Hello, can anyone help me please? (apologies for the layman's terms in places, but I hope you can understand what I mean). We had a new radiator installed today by a reputable plumber, as the old one had slush and would no longer heat up. I'm told the existing pipework was also flushed out. It's...

So where to start I moved into a property that had single pane radiators earlier this September. We had some work done on the house and whilst the water was off we had the downstairs radiators upgraded to more efficient radiators. The upstairs remain the same on 15mm pipes and downstairs...

Hello, we have a radiator in our living room and would like to add a second. The photo shows the piping going into and coming out of the radiator. From feeling the order that the pipes heat up I think I’ve figured out the direction of flow which I’ve marked with red arrows. Would this pipe...

Hello forum. I am currently in the middle of a loft conversion in which we are installing a second shower in the new ensuite. I'd be really grateful for advice on what heating system upgrade we require to be able to adequately serve the ensuite shower in the loft while the existing shower is...

Hi, I recently moved into a property and the Neomitis thermostat has absolutely no affect on the boiler, it is sync’d with the receiver and paired but whenever I turn up the heating on the thermostat the boiler does nothing. I have checked the wiring on the receiver and I’m sure this is...

Discovered, on getting an engineer in to fix what I'd thought was probably a minor fault preventing the boiler from working, that it has had to be condemned (and yes, justifiably - you should see the insides! Ye gods ...). The house (probably 1000-odd sq. ft.) is a fairly typical 3-bed layout...

Hi All, I appreciate there are numerous similar posts but I'm look for clarification to judge whether I should try to replace radiator or have a plumber come out. I have an Ideal Logic Heat 12 boiler and Tribune HE cylinder, circuit for hot water and 2 circuits for heating as I understand it...
