Thanks for the info so far, I had a builder and RGI installer out (same person) who said it would be ~£400 to fit the fire as in current situation (as photo) down to ~£120 for gas connection with no building work. This seems somewhat expensive to me. And obviously I want to keep cost down. A...

Thanks, suppose its worth checking the chinmey too, might as well make a big mess all at the same time! Ta.

Just for your info, I followed your advice and took the death trap back. Thanks for all your input, much appreciated.

I have recently remove a terrible fire surround and am going to replace this with a new fire, surround and hearth. It looks as though the original fire was removed and the resulting hole was reduced using bricks and mortar to leave a tight enough space for the new (i.e. current) fire. A...

Just an update, hoping for a little more help. I have checked the smallest water tank in the loft which has a water level present as should be. I DO keep needing to bleed the radiators, but it seems there is no sign of any air getting dragged in by the new pump, only the upstairs rads though...

Sorry about the delay in getting back. Thanks for all of your input, will have a look at the pump speed, I'm sure its fitted the right way and I suspect that the new pump is just out-performing the old pump, The majority of the noise seems to come from where the boiler is situated. I...

I have just had a new pump fitted to my Baxi Bermuda back boiler. The previous pump, according to the plumber the faulty pump was very old, probably original circa mid 70s? The problem is now the heating pipes make banging and clanking noises when heating up, and periodically when switched on...

Thanks very much, that answers my question, although creates another - How do I get it off? I presume make a new cut into he copper pipes at each end and replace all the plastic with a different 'system' (i.e. speedfit or hep2o). Many thanks again.

not sure it unscrews sorry its sideways on...

wow that was quick! seems similar from what I can see, what are my options from here then? Should I go back to the copper and start again with speedfit or hep2o (and which is easier/better?) or can I branch from this? thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm looking to install a dishwasher taking a cold water feed somewhere after an isolator on route to my kitchen tap. The pipework goes from 15mm copper to grey plastic with HBP 15 written on it (and then back to copper via 2 elbows and alength of this plastic pipe). The elbows from here...

Thanks for the replys, I've tried looking for a place to take a piece from but unfortunately it is only present in the two reception rooms hence no wardrobes etc. Very useful info though, thanks very much!!

After having a fire surround removed I will need some replacement skirting board, the only problem is how to match it, and where to get it from. Short of replacing the whole room, I need to find some 225mm (1930s ?) skirting. Is it very costly to have it made, if not any recommendations in...

are the flueless fires really that bad? How do they pass current legislation if they are? I think a carbon monoxide monitor is a must anyhow with any type of gas fire. I am willing to reconsider (especially as it still sealed and boxed) if there is supporting information as I dont really...

Also do I need to have an airbrick/vent in the newly closed up chimney? Thanks in advance.

I have a (massive and heavy) fire surround which I wish to remove, there is also a gas fire which will need (professionally) isolating. I have purchased a new wall mountable flueless gas fire but am unsure of how to proceedas this will be situated higher up the chimney breast than the...
