Hello, I have removed a carpet and underneath there are broken Marley vinyl floor tiles along the floor edges where previous carpet fitters have nailed gripper rods. What is the best product to fill out the gaps and level the floor before new carpet is fitted. For example would self levelling compou...

The problem is now resolved, my plumber eventually drained and fully flushed and back flushed the system, it took about 5 hours start to finish. The problem appeared to be due to sludge, lots of it, very thick and black. I now have hot water and central heating together and in less than an hour from...

Hi buildingserviceseng, I don't know how the hot water is temperature controlled. I have had a look behind the tank and around the boiler and can't see anything that obviously resembles a valve. I guess if there is one it may be under the floor in the bathroom or behind a tiled reveal in the kitchen...

Thanks Dave, I will give it another go when I get some more time. I am beginning to think there may be some kind of blockage, perhaps sludge and the water found another route back to the header tank. The inlet (upper) union to the coil is extremely hot to the touch and the outlet is quite cool. Dick...

The water rose by about 20 mm but no bubbles appeared although I could see some minute particles. After a full test i...

Thanks for your very detailed description Dave of the possible cause and cure. This follows my own thoughts that there could be an air lock, although not because of air ingress when the pump was changed. The pump failed two weeks ago and the rads went cold but the hot water was back to normal. After...

No Hot Water - Rads OK

Hi There, I hope there is somebody here that can help me. My central heating works fine but my gravity fed hot water system has become rather cold in recent months. The plumber has serviced the Ideal Classic RS 250 boiler in addition to it's annual service last summer, replaced the radiator pump and...
