I have a pressure leak on my CH system. Our piping is buried in the walls (maybe a mistake) and the room-to-room pipes are now covered by flooring making it difficult to detect any leaks if there is no yellowing happening on the ceilings below.
We have noticed that we need to top up the system...

Hey guys. What’s the easiest way of determining that a 2 port motor has failed? I know that if the stat is calling and the arm is set to open on the valve and the actuator is ok it will fire. Is it purely a case of checking whether 240v is at the brown and orange when heat is called for? Any...

Cheers in advance

I currently work on new builds with very limited work on the repair, maintenance and fault finding side of boilers. I’m currently renewing my ccn1 and cenwat gas card as I type this and it has made me very interested in getting into this line of work or even have a better understanding of...
I am having problems finding a thermostat for my radiator. The radiator is a Purmo radiator and is about 15 years old. I have tried two replacements but none have fitted.
Hi guys. I’m still very new to boiler fault finding but was wondering whether you could advise me on a particular multimeter or tester that would help with fault finding? The wife has been a good one and got me a Martindale ET5 open jaw tester but I’m unsure whether they’re any good? I can’t...

I've been at this for a while now and am not finding myself to be as settled as I think I should.
When I first took the leap into 'selfemploydom' I thought I was going to TAKE OVER THE WORLD (as many probably do).
But 6 years on and I find myself like a Swan floating about while frantically...
There seems to be a big shortage of duel flow kitchen taps, I know the trend is towards combis but there is still a lot of flats/bungalows with poor hot water pressure which means you need a duel flow tap.
Any one got a good supplier of them?
Thanks
In order to find out the order in which radiators in the house heat up, would be possible to time the point at which heat is detected through either the flow or ruturn pipe on the radiator?
