    Gledhill cylinder

    We've got a Gledhill 58x20 indirect cylinder to replace. The replacement Gledhill (1500x500) from Williams is almost twice the cost of the generic vented cylinder. Are they any better than a generic cylinder? Speaking to Gledhill it sounds like it's just the same size equivalent. Isn't...

    Noisy icos

    Hi. Be most grateful for any advice from the learned. I've been to one of these that intermittently cycles with a very loud deep vibrating noise. Sounds respiration based. Does it with the front off also so not flue seals I'm thinking? Doesn't change if I touch/move fan. Flue. Condense clear...

    Circulator replacement

    Got to replace a Grundfos alpha+ . Lots of choice it seems. Any reason to have one over another. Looked at the choice of an alpha 2l. Dab evosta. Wilo Yonos. And the flomasta from screw fix. Which looks exactly llike the Wilo. Thanks Jon

    Hi, Was called to a five storey house converted into flats for a customer who is tanking his ground floor flat and has discovered the gas was run in copper and then buried under his flat. At some points it is just run straight in concrete. There is a need to rerun them all but I can't find...

    Leak sealer is PVA?

    Just put some leak sealer in a system and I'm pretty sure it was just watered down PVA. Maybe it was because it was cheap off the bay? Didn't really fancy spending brand prices if they're all the same. If they're not then what works best?

    Heating zoned on a three port

    Hi. Went to a job where they wanted a new thermostat for the downstairs as it wasn't working properly. Having looked at the controls it was a 2 zone system where they'd used a 3 port to differentiate between them. Bizarre. Anyone seen this before?

    Ideas for fitting a Combi where flue options are limited

    Hi everyone, I have to price a job and I have two options as far as I can see to put in a combi and run the flue. There is a window that takes up the whole of the external wall and so the easiest option for me is for them to take out the window and brick it up enough so I can put a boiler...

    Diy boiler move. Notifiable?

    Meant to say the form seems more set up for catching out dodgy installers than dangerous DIY. I may stand to be corrected it seems.

    My next post was in response to your original post, before it disappeared into the ether. I was curious what you would have done. Shame I hadn't quoted it in the reply. Cheers Jon

    Had contact from HSE officer asking for contact details for the house, whether it was being rented and a copy of the ID. Not sure I'll hear anything else back but would be good to hear what the outcome was. Cheers Jon
