    Has the boiler fitter bypassed our water softener???

    As above check combi manufacturers instructions. Going by the hose union tap it looks like new cold connection was made on incoming supply to softener rather than softened side. If you can use softened water in your combi needs pipework altering. I'd be swapping those small flexi hoses for...

    Gravity based back boiler CH system - Advice needed.

    Agreed that's a Y plan with a god dam awful airjec doing cold feed/open vent. Im betting that's full of crap. Cylinder stat should be higher up as well. Boiler stat needs turning down a bit they do get out of calibration.

    Three random radiators on three different floors are cold including pipes, townhouse, heat only boiler with water tank.

    First move is to turn off all rads that are working see if the others come on. If they do system probably needs balancing.

    mixing Fernox leak stop and unknown inhibitor

    As above try finding leak. If it's taking 6 weeks to drop pressure I'd be having a good look at all rad valves . Take of heads of trv's and dust caps off lockshields. Auto air valves if you have any can be another source of problems. Just fit a decent system filter, difficult to understand...

    What pushfit system is this and how to remove and refit?

    We have used many hundreds of polyfit fittings on first fix with zero problems. I certainly wouldn't be bothering to change undisturbed fittings . You can use speedfit fittings on polypipe tube but you must use the polypipe inserts. Most polypipe inserts are now black plastic they work...

    Anyone know where to find Terrain Corniche guttering?

    Terrain was bought out by Polypipe many years ago. They then ran range down and totally discontinued it about 3 to 4 years ago. To be blunt i think your on a hiding to nothing. Maybe email Polypipe and ask if adaptors are available but don't hold your breath!
