Will definitely be taking my time as 4 new radiators to fit so some new pipe work needed before topping up to test before banging the cleaner in Will advise my better half to stick a couple of extra jumpers on just in case

thanks @mcprinter Any thoughts or preference between the cleaners from fernox sentinel and Adey or are they all much of a muchness ? I’ll be doing the slower approach and not power flushing

Thanks again @Madrab Definitely not straw coloured as mentioned due to a lack of inhibitor so think it warrants it So x400 mentions leave in system for 3-4 weeks I think I assume anything up to that time is fine then yes , and running it around daily ?

Thanks @Madrab The boiler is a little noisy when running and some of the radiators do take a while to warm up also There was a leak that I only found recently which was the reason why my pressure kept dropping (behind tf1 where it connects to the return, fitted by plumber in a really awkward...

Meant to say, this was a 4x4m extension on the back of our house, so wasn’t a new build house It was 10 years ago, but I’m still a little bit annoyed that the builder didn’t ask as like you. I’ve preferred copper all the way wasn’t Hard up for 30 quid of copper

Thanks for the comprehensive reply, @Andy165 I managed to pull a spotlight down when I understood the route the pipes would take and yes they are lagged, but as they appear to cross timbers, I don’t think they look to be clipped from what I can see which is limited

I will soon be replacing some radiators and then plan to run a cleaner like X400 through the system I’ve just checked, and it looks like my Builder chose to use some plastic pipe for the long run to the radiators in our extension rather than copper (in the ceiling, not down to the actual...

@RandomGrinch - thanks for your post although you lost me fairly early on there my friend :D

thanks @Madrab so when you mention a normal convecting radiator, you mean a type 11, 21 or 22 type of thing ?

thanks for all the replies so can i ask a different question regarding BTU As mentioned, i've measured up my lounge which is an odd shape into rectangles and calculated an overall BTU whereby the overall sqm2 is 98.325 thus i've calculated it at 13809 BTU i've included the patio doors, # of...

@RandomGrinch thanks for your input. So I’m looking at the Milano Windsor traditional style radiator not the Aruba but my question is more around how bestheating can offer a 20 year guarantee It seems to be double what most other radiators offer

thanks for the reply @Madrab I've currently got 2 x Ximax duplex P1's and have had them for a number of years (~10 years), but we are looking for a design change hence we a thinking of going more traditional. Also, the heat output has never been great and they are positioned in the wrong place...

@muggles @Tetrarch - thanks both for your replies Can i assume that you both mean Aruba's and not the Aruba Ayre's ? Interesting to hear the paint issue after a couple of years which is disappointing Seems the finish used by Bestheating is white powder coated finish

Hi all, I'm looking to install some new radiators and i've been drawn to the traditional 3 column Milano Windsors being offered by Bestheating.com I'm particularly curious about their ability to offer a 20 year guarantee whereas it appears that the industry norm is typically 5 years but...

Thanks @Johntheo5

@Johntheo5 …… 2M ??

Thanks for sharing @Mister Banks So seems like it will run but damage is being done until eventual failure….agree ?

Thanks @CBW So a future project I’m planning to do is add a few more radiators but I was apprehensive about not completing it in a single day and thus we had no hot water either So do you think I can effectively knock out the heating then but my taps will work fine ? Hopefully when I get...

I’ve returned from holiday today and my central heating system (Worcester Greenstar 37cdi) has a leak on my Fernox TF1 joints I’ve got some rubber washers so will replace tomorrow But my question is, the pressure needle as shown on the attached photo was virtually nil BUT the central heating...

Sorry for the *bump*, but would any kind souls out there be able to advise on the enclosed queries that i have please ? Thanks in advance (y)
