Yes, I've writtena letter so lets see what they come back with. I'm going to stop posting unless I get really stuck. Thanks for very useful advice. It was a 2 man team, they came at 8 and left at 1.30pm, had plenty of time to do it properly if they had wanted to. If they didn't and had told...

I've talked to the Remeha regional rep who stated catergorically 'powerflush' and the avanta installation manual states the word 'powerflush' - search the pdf! I've written a letter to the installation firm and have informed WF that I am not happy with the work - they said raise it first...

I have a Masters in Chemistry 8) My toilet is no where near the rad I thought I'd get some advice on here before I put my letter together, but make no mistake, they will be getting a letter in the next few days. I came on here to get some advice so that I didn't have the wool pulled...

TDS is the total dissolved solids ie impurities compared to tap water. A powerflush may not be needed, but it was quoted on the job sheet and was a part of the job. It would have been helpful becuase:- a)There are 2 rads that do not heat up very well and there are signs of external rust with...

Since all you guys constantly go on about rogues and cowboys undercutting you and leaving customers with a bad experience and giving you all a bad name, I am surprised that no one will tell me if I have the install steps in the right order and that they are not excessive/convoluted/etc bits...

Yes the boiler is working, but that is not the point. It was installed in a wilfully negligent fashion by a person who is meant to know better. From reading the correct procedure or accepted standards of system cleanliness, I can say with pretty much certainty that the warranty on the boiler is...

The bleed valves and the TRV's were not opened on a few of the radiators either. I don't know if they completely drained? I would have thought that this will slow the draining at least? My elderly parents paid £450 and the taxpayers (including my parents who worked from 18-65) paid the other...

This is the job sheet: Replace existing boiler with new Ideal Logic 30he condensing combination boiler with a standard flue configuration Change the trv on the hallway radiator for an LSV Install new programmable room thermomstat into the hallway Powerflush the heating system and treat...

OP, see my thread for the quality of work you will get if you are not on the ball, like me //www.diynot.com/forums/plumbing/new-boiler-installed-on-an-old-system-bodged-job.307487/ is this with current new warmfront installs??? I thought it was 2-3 years of servicing and repairs...

There are no stickers anywhere - none on the boiler or the benchmark booklet. This is what I read, but the only time I saw any water being drained was the initial emptying of the system. The system was installed 10 years ago. The other thing I forgot to mention is that the boiler had...

Like I said they made a significant contribution to the cost of just a replacement boiler. If they had paid for the entire install how would it have been better? CAN WE LEAVE THE WARMFRONT ISSUE OUT OF THIS. I just need a step by step guide as to what should have been done so I can...

Won't have pics until friday/sat, it looks neat enough as the boiler was a straight swap and I'm not too fussed about that. I just want it to work and be reliable and I've read that the main thing is not the quality of the boiler but the quality of the install. The install was just as i...

a scale inhibitor deviice and a spirovent were fitted to the system, is this enough or should the system have been power flushed? it is arouned 10 years old and some raditors don't heat up fully.

We have had to make a £450 'contribution' so please could you post what should have been done, so that I can get them to put it right.

Hi, My parents have just had a new boiler installed on an existing 10 year old system. The old boiler has been non functional for a approx 9 months. The new boiler has been installed by [EDITED]. This is what he did in around 5 hours:- 1) drained the old system from the cellar. He did not...

OK, I've made up my mind, I'm going with the LOGIC after your feedback and looking at it's repair manual. If the Logic is a bag of knackers atleast it is easy to strip and gives decent fault code info. I may even be able to do it myself! Couldn't find a repair manual for the WB junior, (is...

yep, i bought the ideal logic as that was a good deal at the time, however, the ravenheap is the 'lazarus' model so i returned the ideal and applied for the warm front grant :D PCB, connector and boiler contains al, au, pb, possibly ag also. I have contacted warmfront and they have...

Thanks for the advice, really want a vaillant to be honest or 2nd choice WB. The current boiler is a ravenheap - I do not want that 'quality' of boiler as replacement. I'm trying to get the best value for money for tax payers by getting the best the money can buy with the scheme and therefore...

hi, my father is eligible for a warmfront replacement boiler as our 10 year old boiler has packed up. A guy came around from the company that is going to install it and he said he was going to install a Ideal logic 30 (not logic plus) boiler. I have read some worrying things about this...

Yes, thankfully the housing bubble has burst and the rip off prices have gone with it. Back so sensible prices which ordinary people can afford. We are not all plumbers you know!
