    Cold Radiator in Bedroom

    My daughter has gas central heating supplied via a Boilermate 2000. In recent months she has found that a radiator in one bedroom does not heat up. The system is about 14 years old and has 8 or maybe 10mm pipe work and there is a TRV on one side of the rad. Would someone kindly spell out what...

    Thermal Stores for domestic hot water.

    Am not keen on the idea of an unvented cylinder. Additional hazards I understand. Do unvented cylinder systems have to have an annual inspection or does this only apply to rented properties?

    Boilermate 2000 Gas Boiler noisey.

    Reading Gledhill' s Installation & Service Instructions I gather a two channel programmer can be installed in place of the time clock with minor adjustment of the Boilermate wiring. This, I understand, would enable the boiler to be shut down as required and stop the central heating pump from...

    Boilermate 2000 Gas Boiler noisey.

    My daughter has recently moved to a 2 bed house built in 2003. It has gas central heating with a Glowworm 18 hxi condenser boiler and a BoilerMate 2000. She is complaining that the noisy gas boiler wakes her up in the night when it cuts in. I am learning about BoilerMates from the web where...

    BoilerMate 2000

    Was speaking to an experienced plumber today. He was quite supportive of BoilerMates. He emphasized something that has been said earlier which is, the heat exchanger will not stand hard water. He also said that if there is restricted headroom and the make up tank is on top, working on an inlet...

    BoilerMate 2000

    Clearly, if my daughters house purchase goes through, the boiler and Boiler Mate will need a good inspection and probably a service to see if they are still working as they should. The information about the boiler size i.e boiler plus boiler mate v. combi is very useful as is the point about...

    BoilerMate 2000

    Thanks all. One matter that occurs to me. If the boiler has to be left switched on for 24/7 and presumably cycles on and off to keep the heat store up to temperature, will this not result in more wear and tear on the boiler together with higher gas bills due to heat loss? If so, it seems to go...

    BoilerMate 2000

    Thanks for the link steve. At least if my daughter buys the house I might be able to tell her what the BoilerMate should do.

    BoilerMate 2000

    True. A different estate agent, who sold the house two years ago simply described it as a GlowWorm boiler

    BoilerMate 2000

    No, I am not sure at all. If you tell me they would not have installed a combi with a Boiler Mate then I will accept what you say. However, the estate agents description says it it a combination boiler.

    BoilerMate 2000

    My daughter has had an offer accepted on a house that is about 12 years old. The house has a gas boiler, a combi boiler I think though I have not seen it myself. However, in a cupboard on the first floor there is what is called a Boiler Mate 2000 tank of some description. I understand it works...

    ceramic disc cartridge removal

    I have a monobloc kitchen tap with separate hot and cold water ceramic disc cartridges. The H.W side drips. I tries to unscrew the recessed cartridge this evening, using a box spanner I bought for the, job but it won't budge. My wife had to hold the body/spout of the tap while I levered on the...

    Kitchen tap identification

    I have a kitchen tap described in the MFI installation list as a Hi-tech monobloc chrome. I think that description covers a variety of makes. Anyway, it was installed about 4 years ago, or not long before MFI went out of business. Now the ceramic disc valve on the H.W side drips. I had every...

    Whistling noises in early hours

    My daughter's toilet cistern has started to whistle when it is full. The syphon system is about 18 months old and is rather a fancy one the shuts off with a thump after flushing. I put the whistle down to water pressure on the inlet valve which is fed at mains pressure, not from a cold water...

    Scalemaster Magnetic Scale Inhibitor

    Reg Man, thank you for your interest and suggestion. If I thought the manufacturer would be interested I would certainly take it further. However, as I was wanted to know how the item was put together I prised off the end with the blade of a screwdriver starting at a small gap where the leak had...

    Just over two years ago my daughter had a new combi boiler fitted. At the same time a Scalemaster speedfit magnetic scale inhibitor was fitted to the boiler cold water inlet pipe. On Sunday my daughter woke to find her kitchen flooded. After turning the house water supply at the stopcock she...

    toilet cistern

    Thanks mickie for your quick reply. I was in the process of changing the large washer and the piston fell into the toilet basin leaving me to guess which way it should go back. Now I know.
