I'm gathering the pump would still be needed though and would still be in the wrong place? Whats th benefits of the sealed ove open vent?

Ok ... Well mine looks instantly wrong straight away then as from my boiler there is a pipe with the pump attached about a foot of pipe work away with an arrow pointing away from my boiler. Where this goes i dont know as i cant trace the pipe work to easy but i guess this is a problem straight...

Ok so looks like it's not corrosion as the air coming out of th eradicator blows my lighter out. When I look at the set up of the pump and vent how should these be placed? What would I be looking for that would suggest they are piped wrong. I need to ask as I know the guys that installed...

Just out of interest if it was a corroded system would i not find i need to bleed all the radiators? Its only this one and is the first one the water comes to from the tank in the loft? Cheers Gav

Thanks all, i will look into this. Cheers LP

Hi all, My bathroom radiator which i think is the first radiator in the loop always needs bleeding. When the heating is in use you could bleed it every day if you wanted. Within a week nearly the whole rad is cold :( When i shut this radiator off i think from what i remember the air...

Hi all, I'm just after a bit of advice re plastering rooms in our house. One of teh ares we would liek to do first is probably our bedroom which for some reason has been covered all over in that bobbly horrible artex :( The main walls in the house are solid walls ( no cavity ). The...

Urm... Thanks :roll: Was not said already, it was said that it needed to be removed right into the loft space. Which is why i asked the question.

Can the chimney not be supported on an rsj so just be knocked out on the ground floor?

Could anyone give a rough idea of costs for the above. The wall is between my dining room and kitchen and there is about a 3 inch step down into the kitchen. There is a chimney breast between the two rooms also but this is unused. Whats involved in the job and is it an expensive one...

Anyone? Any recommendations?

Hello I live in an old house that has what look to be prehistoric radiators, all valves are jammed open so have no control over them, and some rooms have no heating at all so need rads installing. The ones that are there already need respec'ing for room sizes as they are rubbish and need...

Hi all, I'm after a central heating engineer to come and quote for some work on our central heating system. I live in Northwich in Cheshire. Can anyone recommend anyone? Many thanks

I will give that ago although the radiator for the bedroom isn't exactly luke warm or anything, it gets really hot to touch and seems to be hot all over. Thats why i thought i just needed a bigger radiator. The rooms are 2.7m high and this room does have two external walls with no cavity as...

I would love to change the entire lot yes but at present i think i just need bigger rads to warm rooms better. I really have no money to change the entire system and to make things worse we have just had all new carpet layed upstairs which i don't really want to be lifting :( My main...

Many thanks for that. One of my issues is my bedroom fails to get warm in winter. The radiator in there does look old but does get hot. The radiatoris a big one but is very thin , prob only about an inch wide at most. What I'm wondering is can i just swap the rad out for a modern new one...

I mean each individual radiator. Do you have to buy a certain type of radiator or is it just the way the radiator is connected that makes it a one pipe or two pipe system. I know the trvs are specific but are radiators specific?

Is there a difference or is it just the way they are plumbed in? Cheers Gav

Not in the slightest. I'm pretty sure if you were being told different things by different people you would be a bit wary of spending £1300 on something that may be of no use! If i thought i was better than the plumbers i would be doing the job myself.

Not sure i get you ... is that a no? I did have a central heating engineer come round and quote for changing all rads that are there at the mo and installing two new ones. How do i know i'm getting the right info. He wasnt going to change ony of the pipe work just the rads?
