Hi,
Recently had a new heating system and unvented hot-water cylinder installed (conversion from vented with tank). Everything is working fine despite the installation being rushed at times.
The 'main' guy (not the installer) from the company I used (with very good ratings) - can work with...
- Question
flue integrity test failed on a room sealed boiler however not effecting combustion and not leaking into room, would it still be I'd or can it be at risk.
I've got an inset fire which is slightly too big for the opening - the seals can't press against the front.
How can I reduce the opening by a couple of cm either side? I think just mortar/fire cement won't be strong enough as the seals will be pressing against it. The mortar may crack too...
How would you classify this for a LL cert?
I've had a spate of low pressure issues recently.
MWP @ about 17.5mb
Centrica engineers are a special breed but I couldn't take being told again that I was wrong so I asked the last one to prove the pressure was OK. The guy quite confidently passed me his basic u-gauge to confirm my digital one...
If a domestic boiler/gas appliance is in a commercial property, does this mean a gas engineer would need commercial tickets/qualifications?
Has any one come across a backplate elbow start leaking after 5 years because of a crack in it?
I saw on a plumerparts posts comments that the gas engineer always used an inline filter on the gas line to the boiler due to debris.
I’ve just had a new boiler fitted, is it a good idea to ask my installer back and pay for a filter to be installed or a waste of money as the gas isn’t that...
Can anyone tell me of a boiler equivalent to a Glow worm micron 30ff. I am not sure what one I should get?
The flue for a glow worm micron 30ff is apparently obsolete but there must be other flues that would fit it surely, it's just a standard 100mm horizontal flue right?
I mean when a bg gas engineer tells you that you'll have to change the whole boiler as well because you can apparently no longer...
Hi guys
I'm moving to a flat but where the cooker is situated. I can't get a vented extractor fan as it's the same wall as the next door flat.
Are the none vented ones any good ?
Which one should I be looking out for ? Or avoid ?
Any tips will be helpful
My first post here, looking for some advice.
I've just had my boiler replaced with a worcester 4000 combi boiler. The engineer put chemical flush and inhibitor in when filling up, ran the raditors hot and then tested using a strip. And has left both in saying this is safe, and standard...
Hi everyone I currently work in oil and gas industry working in North Sea and further afield operating on high pressure oil and gas plants. This line of work means I have on average 6+ months off a year, im thinking of training to become a domestic gas engineer in my time off to earn a bit extra...

Hi all,
I have recently returned to the industry and have applied to Octopus for the upskill role into air-source heat space installs. Does anyone work for them on here? Just wondered what people's thoughts were on them as a company and if anyone is fitting air source what they think of this...

Has anyone managed to clean the tubes inside the manometer? I have dirt inside mine which has been building up for ages, it could even be mould in it. I'm not sure how to clean it, due to the thin tubes.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Hi all. Just need to clear my head around these changes.
I am guessing we do not need to put in new radiators when just replacing a boiler?
Hi,
I have a problem with Viessmann 111w
I have a Vicare sensor and app.
It goes like this :
If I have a boiler in DHW only everything works as it should, but then I switch it to DHW and heating. Temperature in a room is 21 degrees. I set the boiler to come on when the temperature is 17...
My installation has been classed as Dangerous 'Do not use' by my boiler manufacturer. I have an Ideal Logic 30kw Combi boiler mounted as high as can be on the kitchen wall. Flue exits out through the wall via an elbow but emerges above a flat roof. Unfortunately it's somewhat less than the...
Hi all!
Have recently finished my training and am looking for anyone who would be willing to help me complete my gas engineer portfolio? I did have a mentor but he has ghosted me and have messaged over 70 local people and nobody seems to want to do it! I’m in the Worcestershire area!
Many thanks
