can't

We have a Alpha Cd25C boiler. The heating went off around 6 weeks ago although we've been able to reset (either by switch or running hot water). We've had a plumber our 5 times and changed Bypass Pump Thermister Cut flue pipe This has not solved the problem. We get heating if we leave the...

Fault seems to be an Orkli VZ-2V in a log burner/buffer tank system.The valve is difficult to access & I can't find info.Is this a 'normally closed'valve(open when powered)?Does switch send 230v from grey wire to orange at end of run?

Hi folks I've ripped and replaced our central heating recently, bar the boiler, mainly fitting Kudox radiators from Screwfix, which are well reviewed. I'd taken advantage of the bundled TRV deal too - mainly Drayton. I've found that 4-5 of the 11 radiators I've fitted have leaked from around...

I need to pressurise my Vaillant ecoTEC plus 618 Boiler, but can't find the filling loop! It's not under the boiler itself... (IMG_1696.jpg) And I'm uncertain about the pipes around the water tank upstairs (see pictures attached) -- can you see anything there? Where do you think it could be?

Hi, My first post. Can't get an old Ariston uv cylinder to drain. Attached drain hose, isolated cold, opened hot tap until it stopped running, opened drain valve, opened temp relief. No water. Swung off temp relief and prv for an hour - won't drain. Opened cold to see if I get a siphon going...

So i dont have MET1 and i was wondering what i won't be able to do by not having it. Does this mean i just can't install or commission meters?

Hey all, looking for a bit of advice from people who have these brands or these particular sets. I am torn between either the ; MAKITA DLX2145TJ 18V 5.0AH LI-ION LXT CORDLESS COMBI DRILL & IMPACT DRIVER TWIN PACK Priced at £299.99 Or MILWAUKEE M18CBLPP2A-402C 18V 4.0AH LI-ION REDLITHIUM...

Hi So it would be fair to say I'm a real novice when it comes to plumbing but I fitted a new sink in the kitchen a couple of weeks ago which went fine until it came to connecting the waste pipes. I've been trying to connect to the existing trap but can't for the life of me find a part that will...

Hi all, I cannot find the valve to repressurise the boiler, bled the rads earlier and the CH has cut off. I've attached the below images, can any body see the correct valve here I've tried a few variations with no success. Thank you

Hi, Central heating looks to be ok on 6 of the 7 radiators in my house (2 floors). Heat flows as expected. But there is a problem with the radiator in the front bedroom, which remains cold (top and bottom of radiator). I've bled it several times and now water comes out straight away so don't...

Been on this bathroom refurb for nearly 3 weeks now and still need a couple more days till done must be getting old cheers all ha ha . Kop

so i've just moved into a new flat. Vokera Compact 25HE boiler. hot water works fine, boiler kicks in as normal when tap is run. however, i can't for the life of me work out how to get the heating working. there is no roomstat in the property. the rads all have their TRVs set to 3 (out of 5)...

Dear forum My problem is I can only turn the central heating off and on by the main switch in the airing cupboard The program timer is Siemens RWB29 it all lights up I have just put in a new cell battery Or do I need a new HSA2 or could it be the thermostat sitting next to the programmer Any...

Hi everyone. I thought this would be a simple job - fixing a leaking kitchen tap. I took the cover off, removed the screw and expected the tap head to come off. I can't figure out how to get it off. The assembly is shown in the photo below. How do I get the tap head off to get at the washer...

I have a valve on the feed/return of the radiator and i cant shut it off. The trv end shuts off but all my radiators have this (as shown in pic) on the other side which i cant isolate with to change radiator. Help please do i need to drain the whole system to remove one radiator?

Evening all First off a big hello from a sparky to all you fellow Plumbers/Gas Engineers out there. I'm not here to say who's better than who and I really do hope you will all show me mercy as I will admit even I have limitations, hence why I am here to ask for help. Basically, I have...

Good evening all. Last job today to repair a leak on a brand new heating system. Is a combi boiler. Drained down. Repaired leak and refilled. Vented and ran system. On 5 of 8 rads getting hot. Tried balancing system and no better. Ran boiler on max. Still 3 stone cold rads. EngIneer before me...

Hello, really hoping someone can help ... We've been losing pressure on our hot water system for about a year now. It worked fine over summer but now winter's kicked in we're having to top up several litres every day to keep the boiler working (it switches itself off after about half an hour...

I just bought a new flat and I can't get the combi boiler to start up. It turns on, and although it is old I have no reason to believe it shouldn't work. I don't want to look like an idiot calling out a plumber for something stupid I don't understand, although I will do if that's what's needed...

Thought I'd post this up
