal? For instance...

Evaporation in the summer?

Dont try and steal my post with your own questions... start your own thread. (twice as long as it is from one end to the middle...) Anyone more helpful?

A friends feed and expansion tank needs replacing the sides are soo week the ball cock bend it when full meaning over filling and possible overflow. If it is isolated on the feed to said ball cock how long do people think the tank will last? i.e. how often does a F+E tank require filling...

Further to this and to steal a thread thats not been replied to for a few days... I'm currently trying to choose a carpet for bedroom landing and stairs. I was going to skirting board before carpeting but this sounds better carpetting before hand. Presumably this gives a 'less accurate cut'...

Like copper tails on a monoblock?

Not a plumber, but it will take longer the first time due to the room temperature water now being replaced with cold stored or mains water, so the boiler has to do more work the first time after a refill of the system. But the next time should be ok. Obviously if this is not the case with yours...

A pic would be good. Not sure if I can remove existing ones as the valves pretty much stuck in the wall.

Its definitely cold water getting into the hw through this shower valve. I isolated cold to said shower and hot taps hot again. Open isolation with tap open and flow to tap increases and it goes cold. You can hear it flowing through isolation valve as you open it up. The key to the answer...

The shower installation manual says check valves are already within the unit inself so none fitted in feeds. I'll get some tomorrow and do hot and cold just to be sure. Ive seen double and single check valves does it mater which I use... Damb sight cheaper than a new combi anyway... HW flow...

You dont have a thermostatic mixer shower or similar like me do you?

Its funny you say this. Ive just got out the shower. Still had to heavily gag in but I decided to leave it running when I got out and try the HW tap in the same bathroom (I'd tried this tap 10mins earlier with shower off and luke warm) and its hot! Very hot indeed! Yey! I then put...

Two monoblock mixers downstairs. One bathroom upstairs with a monoblock on the basin and a thermostatic bath/shower diverter mixer, wouldnt say was excessive? How would I check the temp coming from the boiler accurately? I know the routes of all pipes within the house. I'm not sure how cold...
