What is the reason behind the current trend of fitting room thermostats in place of or , in conjunction with TRVs ? Years ago the trend moved away from room therms to TRVs , the current trend is for room therms . Why the reversal ?

Thanks for the information guys, it is helpful. Basically my current boiler gives 27KW output and 9.6 litres / min HW. A 33KW bolier will give me 13.5 litres / min and a 40KW 16 litres per min. The 33 KW is MORE than capable for CH but the 16 litres / min HW from the 40KW would be nice...

Hi It's become time to change my combi boiler , currently an Ariston MFFI27. Going to put a Baxi in , looking at a mini,mum of the 33KW model but I'd like to go for the 40KW because of the better HW flow. Is there any reason not to go for the higher output model although I don't need the...

Hi. I have fitted sliding wardrobe doors to my son's bedroom. The doors run from one wall and stop 3 foot short of the wall at the other side of the room. I need to make a wall to close off the wardrobe . I am going to make the 3 foot left over area a study area and either put a desk in there...

:lol: You are correct Tony - my boiler is operated on a reactive maintenance schedule !! I do like to fix things but as you can tell from my questions I know very little about how a boiler works. I like to understand the fault and fix of thoings, and I'm struggling to understand the sludge...

Been thinking about the sludge build up and can't understand why the boiler cuts out when DHW is requested . If I turn hot tap on there must be a valve or summat that allows the water to be heated, flow through the boiler must be sensed by a switch which operates a valve or similar. If the...

Thanks guys Is the fix relatively straightforward or am I looking at big cost and maybe cheaper to replace the boiler ?

Hi Just installed a thermostatic shower and noticed it runs hot for maybe 30 secs then goes cool for maybe 10 secs , then hot for 30 secs and continues on this cycle. I hadn't noticed this before and thought the new shower was at fault but when running the kitchen hot tap the same cycle...

Have a look at Novellini trays, I've just put one in my shower room, well, am in the process of putting it in .....

I'm fitting a combi fed shower and the back of the wall the shower will be mounted on is near a chimney breast. To minimise potential future leaks I've been thinking about plumbing from an accessible point to the shower in complete lengths of pipe, ie. no joins. Can anyone recommend flexi 15...

So, if I go down the fitting of a tank, what is the simplest method of getting a system . Is it a hot water tank with electric immersion coil with a pump supplying the shower mixer valve ? I wont be running two showers at the same time, nor a bath and shower but someone could run the hot tap...

Thanks guys. I think what I'll do is fit a temp rubber shower head to my bath mixer tap and see what the flow is like.

Thanks Kevplumb But what do I need to do to give me a power type shower from a combi boiler ?

Many thanks.

Hi I'm looking for some guidance on replacing the waste soil pipe at the rear of my house. I need to replace a section of about 20 feet that connects to the outlet from the toilets and gutters. It is Clay, not sure if it is 4" or 6", don't suppose that matters for the point of discussion...
