Durhamplumber- I got a quote for a job and expect it done well. It wasnt' 6k but it wasnt the cheapest either. The radiators are hot now (not balanced though so in the main room it takes 45mins for the rad to get truly hot?!), but if the system hasn't been prepared properly, the chances are that...

Hi.i have paid for the job in full.all I want is a good quality workmanship and peace of mind. I really wanted to put my trust in this guy.but somehow I could not stop thinking about the radiators being missed out from the cleaning process. It's an oldish installation and as far as I understand...

Yes,I would rather avoid the confrontation to be honest. Is checking for cold spots a good way of establishing whether there is sludge at the bottom of the rads?it will take a while until we will be using the heating constantly for a week to do the test on the filter. I have put it on last...

Ps.actually the installation certificate only states that the system has been cleaned in line with some British standard.i assume this is the cold and hot flush?it wasn't mentionedon his quote but I guess it would be done by default for a new boiler installation?

Hi All! Thank you for the responses! The radiators are all old without the fyns but have thermostatic valves.some are single and some double.we have been told that we could get smaller rads that would have the same output and be more efficient but the ones we have are not ancient either so...

I just had a new boiler installed and have a concern over the system flush that has been performed. I had two radiators that were taken off the wall for damp treatment months ago. A few days ago, in preparation for the boiler installation, my husband has installed the wall brackets and we have...
