Plastic pipe is awful. Looks dreadful under sinks etc. Can't understand why anyone uses it. I can see the advantages e.g a continuous run across an attic or something. I just hate it when you open an airing cupboard and the spaghetti from lash up pump installs hits you.

Look mate. This is a waste of time unless you have good reason for this nonsense. Fill it up with a hose connected to the lowest point or points. So you can drain in a hurry if need be. Most leaks will be small anyway so I wouldn't be concerned. Fill up a bit at a time if you nervous. we put...

If the Op get some of these chancers of a short course he'll end up with a load of quotes for a new boiler... Come to think of it he'll probably get a load of quotes anyway.

Yeah get Ideal out because as soon as you mention Isar everyone else will be busy mate.

If you went to that house would you seriously change the filling loop?

What's the point in this rest fill it up and check.

The guy's clearly a rogue landlord. Stiches the Tennant up with a crap, expensive electric system then encourages them to apply for a freebe. Comes on here to check it out, whilst making out he doesn't want it. He must think we're all daft!!

Let's be clear. The Government doesn't fund this. We do its added to everyone's bill. I think landlords should pay the money back, if they can't a ford to change the boilers.

You'll be fine. dont use silicone on the back. One day you might want to change the screen. Once it's up and you're happy deal up the outside only.

If the rads are small you'll get away with it.

Usually fit the channels on the wall then insert the panel followed by the door. Should be enough play on it to get it in once your happy fix the screws in place and sl up on the outside only.

The screw you talk about should be horizontal or across the pipe to turn off. In line means it's on.

I wouldn't mess around with that. Go and get a fluid master pro fill valve. Comes with a nice brass thread on the bottom. Remove that thing and replace. Use a sponge to get rid of the water in the bottom of the cistern prior to replacing. Check the water is off before you start.

Asbestos tanks are still common place,although never fitted now. Don't worry about it. The ballvalve is easily repaired. Seriously you ought to stop being so concerned, you can get all this sorted over time. When you do get it replaced just drain, disconnect and leave it where it is.

Our firm does mainly private work, we do undertake a small amount of HCRO grant work. The bit that really sticks in my throat is when we fit free boilers to rented property. Landlords don't pay a penny as long as the Tennant qualifies. I've had landlords coming round wanting the earth for free...
