    Rattling pipework and radiators

    Hi. I have had this noise for 5 years and have had a plumber check it out and he said it could be a bit of solder in a pipe thats rattling and is impossible to find. I gave up getting the noise fixed and have lived with it. A quick run down of what happens is when the thermostat kicks in and...

    Radiators with small brackets

    I need to fit a couple of radiators in a property. The only issue being the skirting is about 400mm high and don't want the radiators looking ridiculously high. They don't want the skirting cut to accept the brackets. So the question is, what brand of standard radiators have brackets highest up...

    Cold radiators in loft

    Hi, I've have a problem with my CH system for around 18 months now and it's time to get it sorted. Here's a diagram showing our current heating system: The house is 21 years old and the loft extension was performed around 15 years ago. As you can see they simply extended the existing 15mm...

    Drain down central heating and refill with radiators off

    Hi, I have probably done a silly thing here so need some advice. I drained down the central heating system with a hose pipe from the drain off on the radiator closest to the door. No problems. Then I removed 3 radiators as we had the decorators in for a few weeks. As the decorators...

    Radiators heating up on DHW setting

    Since replacing the expansion vessel on our Viessman 333 gas boiler, we've experienced a major problem. When we want hot water only,(DHW) setting, the radiators are being activated! Obvious solution may be with the 3 way port, but the complete heating system is now automatically switching itself...

    Advice on flow to radiators after new boiler

    Hi All, I am looking for a bit of advice. I am not a plumber, just a DIYer who has been doing his own plumbing for more than 40 years. I understand how central heating works with flow and return but have a bit of a potential issue which I want to discuss. Bit of background first. I had a...

    Boiler with no radiators

    Hi, Is it ok, after draining the system and removing all but one radiator to turn on the combi boiler, in order to get hot water, until new radiators are installed? I've left the pressure at 0 so haven't filled up the system and have put capnuts on each TRV side just in case. (Couldn't get...

    Just heard Barco radiators went bust. Wolseley said that all their stocked items (inc. special orders like designer rads) were zeroed off their system and they weren't allowed to sell them. Just so you know. J

    Radiator TRV 15mm but radiators 22mm??

    hello, not a problem I’ve thought about before, but having an achp fitted so I need the maximum flow and return volume. However I find I can’t get 22mm TRV/ emitter valves only the standard 15mm. This seems bizarre due to the standard emitter Inlet/ outlet bore size. Will this cause much of a...

    Radiators boiling but no hot water from taps

    We have a coal fired Parkray room heater, running 6 radiators. They are all red hot but there's no hot water from the tap. What should I do? I'm quite nervous about the back boiler blowing up.

    'Radiatoroutlet.co.uk' column radiators?

    Has any of you had experience of 'radiatoroutlets.co.uk' column radiators? The advertised output BTU are impressively high. I asked them and they said they are rated at T50 which sounds better again. It would be good to get some independent reviews/experiences?
