Hi, I have a loft that is currently unboarded. The roof has been sprayed with a yellow 'foam' all over which I'm presuming acts as insulation - or is it designed to keep the roof in one piece??? Its 50's house so this could be the case. If it is there for insulation, should I also add...

OK - maybe tomorrow - but nothing's going to blow up tonight though right?

had to tighten it up - at least for now. Hope i don't blow anything up (reassuring words please!) The Ice cream tub was full and spliing over, letting water through the bathroom ceiling. Find a plumber time I guess

Just thought this is a gravity fed system - does that make a differance?

"then you will be able to snatch it live if you buy a 15mm compression new one" Sorry Dave can you explaine further? Cheers

Er, dumb question coming up but here goes.. I have a, what I presume is a PRV, in the loft behind the tank with a red screw cap on top, which itself has a hole like the top of an aerosol. I assume this is a test cap? Can you just confirm that it should be done up hand tight. It doesn't...

Possible. looking at about 150 quid to reactify apparently!

soil pipe looks newish, made of black plastic pipeing. House is 1950's so this must have been replaced and put in like this!

Yes its the only main sole pipe. I'll get a quote to get it above roof level. Thanks for the prompt reply, cheers

I have an external pipe which takes the soil pipes from the bathroom and shower room, combines them into this one pipe and then goes to the mains drainage. The pipe is below the window of the shower room, approx half way up the house. Currently just above the point where it joins both soil...

We should suggest to the magnaclean manufactures that they make the cylinder see through, then the punters could tell the state of the system?

Your giving plumbers a bad name, (if they needed any help in the first place!) Be happy that i'm impressed with the results and the people who did it. For all the horror stories, your profession did a good job for once. Promote it as I have tried to do. The only issue with this forum is...

Had the system power flushed with an inhibitor added. The magnaclean went in the same time and its been cleaned twice now and both times was caked in sludge, (a black watery silt). Easy to clean, just make sure you get all the spanners. Depending on the state of your system of course, but...

Bleed the radiators for good measure and pushed down the red lead fan connectors and unbelievably its worked fine over the weekend. Very quiet now (at least compared to what it was) and all is well. Can it be that easy - just the red wires were loose! Lets hope it stays that way - thanks...

Many thanks all. Its great to have your input. I'll come at this issue with some knowledge now when I find somebody to look at it for me (hopefully un-prompted so will they of course!). Cheers

Hi Ok first post, so be gentle. I've had a good look through previous posts but not seen anything that helps my uneducated eye... I have the above boiler situated in the garage. It supplies 13 rads, normal domestic use. Bit of background first: I used to have an issue that it started...
