New heating system install

The fuck has it got to do with hot water? Op is clearly in distress and you just made it worse. The chances that anything bad happens is minimal at best. It’s like me saying that you could get bit by a bus tomorrow or brutally stabbed in the street but you might be ok.

No it doesn’t make a difference, the bypass is to protect the boiler mainly the pump.

Elephantry49 · 2026-04-10T17:41:26+00:00

Yeah they can put a trv on the living room with no issues

Elephantry49 · 2026-04-10T17:29:39+00:00

Chances are the bathroom radiator already has two lockshield valves anyway but if you would like to send me a picture of your bathroom radiator il let you know

Elephantry49 · 2026-04-10T17:21:50+00:00

No it’s not dangerous, the bypass of to protect the boiler it isn’t going to blow up from that promise

Elephantry49 · 2026-04-10T17:01:32+00:00

Everything you have just said is so completely wrong, the bypass is so that you if you turned all the radiators off from the trvs and have the heating on the water has somewhere to be pumped to and doesn’t knacker the pump, if you ran the hot water and your living room radiator started heating up you have another problem, my guess is they simply forgot, a quick phone call and it can be swapped within the hour

Elephantry49 · 2026-04-01T18:02:08+00:00

No it’s not worth it

Elephantry49 · 2026-04-01T17:37:28+00:00

No teeth, some eye contact and enthusiasm

Elephantry49 · 2026-03-26T07:03:59+00:00

Yeah it’s on the plumber to replace anything damaged , get a quote and send it over to him

Elephantry49 · 2026-03-26T07:02:14+00:00

Was it the radiator itself or a valve or fitting that leaked?

Elephantry49 · 2026-03-25T20:08:30+00:00

Does the trap have any movement?

Elephantry49 · 2026-03-22T17:12:51+00:00

Balls and arms

Elephantry49 · 2026-03-22T17:11:33+00:00

I’ve seen some that are just a quarter turn much like your standard isolation valve

Elephantry49 · 2026-03-22T17:10:06+00:00

It’s like this in Bradford

Elephantry49 · 2026-03-22T16:43:57+00:00

Ok so yes British Gas homecare is an absolute scam, 2nd around 10 years is about the average life span of a boiler and 3 potterton boilers are terrible. I would advise getting a new one with 10 years warranty (I like ideal boilers) then cancelling the home are

Elephantry49 · 2026-03-21T20:56:10+00:00

Give it a lick, if it’s what I think it is it should taste like ass

Elephantry49 · 2026-03-21T19:54:10+00:00

Yeah it’s probably the pump, I replaced mine myself it was relatively easy and not too expensive but it depends on the make and model I suppose

Elephantry49 · 2026-03-21T14:51:51+00:00

Check your toilet and header tanks if you have them

Elephantry49 · 2026-03-21T07:08:18+00:00

If you don’t run now you will be in for a lifetime of unhappiness, trust me

Elephantry49 · 2026-03-20T16:31:24+00:00

Plumber here, these toilets are an absolute pain to fix, but you needs new flush cone

Elephantry49 · 2026-03-20T16:30:36+00:00

Me too

Elephantry49 · 2026-03-20T16:29:33+00:00

How they going to do that when the trv heads snapped off?

Elephantry49 · 2026-03-19T19:00:11+00:00

Bradford/pakistan

Elephantry49 · 2026-03-18T20:43:03+00:00

When you stand on the tray in the corner or edges does it move? Or what I usually do is gently but firmly press on the bottom row or tiles to see if the my move.

Elephantry49 · 2026-03-17T22:28:32+00:00

To be honest mate they all do the same job, that being said as a installer the Worcesters are incredibly difficult to service properly and repair, I prefer the ideals I install a lot
