    Preparation for balancing

    Intergas Error Code 8

    My 36/40 combi is giving an error code 8 (fan speed) each morning now it is colder. I assume this happens when OT first calls for heating to be switched on. All I know is I wake up and it's cold! On the milder mornings it seems ok but this could be a red herring as haven't had any for few days...

    Intergas HRE 36/40 pressure

    I have an Intergas HRE 36/40 which I've just turned on the CH side for the winter. Last year I noticed the pressure was always showing inaccutately at zero. Topping up pressure never increased it but did activate the PRV as unknowingly over pressured. Meant to look into it during summer but...

    Splashbacks

    Hi all I need to re-tile splashbacks above worktop in kitchen. However, had to remove blown plaster back to blockwork for about 2m and re-plaster. In fact blown plaster was all the way to ceiling. Guess thinking back now, I should have used the rapid set render available at splashback level...

    Combi/Unvented

    Ok so I need a new boiler. I'm not not sure if I will get away with a combi or if Ill need an unvented cylinder. given my property, I'm guessing most would jump in and say unvented straight away. So you can get a rough idea, the property was once 2 x 3 bedroom semis but is now a 5 bed...

    Hot water issue

    So, I have a gas system boiler(Trianco Optima 28SB) that's in a y-plan set up but rather than heating a cylinder for hot water, it goes through an external plate heat exchanger to act like a combi. Now when the heating is on, and then HW is demanded, HW comes out hot quite quickly. When...

    High pressure heating only

    I have a system boiler that is now plumbed in as a combi using an external PHE. So the flow goes from the boiler into a 3 way valve. One port serves the rads and the other port feeds into the heat exchanger and back to the boiler. Problem I have is when calling for heating, pressure gets as...

    Tanking

    I'm replacing a bath with 1200 x 800 shower. Old tiles are off walls. The wall that is the shorter side of the shower and will have the controls is ply upto about half height. The rest was plasterboard but came off with the tiles. The longer side wall is made of the pink soundproofing board...

    Air in pipework

    Have a DIY heat bank set up which for me works very well(before you bring me down!!) My only issue is there seems to be air bubbles forming in the pipework and being in the loft above my bedroom, makes a noise when I'm trying to sleep. So basically from the boiler I have a flow pipe that...
