fair enough - I'll follow what mr WB says. We have 13 rads in all, and a brand new (well 12 months old) WB 30Kw CDI regular. Most of the time we use 12, and have UfH in the dining room. The boiler doesn't really seem to be the problem; the rads on the newer circuits (ie upstairs, and in...

If I could have some advice from the knowledgeable people of DIYNOT I’d be extremely grateful. We have a converted chalet bungalow – c.1955. The heating up in the loft is fine, the heating in the new kitchen is fine. The heating in the old part of the house, especially the back rooms, isn’t...

The PCB fuse had blown. Bit annoying hiding a fuse right in the middle of the boiler However, heating engineer changed it to a spare, and it blew again a minute later (similar to the experience on Saturday - runs for a minute and then blows). So Worcester Bosch are coming out tomorrow...

Yeah - pretty much. The RCD has been reset, and we have no power to that spur (only that spur though, all the rest is fine). As the boiler was serviced on Thursday - would he have done something - even inadvertently - that could have caused the leak. Something we can start on when he turns up...

Many thanks. I was going to leave it to the heating engineer. Just intrigued and frustrated I can't work it out! Could it be the UFH? Turned the manifold from 3 to 6 yesterday for the first time. Guess the extra demand may have pushed the pump over the edge!

Interesting one tonight. Boiler worked fine this morning; heating and water. This evening - 4pm, water came on. At 4.05pm, the Boiler spur tripped in the RCD. I flicked it back up, all okay and boiler came back on. Ten minutes later it tripped again, and even flicking the RCD switch back...

Morning all silly question time I'm afraid. had this boiler almost a year now. Works well (when the EEV doesn't explode...) but slightly confused with it. And the instruction manual is a little lacking. There's no Hot water temp control. Does it rely on the Central heating temp...

morning all just finished our extension, and co-incidentally the house insurance is up for renewal. During the extension, the corner wall was extended (obv!). The building inspector looked at the foundation there and demanded more, due to the added weight or the beam above. So an extra...

There are many underfloor heating websites http://www.nu-heat.co.uk/s.nl?it=I&id=573 which suggested a millimetre per day for screed. To quote "In other words for a 65mm screed there is a recommended drying time of 80 days. "

Thanks people I'll have a go at turning it on (low setting etc). Just don't want to scupper things for the sake of a couple more weeks

Morning all Got a question about screed drying times...seems to be confusion as to how long to wait until we can put the UFH on. It's a normal sand/cement screed, about 18sqm - about 95mm thick The builder says 1inch per week. The heating engineer says 1mm per day. So one is saying...

sorry! Technical lingo and all...

I have a detached double garage with a pitched roof. It's got a single skin wall , double glazed windows and a large [auto] door. It's situated with two sides surrounded by a 5ft retaining wall, and the other two don't get a lot of wind due to the road location (surrounded on 3 sides by hills)...

Hi Due to the nature of our house plot - at the top of a valley, surrounded on three sides by valley sides and woods - our garage gets condensated in winter. Quite badly. Ventilation is obviously key; try and keep doors and windows open as much as possible, but an obvious security flaw...

to be honest, if it works, fine. I'll be happy. But it'll take a while unfortunately (the previous occupants let the heating system get in a bit of a state), and we're coming up to the coldest time of year again. And the fact that he doesn't accept he may not be 100% right rankles. I only...

there is a decent worcester filter on the return just before the boiler; again he's cleaned that out today. So that'll help - in the longer term. I'm tempted to take a radiator off this weekend, then prove to him that the problem is solved in that rad - but now he's installing the new TRVs...

exactly what I thought! Undoubtedly the Sentinel - he put more in today apparently - will continual to break down the sludge in the radiator so it will slowly get better. But taking off the rad (or even replacing it) will do the job in a much shorter period of time.

he is a heating engineer. With a excellent reputation (and as I say i've no complaints with any of the actual installations he's done). He's a Accredited Worcester installer, and we've already recieved the warranty acceptance back from Worcester so I'd like to think he's installed it...

We've got sludge in a few downstairs radiators, and I'd like some advice please. At the moment we're undergoing building work, and part of that involves a new boiler etc. There's a couple of rooms downstairs where the previous occupants didn't have the heating on, and as a result I think...

Many thanks I'll see what he says next week; to be honest it's mostly his son who does the work and he does the complaining... The rest of the work has been excellently done, so I don't really think they're cutting corners here, just want to be sure.
