It's leaking into the porch rather than the house. There is T&G on the porch roof so I can only see the water running through the timber edging between the porch ceiling & outside house wall. It doesn't always leak when it rains, so I'm assuming it's the direction the rain falls. Could I...

I don’t know if there is still a guarantee on the roof, would Sarnafil know? I only moved in 2 years ago. No mention of a cavity tray by either roofer. Bobasd; the roof is in quite good condition with no Visible seals broken. The gunk looks like original sealant rather than to cover a...

Hi there, I’m getting water leaking in through where my flat roof meets the house wall. It is a sarnafil roof coating with an upstand at the house wall with cement as a seal between the two. I’m getting conflicting views from two different roofers. One wants to take out the cement and seal...

Thanks muggles. The gas safe website says the registration certificate doesn't apply in Scotland, with a link to the Scottish Exec website, which is no use at all. Is there any Scottish fitters who can advise what the situ if fir Scotland. I have a signed benchmark book and Worcestee warranty...

Thanks muggles. The benchmark book was filled out and signed by the installer and I have the guarantee from Worcester. I didn't know the boiler had to be registered with gas safe. Is this the same in Scotland and what should I have received? Cheers Fluff

The company is gas safe registered but only for one of his staff. I'm assuming he normally give the Gas works to the lad. The owner did a great job in general, with the exception of the minor issues we have. I haven't mentioned to Worcester that he is not GSR personally as I don't want to...

hi guys We got a Worcester boiler and rads fitted last year. Having issues with the install that have still not been fixed since May, that's another story. I have contacted Worcester for advice on their accredited fitter about the repairs and checked gas safe. He is not registered with gas...

I have no idea what you are talking about John d, so I will defer to the experts on this forum. Not sure if this is important but we have about 1/2 of the heated towel rail full of air. It is at the top of the house with no vent plug so we need to get the plumber to fit one. Will this air...

Thanks for the reply. I didn't realise that 0.5 bar would equate to 3l of water. We are assuming no leaks in the upstairs as there are no water marks. Other than ripping up 8x4' sheets of nailed down chipboard, we don't have access under the bottom floor. What are the consequences if we...

Anyone?

Hi everyone, just a quick update. We have checked all joints we can get access to. 2 joints that the plumber created have a slight weep, not even a drip. Just a small bit if dampness on a bit of blue roll. all other joints that we can access (originals and from recent works) are dry. 1) could...

The Worcester website definitely says 1.0-1.5 when cold. The guage drops slightly when the heating comes on then slowly rises to just over 1.5 (i think so don't quote me as I haven't really looked to closely) Cheers

Ok, the pressure is normally at 1.5. What increments should we check at? 1.5, 1.7, 2.0, 2.2 I dont think i want risk going near 2.5 as above 2.5 is red on the pressure guage (Worcester Bosch boiler). Thanks again for your patience.

Thanks dilalio. I'm an amateur so by charging up, do you mean put the pressure up to 2.5 bar cold then check pipework? Cheers fluff

I intent to speak with the installer as there are a couple of separate minor issues. It would be helpful if I knew what actions i can safely do now ourselves and what I can ask the installer to try if we can't find the leak: 1. Can we put the boiler up to 2.5bar when cold & boiler switched off...

Ok got some pics of the HWST, hope they ate what you're looking for. I have no idea how old the tank is but the last picture below is of the pipe coming out the front bottom of the tank and the exposed metal in the hole has some rust on it (it's in an Unheated attic though). The pipe from the...
