I would like to add an additional radiator to our central heating system.
We have an attached double garage converted to a man-cave and workshop (with dividing stud partition wall) currently not covered by the central heating.
The former is not currently user friendly in winter, and we get by...
Morning all, as always can never find an exact existing thread / discussion where I don't feel like I'm making one too many assumptions.
Can I get a quick sense check on the below, always wanting to work 1 step ahead, eventually planning to add an en-suite to my existing loft conversion. Got...
I have NuHeat UFH system, and this has no Thermostatic Blending valve on the heating circuit. (Heat Master II cylinder has pick up coil)
Nu-Heat System installed -
This means I can't run store above 60C due to risk of overheating UFH pipes.
I want to add a Thermostatic Mixing valve so have...
Hi, I'm installing a new radiator and just getting round to adding the tails. The one with the heat control went on ok but the other made a single crack on tightening up the tail. Should I be less worried about this than I currenly am? I'm thinking its more likely to be the metal casing rather...

We're in the process of a kitchen extension - old kitchen was a smaller extension which was demolished and building a new one.

I have a new Firebird Silver Boiler House model oil fired room heat only. I note in the manual all other models in this range have pump over- run connections. But not mine:
The circulator pump is wired with the boiler. So when a zone valve opens the boiler and pump both get 240v.
Could a...
Hi all, new owner here looking for advice ...
There is a Grant Euroflame 70/90 oil-fired boiler with two pumps but no motorised valves. I assume one pump is CH and the other for DHW, so the valves are not needed. There is a cylinder stat and a Sangamo Choice PR2 two-channel programmer wired to...
Hi folks,
I have had issues with the central heating plumbing leaking, in this (very old) house, over the last 4 or 5 years since I moved in. I know a plumber who added Fernox sealant and after this failed to work, Corgi sealant to the system, which stopped the pressure from dropping for a...

Hi, I have a two-pipe fully pumped S plan open vented system.
When I drained it last time, I had the impression there is some sludge or dirt around it. I therefore am going to drain it again to install a magnetic filter.
I was thinking of taking this chance to add a tee on the feed pipe (the...
