Thanks again, thought this would be straight forward but looks as if more to it. Will get a professional in.

Thanks for the response chri5,will have to re think

On my wall there is a plug socket, which is good as I want to power my new wall mounted electric fire. What I want to do though is hide the power supply. I should note that there is a bit of a gap behind the skirt board which I have to play with. My plan was to disconnect the wiring to the...

As I push the knitting needle down I feel the blockage. Robiow70 - completely flush out the sytem, open only the blocked valve pipe and re-pressurize?

pipe I can see is plastic, not sure on size but can comfortably push a 6mm knitting needle down.
