Thanks, i reckon i can get teh feed in the hall down to 4 meters on 8mm and the return will be just under 6, which should see an improvement once i have rebalanced the system again.

Thanks for the replies guys. The rad in the hall is quite large, from memory about 1700mm X 600mm which is why i think that its the length of the pipe work, as i have already balanced the system. Would love to repipe and replace all the microbore with 15mm as it is a far better way (to my...

I am currently undertaking some work installing a new radiator and refitting pipe work after some building works. i have a microbore system, a mixture of 8mm and 10 mm all fed from 22mm pipes. Now there doesnt seem to be any logic in the way the pipes were connected. Upstairs is all fine, but...

Thanks - insulation is taken care of, have already got that sorted.

Hi, Quick question for you experts. I am in the process of converting the attached garage to a dining room. the floor is concrete with dpc and dpc on the wall about 200mm up. I am planning to lay 4x2 with 18mm chipboard at the same leve as the floors in the house. Do i need to lay a DPC...

Thanks, had a look at the weekend and i see that when the hot water tap is turned on, unless it is fully opened then it doesnt trip the microswitch, so i guess i am right. Looking at costs, i can get a new divertor valve for £40 as opposed to a diapraghm kit, containing 4 , for £33. so will...

I assume that i am on the right track with the divertor valve??? Anyone???

I have the above boiler and yesterday when i turned on the hot tap no hot water came out. if i turn the tap to fully open then the boiler fires up for a short period of time but because of the flow rate the water only warms up slightly. When the central heating is on i can get hot water...
