cold

I am hoping someone might be able to help offer some wisdom for a very frustrating issue I have please… I renovated my house a few years ago, installed UFH (WarmUp) downstairs and radiators upstairs, with a new Valliant ecoTEC plus 637 boiler. The UFH works beautifully but the upstairs radiators...

Hi My bedrooms and general upstairs is always freezing cold even when heating is on and I'm trying to find what is causing this and what I can do to fix it We moved into this 1960s house, it was very dates and needed a lot of tlc. Last year we replaced all upstairs windows as they were...

Hi. 4 of my downstairs rads won't heat up! There is definitely no air issue and no sludge issue. Upstairs are all good so I've closed them to try and force heat downstairs but no difference. Flow and return at boiler are both red hot. Need advice

I have had this problem for sometime now and people were helpful indeed on a previous post about this last year. I have an open system and 9 radiators in my house and one of them in the living room is proving to be difficult, I get heat at the TRV side but not the other and the whole rad is...

I had a a problem with the Mixer Tap in my Kitchen. The Cold Tap was slipping and wouldn't turn off with a single turn. I fixed this original problem by tightening the screw. This problem with the screw has now returned This time when I tighten the screw It does not stay tight or if it does I...

I have a vertical radiator, not sure of the make but a couple pics are below. Of the five 'panels', the one on the far right stays cold while the others heat up as normal. I have tried bleeding the radiator and only water comes out, seems there is no trapped air. Could getting the radiator...

I noted this morning that the house felt a little cool. I checked and thermostats were still demanding heat, in three downstairs rooms, and I could also detect the underfloor heating pump running (manifold installed inside a stud wall - dont ask I didnt build the house). So I then checked the...

All four walls of our bathroom are tiled using large tiles (one foot long or maybe more). The bathroom was fitted before we moved in and needed an extractor fan to be installed as the room next door was gathering a lot of mould. The person who installed our extractor was really surprised to...

We've moved into a small new build studio flat (5th floor of 7) two weeks ago and noticed that, despite the insulation quality, the flat was still chill. On inspection we realised that the bottom half of the 2 radiators were cold despite the heating system calling for heat constantly from 06:30...

Hi All, So i’m having some works done at the moment and the kitchen/utility etc is all out of action and I urgently need to run some kind of temporary supply , mainly for the washing machine but if I can get something may as well do same for Dishwasher. i’m thinking of sighting them in the...

I have a radiator that heats poorly. I've flushed the radiator, replaced the trv and thermostat and bled the system. Balanced the radiators. I noticed there's a poor flow when I fully open the thermostat fully. It's also really hot to touch at the pipes on the thermostat side but the radiator is...

I'm trying to sort out a builder laying outdoor concrete for a plinth in cold weather, around 0-2oC. Is there an additive e.g. PVA SBR 503, that can be added to allow the concrete to set in 2oC? Thanks

Morning water droplets on the ceiling and high up window Condensation build up in part of the room I have a flat-concrete roof covered in felt And the walls are brick /plaster so no insulation either way internally is there something I can do internally to the walls and ceiling To keep the...

Hi I have turned my radiator valve fully anti-clockwise and the thermostat is also turned on (i.e. set at 30oC), but the radiator is cold at the bottom and lukewarm at the top whilst the flow pipe is stone cold and return pipe is hot. I have a magna filter installed, and an inhibitor was put in...

Hi all, I have these air bricks in the top corners of most of the rooms in my 50's bungalow. All the rooms with them tend to feel really cold, is it as simple as these being the reason? I have never seen them before and dont know if blocking them up would help or whether it would cause damp...

Hello, We have the above shower, used with a combi boiler and has a diverter for use with either the handheld or the drencher, so no boost button. We have developed a problem with the water temperature slowly getting colder and colder, it can now only be described as tepid. I have called...

Good afternoon all, I'm new here and I could use some advice if you'd be so kind please. I'm currently installing the pipework for a central heating system in my house. The only place for a boiler to be installed is in my loft. I've just finished running the heating pipes around my house and...

Hi Installed a Triton digital mixer shower a few weeks ago, its been great. We had cold showers today by choice but now the shower won't warm up. Nothing else has changed, boiler is OK, hot water making it to sink, hot inlet filter is clear. I've powered it off a few times, performed the...

Hi there....Just replaced an old towel radiator with a new one as redecorating but for some reason it refuses to get hot. The rusty old one was working ok. The flow pipe gets nice and hot and the return pipe is stone cold....as is the radiator. Ive bleed each radiator so no air trapped...

I am looking to turn my garage into an area to store books and also a small exercise area. What would people suggest I use to try and 'seal' the existing garage door so that it isn't so cold and will also protect against damp attacking my books? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
