To both! Was this issue addressed? Was it rectified? We have similar!

Hi - thanks all - I should have worded my post more carefully but appreciate all the comments. Cheers!

I’m not! I’m saying thank you to the people discussing this, which has helped me diagnose a fault on this same boiler. But you seem happy to join this thread to accuse me of something I didn’t do. Whatever.

Thank you!! Our main boiler has packed up, and we have one of these in an unused part of our hoise. I had shut the water off to that part of the house, and had only partly opened the supply valve, and the comment about it not firing up with a low flow, explained why it wasn’t firing up. So I’d...

Hi DP. What I’ll do is get the plumber who did the expansion vessel / thermistor / filling valve to come back and have a look. A new boiler would be a lot of money so if it’s fixable it’s a question of what would be cost-effective. Cheers

Prior to disconnecting the external controls, fired it up this morning, and all sorts of strange noises. Banging and intermittent whooshing from the pump. I have a horrible feeling this thing is just about to die spectacularly so I think I may well just have it replaced. Thinking of the...

Good idea. Will try that.

This is all positive! Any pointers as to what I should be looking for? Happy to look at any electronics / sensors etc.

Hi all! I hope there’s someone out there who can solve this mystery. I first noticed an issue a few days ago, because even in the hot weather, the radiators were getting warm. In either DHW or DHW+heating (makes no difference): Internal circulating pump runs constantly during which: - Boiler...

No - sorry! Despite everything, and thanks to everyone's comments on here, I'm still interested in "mine". But now: only if I can get it properly examined before committing AND can then get it at a price that allows me to do the work. You've all let me see that otherwise it would be nuts.

That's a brilliant answer - thank you. Yes, basically it would require a huge amount to put right if something major was lacking. And I'm embarrassed that I didn't think about insurance because last year I looked at a house where building regs weren't in place and when I asked an insurer about...

Spoke to Building Control and (surprise, surprise - to quote the late Cilla Black) there are no BC records or certifications post 1995. They only had access to the electronic records, as everything before then was on paper. However, I was told that building regs certification didn't exist before...

Thank you both for your great points. Good point about whether the electrician was self-certifying but there's no way of finding out who did the work (there's no mains gas fortunately - or not). Have just had another look round with my friendly project manager, and there are definitely a few...

Hi all – new member here! I am thinking of buying a Grade 2 listed barn conversion which is approximately 85% complete. It had planning permission granted in 1992. What has been done, seems to have been done to a very good standard, and it's a solid, massive building. The electrics are all...
