This I did not know. I've reverted to this thread in the hope i can find a way of taking my drawer unit out. If i can do that then i think i can get into the cavity below and resolve the issue. Tearing out part of my brand new kitchen...

Obvs if i'd been doing it myself i would have researched it and got it right. Only problem is the law says get a gassafe and then they do this.

OK thanks ATTQ that's useful experience to know about.

Hi all, i have been really stitched up by a cowboy plumber (see here: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/looking-for-advice-where-an-installer-has-used-15mm-for-main-heating-feeds.651154/) and so need to take the drawer unit out of my new kitchen to access the floor beneath and run additional...

A couple of pictures for anyone interested. The first one shows the wall the pipes will need to run down and the second one the entry points either side of the cavity underneath the floor.

Hi Madrab, your questions feel like the right ones. I was really trying to work out whether i needed to pull up my floor and lay 22mm or could live with it. My dad's not a heating engineer but he can burn pipes ok so he just replaced like for like aiming for a better, longer term job in copper...

They were all insulated before the floor went down

We've had new plumbers round insistent that it will put pressure on the boiler to drive everything round through subspec piping and the low flow will mean burning gas for longer, so a lot lower efficiency.

Hi folks, me and my other half are puzzling over how to deal with a situation left to us by our boiler installer. The installer removed the boiler from our kitchen and moved it to the storage off our bathroom on the first floor, but he used 15mm plastic pipe to connect the new boiler with the...

Any reason not to go stronger?

Thanks - this looks like the best bet, and dilute a bit...

I'm planning to take off all my old radiators, which I think have been running for ages without any inhibitor, hose them through in the backyard and restart the system as clean as possible and with loads of Fernox. If i buy new rads they most likely won't fit and i'll end up adapting all the...

Hi this is preying on my mind and so i wanted to ask for opinions before i put tiles down. Its been a lot of work but we've finally finished removing the concrete part of my kitchen floor and putting in a properly levelled suspended floor throughout. As you can see from the pictures i've used...

Great, i'll do that - thanks. When is it time to worry about the rads springing leaks?

The last boiler was a combi too, but i've just bought the house and it was in a state of advanced disrepair.

He is now saying he just did a flush not a power flush so i don't think i can press him any longer on that point. My rads are probably a bit younger than thirty years but that is a lot of rust, suggesting that the previous owner of the house never put in any inhibitor. What do you think i should...

Hi wants £400 for a power flush. Is there any way i can prove one hasn't been done?

Hi thanks for the responses. Its a standard combi system with a Main boiler. There is a big sticker on the front of the boiler requiring a power flush and magnaclean. I'll take this up with the engineer.

5 hours all in. He said that there wasn't space to put the magnaclean in but if i wanted one he'd come back and do it in combination with another job i need doing.
