    Modern Boilers - Not Fit For Purpose??

    Hi all, Wanted to see what you all thought. Went to look at a 3 year old combi boiler (Worcester 28i Greenstar) today. Flue has been installed 100% correctly but still there's condensate leaking out from the horizontal part of the elbow on top of the boiler. Cleary a seal on the internal...

    Can I Run This Commercial Quote Past You Guys??

    Hi all, This is my first commercial quote for fitting a couple of 65KW Worcester GB162s. I went to have a look at the job today and it seems quite a straightforward one to be honest. There are 2x Keston 55KW boilers in there at the moment, side by side in a plant room. Both fed from a 42mm...

    Bit of an unvented puzzle!

    www.dripbusters.co.uk/images/tundish.mov Anyone seen this happening on a Megaflow unvented cylinder tundish before? I serviced it a few days ago as customer was complaining of low hot water pressure, hadn't been done for ages. What they did say though is they are having to regenerate the...

    Powerflushing 60 rad heating system

    Hi all, keen to to get a ballpark figure on what you would charge for this? It's a whole block of a school and they have asked if we can price for doing it next week on half-term. Never priced for a system this size before and want to make sure I don't miss anything out!! Thanks, Keiran.

    Commercial Pricing

    OK, so given the significant cost of getting commercial gas tickets.. How much do you guys charge per hour for commercial gas work? I'd be interested to know how it compares to what you charge for domestic gas work too so I can compare. It's a new market for us as of next month and I honestly...

    CH Issue on new system

    Hi all, Quick question, been out to an odd callback a week ago. Tiny pinging noises in the pipes of a new CH system with system boiler and unvented cylinder. Quiet but noticeable pinging noises all round the house where there's pipes. Definitely not pipes rubbing against anything, we're...

    Keston Boilers

    Are there any particular quirks to these boilers? Heard about them on my ACS Training course but seen my first one today. An existing customer who has moved into a house with them. How reliable are they in general?? Just want to learn a wee bit about the common faults with them before I head...

    What boiler would you fit in your own house?

    As it says folks. Need to fit a new boiler to replace the leaking Potterton piece of rubbish in our new build. What manufacturer do you think makes the best quality system boilers? Ideally wanting something with a long warranty (parts and labour) backed up by good service if it goes wrong...

    Viessmann boilers

    Gents, Popping out to look at a Viessmann Vitodens 100-W boiler where the pressure gauge is slowly dropping over 6 months or so to 0.2 bars or so. The boiler keeps working despite this. Does this boiler have a safety cut-out if the pressure drops below the 0.8 bars the manual says it needs...

    Meter/Pressure Drop Question

    Hi all, I went to look at a job today that has 3 x 28KW boilers plus a DFE fire running on U6 meter. As I understand it, if all appliances are running the meter won't be able to supply gas fast enough right? One of the three boilers is supplied through a secondary meter next to the primary...

    Expansion Vessels

    Quick one folks. I have a spare potable water expansion vessel kicking around our unit. Rather than skip it, I was wondering if I can use it for a sealed CH circuit? I know you can't do it the other way round but my understanding is potable water expansion vessels are built to a better...

    Rough Price Check

    Gents, 13 radiator S-Plan heating system. Gas meter already in the house but no CH system already. Airing cupboard to decommission. New unvented cylinder and boiler going in the attached garage side by side. Appreciate you can't give an accurate price without seeing a job but what would be...

    Drain Unblocking

    Have done more of these this week than the last 3 years combined. Love that resounding 'shlooook' sound when you clear the blockage tbh. Usually accompanies the sound of a cash register going off in my head. Anyone else do these jobs? Do you charge much more than you regular hourly rate for...

    New Financial Year - Labour Price Increases

    Anyone feeling confident enough about the market to put up their prices this year or will you guys be soaking up the inflation for a real terms pay drop?? Intrigued what other companies are doing. I think that our first hour rate will stay the same but the second hour rate will go up £1 per...

    Employee Broken Wrist Outside of Work

    Hi all, One of our tradesmen has broken his wrist outside of work. It's going to be in plaster for a good few weeks now and obviously during this time he isn't going to be able to do any construction work for us! My main concern is ensuring that it heals up ASAP. He wants to come in and get...

    Ideal Boilers Problem

    Hi all, Have an existing customer who have had Ideal out to look at her boiler. They have put her boiler at risk on the basis that the main volt harness has been repaired/new one needed. What does this mean in English please? Presumably it just means the control cables running through the...

    Fair Price For A Quality Job Here??

    Just finished designing the CH system I spoke about before. The house is 520 square metres of floor space over 4 floors. Total heat loss is pretty much bang on 70KW from calculating it so 2x 35KW boilers. 32 radiators. Just around 500sq.m of the house will be heated so 5 heating zones and of...

    Reverse Return CH Piping

    Hi all. Does anyone have a good reference with diagrams that explains how this works? Been asked to quote for a system which will require 2x 35KW System boilers and am wanting to install them both onto the same CH pipework. It will be a 3 zone system in a very large property. Spoken with...
