Hi, We've had problems with smells in our Utility Room and yesterday it got really bad, smelt like a farm! I traced it to coming from behind washing machine, pulled washing machine out and found that to the side of the washing machine is what looks like a waste pipe from upstairs. It goes...

Who said anything about a semi? It is a detached with a double garage and each bedroom is a double bedroom as per above and it has a study and en-suite and utility so bit more to heat than a standard 3 bed semi. If we're about to add a bigger Rad I'm glad the boiler is perhaps a bit higher...

Gotcha, thanks.

What does that mean in non-gasman speak ? :)

Thanks chaps.

Thanks. So if I order the rad do I need to order a thermostatic valve for it as well or will whoever fits it sort that? It is a chrome towel radaiator, dual fuel.

Thanks chaps, this is really helpful. It's a reasonably large 3 double bed house. So we've got rads in Lounge, Kitchen, Utility, Hall, Cloakroom, Study, Bedroom x 3, Landing and en-suite. So I make that 11 rads unless I'm mis-counting. So is it safe to say 82000 BTU divided by 11 Rads...

I couldn't see a "data badge" anywhere though, what does one of them look like? Not that it matters now if the above is enough info.

Thanks. It's a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 24Ri This is a scan of the manual if you can help me make sense of it: http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/2838/boilerbj4.jpg (might have to click in IE to zoom). I've highlighted our model (yellow). Does that mean max of 24-25 KW? What is...

Hi, We need to upgrade a radiator in our bathroom, we think we know how many BTUs we need it to be but do we need to check that we aren't going to overload our boiler somehow? How do we figure out how much load the boiler can take and what the current load is? Thanks Paul

Are there people out there who could come and take a look and tell us what best course of action would be? A surveyor? Or heating engineer of some kind? Plumbers always seem to look at it as a plumbing issue - e.g. bigger radiator, but presumably that just masks the problem?

Thanks, it was more than that 1800 to 2000odd i.e. like 2500-2800 or something. It is quite a small radiator - we have the exact same size rad in our en-suite which is half the size. If I post the dimensions in here can you help? It is double glazed, wooden windows. Had considered...

Hi, thanks for reply. RE: Mould, the bathroom is hardly used, but when it is its freezing. We've had sealed up fans before and not had an issue with mould, we tend to open windows. We didn't want to seal-up the fan ideally but could see no other way, it had already been changed for one with a...

Hi, We live in a 2 year old house, and the main bathroom is often very cold indeed. Rest of house fine, although this is one of 3 rooms with ceiling fan and had noticed draught coming through so in this room I've sealed up the fan but still a problem. Our neighbour has an identical house...
