Went to a property today to do a Landlords safety check, Check all 3 appliances, all working safe.
I then did a tightness test and found there was a droop in pressure, it was within tolerance, less than 4mb over 2 mins with 3 existing appliances connected. I then decided to check to see if it...
I have a vertical radiator with connection at the bottom. The installateur did not install it like agreed: pipes are coming from the floor and I wanted the fitting in the wall. They do not want to do that and they left. Other companies now ask fortune to do this for me.
My question is how...
Hi,
Im installing a bathroom and the shower i have selected will need to have a pump installed to provide sufficient pressure. I have purchased a Stuart Turner 2.0 bar monsoon pump. I plan to cite this in the airing cupboard.
We have a traditional vented hot water system with cold water...
Hi all. Usual thing, existing floor standing gas boiler is pumped for CH and running into a 28mm cylinder coil for DHW.
I am planning on capping off the CH flow and return at the boiler and converting the system into a y-plan fully pumped system.
Question for all. I realise the pipework is...
Hi,
Im just embarking on a house refurbishment of a property I have bought. The house is a 1960's 3600sqft and has 6 beds, 3 baths and 2 kitchens over 4 floors.
I plan to have the hot air heating system decommissioned and have new wet underfloor heating installed throughout. Its likely that I...
Hi all,

We have had to have our flooring removed as we had a water leak for some time unknown to us and the joists/floorboards started rotting.
We have had somebody come out and remove the...

Existing chimney flue versus recommended flue liners
How do I know if the draw on my existing chimney flue is good enough for a multifuel woodburning stove, so that I do not need to install a flue liner.
Let's say the smoke test has been performed and no leakages have been detected.
Let's say...
Hi guys,
Sorry to have to ask this one, especially when I have done it previously on a number of occasions. But, is it okay to simply tap into existing feed and return circuits on heating system for the additional radiator?
I know that the boiler is capable of coping with the extra demand, and...
a landlord is going to do an extension, therefore would like to relocate a boiler, the boiler is only 3 years old so he wants to keep it, so if i do the job, shall i submit the job to gas safe? cheers
I am replacing the existing power-flued gas fire in my lounge with a balanced flue gas fire. The existing fire and external fan have already been removed. What would I expect to pay for the installation of the new fire? I live Berkshire.

Your opinions, please.
I was taught that when fitting a new appliance it is permissible to leave a pressure drop unrectified as long as it existed before you fitted the appliance.
So, if you have a 1mb drop across existing pipework to an appliance, and after fitting a new appliance it is...

Hi All,
Some of you may know I run my own company. The one I did my apprenticeship is coming up for sale in the next few weeks as the gaffer is now coming upto his 70th birthday and has no family to pass the business down to.
The business itself is turning over about £700,000 last financial...
Bit of a problem. Customer wishes to upgrade Potterton Flamingo for a Worcester Combi.
She has a Salamander pearl 70 twin shower pump. I've highlighted the issue regarding water flow and that it may not be possible to achieve as good a flow with a combi. Didn't have a flow cup so couldn't...
Does anyone fit a lot of combis to old open vented systems and can they provide a copy of their 'waiver' in respect of 'Our price will not include the repairs that maybe required to the existing system with the increased pressure, etc, etc....'
Thanks chaps.
