  • Installing a gas fire insert and cast iron fireplace

    We have levelled the hearth and present drilled holes ready to attach Carron cast iron fireplace to wall. We now need someone to connect the Nu Flame Gas Insert to the existing capped supply. We also need someone to do a flue test. Do we require fire cement to seal the cast iron fireplace? Thanks

    Radiators turning on when hot water used

    Why do my radioators turn on when the hot water tap is turned on? We've turned the dial on the boiler to "water only" but it hasn't worked. We have an ideal combi boiler. Is this something we could fix ourselves or would we have to get a plumber in? If so, how much would this cost? Thanks. Much appreciated for any advise.
