Ok so would you recommend trying to get a plumper in to do it? I know there is limescale in the pipes and the kitchen tap doesn't currently work as there is too much cold pressure for the level of hot pressure. Thanks for the advice.

The problem is lumps of limescale that built up when I had the system off for a year and are now all round the pipes. It means that the water is only trickling out the hot tap. Not sure a water softener would sort the problem. Sorry if this is a stupid question but what is HCI and will it...

Hi I have had lots of problems with my hot water pressure that has been going on for months. I have found the problem is limescale in the pipes. I managed to get it out the pipes to the bath but can't seem to get it out the pipes to the kitchen tap. I have tried forcing it out with cold...

Ok I took out the hot water cylinder. It was completely full of limescale, I gave it a good wash out with a hose. I then connected it all back up and filled it up. Seemed to be working well then I turned the hot tap off on the bath, when I turned it back on it's back to how it was before. I...

Ok I have filled it back up but unfortunalty no change in the pressure. I have showed the photo to a plumber and he inks it's limescale. He said I should try take the cylinder outsidenand wash it all out but by the sounds of it I will still have a block in some of the pipes. Does taking...

I did get new taps so had to hunt down the manual that came with them. It says they are suitable for a min pressure of 0.3 bar. So that would only be 3m head which I easily have. I guess it does depend on the cold pressure though. I will fill it all back tomorrow and hope the blockage in the...

Ok doesn't look like it worked. The picture showed inside the outlet at the top of the tank about half the outlet was blocked by what looked like the same material that is insulating the tank.

Thanks for your reply. I have drained all the system and started looking through all the valves and I think I have found a blockage. I will try add a photo cid:A0FBFC66-E967-412A-98C9-5A8AED6617B6/IMAG0072.jpg This is on the top of the hot water cylinder which is the hot feed out I think...

I'm in need for some advice. We have been living in the house for nearly a year but never have the hot water on because it's at such a low pressure only cold comes out the mixer tap in the kitchen. I completely renovated the house before we moved in but it's the same heating system...

Hi not sure if anyone is still looking at this page but I was after some more advice. After a long time doing nothing I have finally made the frames for my wardrobes but now need to make the doors. I am after shaker style so was going to as jasonb suggested and have thicker wood around the...

Hi I have removed an area of pebbles and an area with lots of plants in and I want to lay turf. I am planning on getting some top soil for the area that used to be pebbles but am unsure what to do with the area which has plants on. I have been removing as much as I can and there are lots(and...

That looks like a good way to do the doors but I only have a router and im not sure I will be good enough to cut those groves in, would you say this is quite a hard thing to do? In terms of putting a vent in the carcase where do you think I should put it. I have been having problems with damp...

Sorry to keep asking questions but I have just be around a friends who has had some wardrobes fitted professionally. They cost a lot but look good. The thing that is different is they are made using a frame for the front of the wardrobes then inside it is just the bedroom wall. I was...

Thanks for your replies, the photos are very useful. So I will make a plinth floor at the same height as my skirting boards then work from that. In terms of material would mdf be better than melamime? Do you think I need to put a back on the or should it be ok without? My girlfriend really...
