    Trying to source 28mm washer

    That's the correct washer but the rubber version is much better. Readily available any decent plumbers merchant. If your grant boiler is a combi be very careful not to spill water it drips onto board and there easily killed!

    UFH - Is this Installed Correctly?

    I'm not surprised your underfloor struggles to warm rooms. To be clear your underfloor should be switched on 24 hrs a day . You set it to desired temperature then reduce it by maximum of 4°C when room not in use . The lower temperature is the backset temperature. Your room thermostats should...

    UFH - Is this Installed Correctly?

    You really should be addressing you concerns about your underfloor with your installer. You don't operate underfloor on a 'on off basis' you typically need thermostats that let you select a backset temperature, The backset would typically be a maximum of 4°C below desired room temperature...

    Replace Radiator in Kitchen

    Assuming the drops are connected in to part of system that still has enough carrying capacity left no problem. In fact standard stuff just cap non needed drops in loft.

    How to join washer waste onto another existing horizontal waste

    First assuming existing waste is from Bath & basin or basin & shower it's already at full capacity and probably pushing the boundaries of needing to upgraded in size. Add a washing machine and you risk water backing up into lowest outlet in bathroom. Plus you will undoubtedly get gurgling noise...

    Rads heating (a bit) with UFH

    Ufh to y plan with upgrade to s plan

    Use existing pump and 3 - 2 port valves (S plan plus) You would create endless wiring issues with extra heating pump requiring relays ect. In a ideal world cylinder return should be last connection before boiler.
