Don’t worry it’s been a while and I’m all sorted now but thanks anyway.

The key would turn fine, so I think the problem was the lock. It would open fine from the inside as the lock handle would be turned to open the door, but when pulling the door shut from the outside, it appeared that you had to slam the door to shut it properly. It's a comparatively a new...

Thanks. Will do.

Hi. I’ve used WD40 on my daughter’s front door lock (sprayed inside the lock from the side, not through key slot) as it was stiff to close (new composite front door about one year old). It’s easier to close now but I’ve just heard WD40 should not be used. I’ve only done it once. Does anyone...

Does anyone here have any experience of fitting Ideal Halo thermostats ?

Many thanks everyone. I’m all done for now. Great suggestions though.

Will do, many thanks for the info.

Hi. I can see 22mm under the kitchen sink then going to 15mm. I cannot see bathrooms as all pipes hidden but probably 15mm. My incoming main (downstairs cupboard) is 15mm with a 22mm gas supply. The plumber has tested the water pressure with an outside tap to be 4 mbar and around 18 flow. Will...

Hi, My plumber is looking to fit an Ideal Logic Max Heat only boiler which will be supplied by the mains with unvented hot water cylinder and expansion tanks. He said that my water mains pipe is around 15mm and would prefer 22mm, he said he would fit 22mm where he can. Would incoming15mm main...

Our existing boiler is a glow worm 24hx We have around 14 rads and water underfloor heating in one room.

Hi, I have around 14 radiators. The plumber said there would be less pipework needed (fewer walls to damage) if he changed my existing heat only boiler for another heat only one. Thanks for the info.

I will probably end up with a hot water cylinder and two expansion tanks to make things simpler. Good to know though. Thanks.

Thank you for the info.

Hi I'm obtaining a few quotes from different local plumbers. Do I need an expansion tank for the heating if the hot water cylinder has internal expansion and does not require one ? I’m looking at having an Ideal Logic Max Heat only 24kw boiler fitted to replace my existing one and a Halo...

Hi. Many thanks for the info. Our house is a chalet bungalow so it has a ground floor and a first floor. The boiler is on the ground floor, with a hot water cylinder on the first floor and water/expansion tanks in a small loft above the first floor. We have three showers and no bath. Generally...

Many thanks.

Ok thanks, someone in another post said there were better makes around with more control. I see what you mean, though. Thanks again.

Many thanks for the info. I was just wondering if Ideal boilers were reliable or any other make is better. My plumber said he fits Ideal boilers. I’m also looking at using their Halo WiFi thermostat.

Thanks, here is some more info. I currently have a Glow Worm Flexicom 24hx condensing boiler (13 years old) on the ground floor and a water tank and vented expansion tank in the loft. My home is a detached chalet style bungalow, ground floor and first floor with a small loft area above. It...

Hi Does anyone have any experience of the Ideal Logic Max Heat or the Ideal Logic+ Heat boilers. My plumber says he fits Ideal and needs to be a Heat only one due to less pipe work changes needed ? Any advice appreciated, thanks.
