    Tools stolen from uninsured house- What would you do?

    Some silly comments on here. The lads van was off the road so it was difficult to get them home and back again. We can all take the moral high ground and say what he should have done from in front of a computer screen. Im sure those commenting would have done exactly the same.

    Heatline Monza 24/28 combis-marks out of 10 please

    Fitted one last year and was called back one week later. Diverter valve motor head had failed. Turned out a "plumber" fitted a tap in the bathroom resulting in water hammer.

    Disadvantages of a closed system boiler on 1990s house

    Not a fan of fitting boilers in lofts full stop. Last resort. Regarding the pressure increase, i've had a handful of original open vented systems leaking when converting to a sealed system. To put it in to context I would say 95% of systems cope with the difference in pressure. In my opinion...

    Air into closed system CH?

    Could just be air in the system left in there from the original fill up. You could have missed venting it out the first time.

    air in system

    Could be a plumbing issue. The vent, inlet and pump should be within 150mm and be in that order. Vent Inlet Pump. Check the system has been installed with this method. Air could be getting drawn down the vent in to the system if its plumbed in wrong.
