How do I go about having the system independently checked? Obviously i'm prepared to pay for the system to be independently checked. I would need a report of all the design and installation faults. I sent this to the heating company in response to their invoice payment request: "I...

The boiler is a WB 30CDi. The shower was recommended by the installers. What they did today was to leave the heating on for over 2 hours to get the vertical rad to warm up. That's obviously not acceptable! This particula rad worked perfectly on the old system and would set fire to your...

Just before I part with the best part of £5K, I have a few issues with a new central heating install which was to replace an old gravity-fed system. The new system was combi-boiler based. One of the existing radiators (which was a vertical wall radiator) does not heat up properly. The...

LOL. One of the decorators quoted 6 weeks with 3 decorators on site full time to decorate my house! Anyway, I was wondering if the 'holiday' setting would be sufficient to enable HW only from a WB 30CDi? From the user manual, the 'holiday' button does this:

Is it best to get one 'bathroom fitting' company to replace my bathroom (toilet, basin, shower in place of bath, plumbing, electrics, tiling, painting ceiling and woodwork, flooring etc) or get it done in bits with specialist contractors for each phase?

I'm having a new CH and DHW system installed soon which will involve the fitting of a WB 30CDi boiler. However, at some point in the next few weeks I will have to decorate my property and the radiators will have to be taken off. They may have to stay removed for several weeks as the property...

I've just filled a huge pond in! It's covered with soil now.

Just the bit below the house (the bathroom is directly above the integral bit).

I'm getting a completely new CH and DHW system installed shortly. A few weeks later I will be decorating my property and this is likely to take 3-4 weeks. During that time the deocrators will need to remove all of the radiators. The central heating company will bleed and balance the system...

The area is 3.81m x 4.1m = 15.621 square metres. I guess you should buy a bit more than that though. Sorry, but I can only help with the maths and not your other questions.

I've had the mother of all ponds filled with tons and tons of crushed concrete and then a 12" layer of topsoil. Now I need to work out what I can plant/do with that topsoil. The area of the topsoil is in the middle of a decked rear garden. just as you step down from the patio area and to the...

I have a part-integral garage with a flat-roof. The ceiling has broken plasterboard and all sorts of water wans waste pipes running at various angles across it (some of the water pipes supply the bathroom which is above the integral part of the garage). What's the best way to insulate and fix...

I emailed the electrician with regards to my plans for re-insulating the loft with 250mm of loft insulation after the electrical work is completed and he stated in his reply: "I would like to confirm that all electrical installation in loft area will be prepared for insulation as required by...

It's an old house and possibly has more than one layer of wallpaper. The wallpaper has been painted and I need to expose the walls for filling and then painting. What tools do I need to strip the wallpaper cleanly? I'm looking to hire labourers but I need to supply all of the tools...

Hmm...the installer said the garage was the best place for it. I did question the lack of heating in the garage - even though half of the garage is integral to the property. The home survey did pick up on several water pipes not being lagged in the garage so I have asked the installer to lag...

Floorboards will be up but I think the issue is that the new boiler is being put in a completely new location. The old one is in the centre of the house where the chimney flue is but the installers have said that new boilers can't be put in that location and you can't have a flue going up the...

It's for quotes for replacement central heating. I was just intrigued that all of the installation companies automatically added a wireless stat to the quote instead of a wired one.

I need to put up some temporary sheets and polythene over window openings. I don't want to make holes in the wall so need some strong adhesive tape. I've tried parcel packing tape but that isn't strong enough.

Thanks for the reply, rgas. I guess I should be okay with the kit they're supplying then!

Apparently it's a Honeywell Chronotherm. Not sure of the exact model number though.
