Folks, I have just inherited an old jetstreme oil fired boiler with a new house. I've just had the engineer in to give the boiler a winter service, but I have a few questions with regards to what he did. I didn't watch him undertaking the service, but I did talk to him afterwards. He told...

Just a quick question. Do all manual radiator valves have a common interface between the valve body and the valve tail piece? The reason I ask is that I have bought some new valves for a radiator that i'm taking off the wall and then putting back again. Will I be able to screw the new valves...

So is this here chemical descaler and desludger for the central heating as good as they say? Am I right to be concerned at the thought of mobile particulate matter circulating around the heating system? Is there any potential to do more damage than good? I am thinking of giving it a go as I...
