    Bricking up window

    Morning! I've just pulled out a window with the view to brick it up. I've got a couple of questions, I hope somebody can help me with. Do I need wall ties between the two leaves? The window is 1m sq, so not very big Secondly, I've discovered there's no insulation in the cavity. It's only a...

    Extending soil pipe

    Hey guys...I've run into a problem with regards to moving my toilet in a downstairs bathroom. I was going to dig out the existing soil pipe, cut back and couple a straight piece on to the existing in order to move the loo. Unfortunately the pipe is too close to the wall and I can't cut it back...

    Relocating toilet

    Morning guys I'm just pulling out our old downstairs bathroom and digging out a channel to extend the soil pipe so we can relocate the toilet. Seems like a straightforward job... however, I didn't realise that the soil pipe enters the building under the dpm. My plan was to dig down to the...

    Advice needed - zone valves

    Well, I hope you had a good night :) Yes, they are all independent. I'll draw up a schematic later and post it up

    Advice needed - zone valves

    The wiring centres can switch with 240volt or 0volt, depending on the application. Each room has got its own thermostat. When the stat calls for heat, the wiring centre will activate the appropriate actuator and call for heat from the boiler at the same time. So in effect each room is its own...

    Advice needed - zone valves

    Yep, there's a wiring centre for each manifold. Each one can call to heat from the combi individually They've provided standard wiring/plumbing schematics, but not any that fit the dual manifold system I've got I asked for some earlier this morning, but aside from being told that each...

    Advice needed - zone valves

    They're Heatmax ones, but think that these are rebranded from something else...will have a look at them when I get home

    Advice needed - zone valves

    Thanks, that's exactly what I thought, but wasn't sure if there was something I hadn't thought of!

    Advice needed - zone valves

    I'm in the middle of installing a new heating system in our house. The setup is 4 port manifold upstairs feeding the 4 upstairs rads, all controlled with heatmiser neostats. Downstairs is another 4 port mixer manifold feeding 4 UFH zones, again controlled with heatmiser neostats. The...

    15mm pipe in 22mm flow/return

    Oh, sorry it's not this section that he said couldn't be done in copper. It was another section that was all done in plastic due to space restrictions. The boss has been in himself and resolved the 15mm pipe issue, and added a couple of drains that were missing also. Still waiting for the bill...

    15mm pipe in 22mm flow/return

    I've just spoken to him, and he's coming back to rectify it. I haven't mentioned the mess yet, but will do. Also have to negotiate on his original quote, as he said he was going to do it all in copper, but when he came in this morning, he said it was too much work for a tight section and would...

    15mm pipe in 22mm flow/return

    No, I won't. I haven't paid them yet, so will get them back in to do it properly. I'm not paying twice for someone's shoddy work. Could redo that bit myself, but again, besides the point. It should've been done right the first time

    15mm pipe in 22mm flow/return

    Aside from that, they've also left a right mess. Left solder underneath the joins on the carpet, and melted the carpet too from dripped solder. It's only the carpet in the back of the airing cupboard, but that's beside the point.

    15mm pipe in 22mm flow/return

    Thanks Doggit System is 4xUFH loops, total of 55sqm a towel rail and twin rad from one manifold, and 4x rads off the second manifold. So the flow/return has to service all of this. I agree, it does seem lazy work. I do as much of the work at home as I can, but the gear I needed to buy to drill...

    15mm pipe in 22mm flow/return

    Hi all I had a plumber in today to run the flow/return to my two manifolds. One for UFH, and the other for upstairs rads. When we had the boiler installed a few months back, the original plumber left a couple of tails to run to the UFH manifold which I told him I was installing later. For some...
