I noticed this problem when I had the heating on and went to wash up, water started warmish and...

Hello guys
I have a Worcester 28i central heating system.

It...

Hi,
I have a boiler that has not been used for about 6 months. The system had been drained until yesterday, when I filled it back up.
I bled all the rads, no problems, no leaks. But when I try to run some hot water or turn on the heating the boiler fires up perfectly, then the pressure...

So can anybody give me a run down on how a microbore...

Please see the attached photos of a leak in a pipe next to my hot water tank. Can this be fixed with a simple drop of sealant (or other DIY method), or does it require professional attention?
I would very much appreciate any qualified plumber's opinions. If it requires profession...

Hi,
Let me start off by saying that I know very little about plumbing, so expect me to struggle a bit with some of the terminology and concepts :)
Now, to my question: I have an unvented hot water system, with an immersion heater, in a small flat. Recently the tenant in that flat reported that...

I have a Vailant ecotec plus boiler. I want to drain the heating system and change all of the radiators. Trouble is it'll take me a while. Can I continue to use the hot water if I drain the heating system?
