Thanks. I have been trying to get the installer back and to fix it for a year. The system is 1 year old this month. My experience with plumbers has not been great...therefore im trying to glean the answers here so i can get direct an engineer to the correct solutions for the problems i am...

Hi All. Ive got a few issues with my recently installed heating system. The plumber that fitted it did a good enough job of running pipes and installing rads, but i have issues with noise, trapped air and rads heating up slowly, and the boiler was left in defaults for all settings. He also...

I'll just get the pipe moved. My concern was in the event if a CU fire my house disappears from existence. A bit of electrical tape isn't going to help me much there.

Which cost is passed onto the consumer, who is forced to hire a certified person

What with please. Note it's tight to the wall so can lag it

No drama. I'll ask the guy back tomorrow. Probably an hour job to move it. Interesting that I had an electrician out as well the week after the pipe was put in and they did a load of work on the CU. Didn't mention the pipe. Although I guess they only care about their regs.

Clearly a professional and a certificate that they are one is no guarantee that your installation is safe.

Eh?

Is this an issue? Gap is about 6cm. Should the plumber have installed the gas pipe this way and should I ask them to reroute it next time they are here? There are other potential routes and the installation is 4 months old. It just dawned on me that this might not be great in the event of a CU...

You might just have cracked it for me. Not a lot came out (maybe 2 seconds), but it seems to have stopped the issue as far as I can tell. Will monitor it. It quite tricky to tell as the worst tap is the furtherst from to boiler so it's tricky to hear it.

Yeah there is a capped pipe in the airing cupboard. I know there are two capped in the kitchen wall as well, hot and cold. Can't get to those. I could have the airing cupboard one ripped out when we have the bathroom done.

We recently had our heating and water system replaced with a combi. One thing that's really frustrating and probably costing us money, the boiler fires every time a cold tap, toilet or appliance is closed. This also seems to cause a build up of pressure in the hot taps. We have fairly high flow...

I have what looks like asbestos on my garage ceiling. Construction was 1967. Flat roof, with nothing above. See pic attached. I've had various trades in for various things. Options ranging from, that's cement board, to that's asbestos, to that's asbestos but not the dangerous stuff. I need...

That looks ideal. And cheap. Thank you

Morning. I just had my single pipe system replaced with all new pipes and rads. We have 4x chases to deal with on external walls. 2 drops from upstairs and 2 across walls to rad locations. The chases are not deep enough to put pipe lagging on the pipes. I know i need some protection before...

All in the ceiling void. It's a cold flat roof with celotex if that makes a difference (yeah I know it probably shouldn't have downlights in a cold roof but I didn't do it)

My thoughts exactly. Visually I was thinking of 50x2l bottles of water and thinking no chance the tiny f+e tank in my loft is anywhere close. Now I see the comment said system not tank!

I might be going nuts but there is no way the tank i have holds 100l. More like 20l

Must be it thanks. Best way to get out the excess...open the drain down valve for a minute?

lovely. Ta
