    Nest Again Sorry

    I want to replace my British Gas UP2 programmer (Drayton LP822) with a Nest jobby. Did a quick compatibility check on the nest sight and none of the Drayton pin idents are listed on the checker. Drayton idents that are connected are N,L,1,3,4. Am I looking in the right place? Many thanks

    Gas Fire Permanent Removal

    Thanks for your advice Gas, I will do as you say. Is it literally a standard sheet of plasterboard that normally covers the flue opening then? Yes I have plugged the restrictor elbow. I will be getting someone in to chop it back. Thanks
