Sorry thought the remark "accurate estimation" was :lol: :lol: My rates also had to cover when I didn't have any work, right or wrong I still had the same bills coming in each month. I had had customers that absolutely loved me and sent me Christmas cards and then there were the few that...

:lol:

Thanks Boilerman, if we know what we have is near enough we'll just replicate it the other side of the wall :wink:

He's not intentionally doing it on the cheap [what he's spent up to now adds up to more than cheap], not a lot of choice really. It's a big old house that's had a new roof [wasn't cheap, 50,000 Kent pegs], insulation throughout the loft space and a lot warmer than it used to be. The old...

Just found out the boiler going in is a Grant Multi pass 140 "Wouldn't the circulator have been cavitating with a single paddle type valve fitted on the return?" Haven't go the foggiest :? :oops:

Hi Norcon I will try and find out boiler size today and the model number, it's my mates so need to contact him :wink: I can tell you it's about the size of a washing machine and bl**dy heavy :oops:

Wow, thanks for all the replies guys :D The house is a very large house [looks like a row of terraces], my friends bought it 15 years ago as a project and still trying to sort things out. This shows the pipework below the valves, the two 15mm tails going through the wall do a couple of...

Thanks for the speedy reply :D I only got involved when their oil fired burner packed up [rusted through], that's been removed and a new one sourced, I'm unfamiliar with their system so don't know how it operated but can investigate further. I just couldn't work out what the loop/valve...

Hi all I'm helping a mate move his oil fired central heating boiler and hot water tank into an adjacent room and studying the existing pipework, well there's this loop with valve that we can't work out it's function. I've outlined the loop in white, it has nothing coming off the back of...

Thanks for your input Woody but we've decided to walk away from this one :(

Rooms were lovely proportions, it was a great size with no near neighbours but I don't think it's worth saving as it isn't anything special to look at.

Hi Jackthebiscuit Many thanks for taking the time out to reply and we have pretty well decided to walk away from this one, we know we'd have nothing left after purchasing and gut feeling is it'll get worse. I did inspect the loft and everything was fine up there, in fact it was the best...

Hi All We've fallen in love with a detached house in the middle of a Lincolnshire field that seems to be sinking at the rear :shock: We haven't bought it yet but have made an offer so still have time to opt out [offer hasn't been excepted yet]. Due to lack of work/finances we're having...

Thanks Tony, I'll pass that info on and you're right, I can't tell if they're running or not, they just make a humming noise :?

Just been reading the manual I've downloaded and this seems to fit the bill but not necessarily right. Boiler cycling on and off the fan and burner come on for short periods but the pump can be heard. • There is an air lock in the boiler or system pipework and the interrupter thermostat...

Hi I'm not sure what that is unless it refers to what's in the pic's [sorry my ignorance], I know it seems over complicated compared to my heating system at home in a much bigger house. Any advice appreciated and thanks for taking the time out to reply Brian

Hi Tony I don't think it's gas gas problem but more of a circulation one being as the system functioned fine but was completely drained off, I was hoping it was air trapped in the system somewhere and not much more. The boiler appears to function fine other than shutting off due to...

Hi all I'm brand new on here and discovered this site while trying to find a user/installation guide for a ideal classic ff350. My friend has just bought a house for his Son to use while at Uni, the house was ex council and had quite a recent [looks recent, few year's maybe] central...
