We have an S-Plan unvented central heating/water system with a hot water cylinder. The boiler is set to come on twice daily: Once in the morning at 6:30am-8am (1 hr 30) and once in the evening at 5-7pm (2 hrs). The boiler heats the water and central heating at the same time. I got up the other...

Hi, We moved into our house last year and our current central heating set up is: Boiler: Vokera Mynute HE system boiler Thermostats: 2x Robus RRF10 analogue thermstats (one in hallway and one in master bedroom) Programmer: Anaglogue Flash Immermat Timer Clock. When we came into the house...

Hi, We currently have the Flash Immermat analogue timer and want to replace it with a digital one. The main reason being is that we want to programme the on/off times at different schedules depending on the day. I was thinking of going for the Drayton LP722. Our boiler is a system boiler with...

Hi I need to replicate the floor appearance seen in the pictures below. The previous homeowner said it was a “special oiled surface”, but they couldn’t remember the product. Does anyone know what product this might be: Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I think I will leave white - most of the skirting will be covered by a bed anyway. Last questions and this may sound silly. Are the floorboards in the pic sandable? I was hoping hire a floor and edging sanders and then apply a few coats of varnish. My...

Thanks for the replies. The pics are what the other room looks like which we are trying to replicate. The below pic is what it currently looks like - we've just removed the carpet. Going to hire a floor sander to sand down the floor boards and then apply a few coats of the Ronseal Diamond...

Great. Thanks for the reply. The skirting is wood. But it's been painted white. Would I need to sand off the paint? Or could I just the varnish over it?

Hi I need to replicate the floor appearance seen in the pictures below. Questions that I have: 1) Is this floor varnish or wax? 2) I was going to go with the Ronseal Diamond Hard Floor Varnish. Does anyone know what colour would give the same colour below? I was thinking either Dark Oak...

Email from engineer who carried out the service: Hi Gavin, It’s not just the conveyor that might need to be replaced. I would advise getting the heat exchanger replaced as well due to the corrosion damage. From my experience with that model, your much better off getting Vokera Ireland to carry...

Thanks - I'll get that seen to. Hopefully they won't charge €400 (swear stuff is a lot more expensive here than UK). That is definitely above my skill level. If you're ever in Ireland please call in - can pay you in Guinness.

Boiler service notes: Full service carried out on the boiler on 24/02/2021 The rust staining inside the boiler have gotten larger since the last service. The leak appears to be coming from the back of the heat somewhere (see photos attached). I advised the new owners to contact Vokera Ireland...

Sorry - it was 4.5 originally and I moved to 5. The pic I sent yesterday must've been after I moved it. The previous owners mentioned they turn the thermostats right down in the summer. If that's the case then and what you're saying is right surely there'd be no hot water. Its currently an...

Great - thanks for all your help. I was thinking of going for a Worcester Greenstar 30i System? Any advice/recommendations?

This was the photo the engineer took on service

Thanks for the comments. See his comments on the pic I've turned up the thermostatic valve to 5 and the hot water is ok.

Ok thanks for the replies. 1. Is it worth moving to a combi boiler system? We just got the boiler serviced and the guy advised that the heat exchanger needs changing. Vokera are charging €400. The engineer advised that the boiler isn't the best. And I also saw on which.co.uk that vokera boilers...

Hi, I have recently moved house (to Ireland). I had a pretty simple combi boiler system in the UK. Now I've got this system as per the pics which I don't exactly understand what system I have or how it works. So many taps connected to the pipework - not sure which pipe is for what. The...
