FeFeFace   10 #340 Posted April 4, 2013 Hi All, Just a quick one for someone in the know. Weekend just gone we had a leak, under kitchen floor where one of the speed fit joints had popped off and the central heating water was just jollying out of the pipe into the foundations, well, its all been sorted and heating is back up and running and the offending joint has been replaced. However, since having it sorted, the hot water pressure has gone for a burton and you have to run around in the shower in order to get wet. Its an 'IDEAL' combi boiler and less than two years old. The pressure reading on the gague is about 2 and fluctuates slightly but only a bit. Before the 'incident' with one of speedfits finest joints, the water flow/pressure was perfect and the shower was like a power shower should be. Ive read the user guide and checked all the settings (but they are mainly all dials for temperature and the timer for heating on and off). Any ideas as to why the flow rate has dropped so significantly? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Alcoblog   10 #341 Posted April 4, 2013 Well yeah ... I know I can find loads of plumbers on Google, but I'm looking for one who's reliable and doesn't charge for stuff that doesn't need doing, so recommendations are what I'm looking for.  Basically, my G/F had a new boiler fitted at the beginning of last year (not a cheap one). It worked fine for a while, but now has stopped working after several attempts by the original plumber to fix it, each time charging a lot of money. G/F wouldn't mind so much about the dosh if it had actually been fixed. The plumber in question now doesn't answer his phone.  The boiler heats the water, but the central heating is kaputt. The water pump has been replaced as well as the valves. The boiler is controlled by a wireless thermostat for the heating which I suspect may be the culprit ... having said that, I know little about such matters.  So, basically ... can anyone recommend someone reliable to fix it? (S17 area ... preferably Monday 8th next week)  Thank you ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Duckegg   10 #343 Posted April 4, 2013 Hi  I can highly recommend Sam Lovatt 07909 842848. He is also frequently recommended here on the Trades thread.  He came to sort out a small problem when the weather was awful up here in Crookes and although he could have charged me to replace a valve, he managed to sort out the problem without any cost. His website is ddps.biz.  Duckegg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
footballjack   10 #344 Posted April 4, 2013 Has anyone had a boiler installed by the company - 'a shade greener'? The offer seems brilliant but could do with some reviews. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
JBradleybz   10 #345 Posted April 4, 2013 Which valiant boiler would be best suited to a five bedroom property. 13 rads 1 bathroom Price not as important as looking for best boiler.?  837 should do it easy but i would still rather have the 35 Ideal Logic + but thats just my opinion. Dont do what some do and undersize been to a few jobs in the last few weeks where engineers had gone smaller due to costs and profits, but i like to provide nice extra power for the hot water and showers if fitted cheers jon at JB Heating Services.  ---------- Post added 04-04-2013 at 18:26 ----------  Well yeah ...

I always like to provide the built in ones that match the boilers, extra cash but a better end result cheers jon at JB Heating Services.  ---------- Post added 04-04-2013 at 18:30 ----------  Hi All, Just a quick one for someone in the know.

If its a combi there is no need but thought i would ask just to check cheers jon at JB Heating Services. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

FeFeFace   10 #347 Posted April 4, 2013 Hi, Im not sure if ive replied correctly to your question as im not sure how to use this forum properly yet. I do not believe it was actually no, there are valves on the pipes that supply the boiler that were turned off i think and the boiler was turned off during the pipe fixing activities. Do you think the inlet hasnt been untightened enough? I wouldnt want to start messing with it myself...  ---------- Post added 04-04-2013 at 18:30 ----------  [/color]  Hi can i ask did the stop tap get turned off for a while when your repair was taking place?
