Hi all - my prospective house I am buyig has been split effectively into two parts with Boiler 1 provided Heat/Water to the first few floors and Boiler 2 providing Heat/Water to the top floors. So two separate Primary and Secondary Circuits.
Is there a Smart system that would enable unified...
After being woken up a few times by clicking pipework when heating not on looked at setup in boilerhouse. Trying to figure out why there are 2 stats in there. One is Honeywell L641B1004 on flow pipe from boiler other is a Honeywell frost stat, model unknown but lowest setting is 5degC, set at 5...
Hi all,
We recently purchased a house and nothing seems to work correctly here, I've spent weeks rectifying issues. Plumbing, electrical, carpentry it's been never ending. The house was built by Barratt Homes in the year 2000, it is a 3 bedroom house called a Palmerston, the CH/HW system is a Y...

Moved in to bungalow recently and 1 radiator is cold. All the others get really hot when turned on. Gas system boiler, header tank in loft.
I tried balancing, turning off other radiators, increasing pump speed, but best I could get at high pump speed is a tiny bit of heat in radiator, barely...

Hey all,
I'm hoping someone might have some unique ideas for me.
The Issue
We live in a house built in the 1600s. The plumbing has obviously been added to over time.
Occasionally, we get a sewage smell from our kitchen sink (when the dishwasher first runs), our upstairs ensuite sink/show...
Pardon my lack of explanation skills, I would try to summarise and make it comprehensive as much as I can. I hope someone can help or advice.
I have a CH system with a combi boiler and a bypass radiator in the hallway.
However the problem is the house is quite cold. I am in an end of terrace...
Hi, my name is Michele. I am a mother, grandmother, widow, and a hard worker. Now that I'm on my own, I find all this home upkeep really challenging. Can't really call myself a DIY er, though I would like to be😏!I don't have much experience with home projects, not much confidence, and can't...
So I've changed pedistall toilet for a wall hung Abacus toilet in my WC.
The water connection is what I'm worried about as the two builders have different skillsets.
The washing machine waste pipe in the next room also comes through the wall to the toilet waste (you'll see in the pic but this...
Hi - I'm a homeowner, not a DIY person.
My 20 year old Gloworm boiler needs replacing.
British Gas quote is ok at £6100 for a 24kw replacement -valiant ecofit 625 system boiler. The tank/heat exchanger and copper pipework bring the price up.
OK so I object (rightly or wrongly) for the extra...
I'm building a new house and I have no idea what option to chose for heating/hot water! I've looked at biomass/pellet boilers, electric combi boilers, air source heat pumps and solar panels(combined with an electric boiler) After doing a lot of research (and not understanding some of the...
Hi all....my first post.....talked my daughter into seeing about a new modern gas boiler to replace to very old one she has now.
Its the type that has a separate electric water heater....parts are very hard to find for it.
She has had a few prices and one guy said she needs a Worcester 32Cdi...
Hi,,
I'm looking for recommendations for a combi to supply a two bedroom house with one bathroom and a kitchen. The boiler must fit inside a standard kitchen cupboard and have an option to have the pipework up the back of the boiler to minimize pipework on show beneath, thanks.
We have just moved into a steel framed house and we are replacing the old copper system with push fit. Our fourth bedroom has a steel beam running outside the room door and going straight along. The wall is a load bearing brick wall seated on top of it.
We have laid our pipes under the floor...
Hi, We live in a bungalow. We are awaiting a plumber to check for water hammer but not sure if there are other things that may be causing the noises in our property. There is a booming noise about every 10 seconds followed by an echo. It starts at random times during the day and continues well...
Hi. I have seen a house I'd like to buy but on the 2 occasions I have viewed it there has been a strong smell of sewage as i have walked in, and it's in the kitchen too. It's a 1996 built 2 bed house converted into 3 bed with only one bathroom which is on the 1st floor. The 1st floor doesn't...
Having issues with water hammer, I have a megaflo with balanced hot / cold using a heat stadia 3 bar prv, this seems ok as getting 3 bar at taps with test gauge, the outside tap is between the house incoming stop valve and the 3 bar PRV and that is showing just over 4.5 bar. If I switch a hot...
