Narrowboat Tom Kitten at Marsworth

Just a short post as it was wet and dull so no walking the dogs this week. I went over to Marsworth to see if anything was moving on the cut. The only boat moving was NB Tom Kitten so a couple of photographs just to record the event.

Central Heating Installation

The water heater in the bathroom finally stopped working so it was time to catch up with the romans and get central heating installed. After much research on the internet and getting some quotes from heating engineers it was decided to give the job to http://www.flamegas.co.uk/index.php . after reading about this company on checkatrade..  http://www.checkatrade.com/Search/?cat=10&hiddenIsCap=&location=Leighton+Buzzard&postcode= 

I was impressed by the reports by satisfied customers, and the skill base of the employees. I had got a quote from British Gas but this took a month to be presented where as Flamegas took one day and was very reasonable being £2000 cheaper than B.G.  I was not disappointed in the results.

They had to install seven radiators, remove an old gas water heater from the bathroom and two gas wall heaters in the bedrooms, make good the holes left in the walls and connect up the water and boiler to the existing bath/shower and wash basin.They also painted the outside walls where the heaters were removed and the flue exits.

It was good to see that in these days of austerity they employ an apprentice who was brilliant at installing the boiler.The workmanship in cutting a hole in the brickwork for the flue and condensate was good. As you will see in the following photographs they had to cut through an existing grill without damaging the pebble dash as has happened in other properties in our area. All this was completed in THREE DAYS and it all worked perfectly. A great job done and would recommend them without a doubt.

Heating runs in the floor before insulation was put under the pipes.

This is C.J. the apprentice who installed the boiler.

This is Steve who is the co-owner of the company and has just commissioned the installation.

Pictures showing before and after the exhaust flue was fixed in position. A neat result.

This picture shows the condensate outlet pipe joining the down pipe and the pressure safety pipe above.

This is the Lime beater 2 fitted to prevent damage to the boiler by lime scale.

and a Spirotech MB3 magnetic filter, not necessary in a new system but I had it fitted as a precaution.

This is one of the radiators fitted in the hall.

So if you need any plumbing done in the  Beds, Bucks, Herts, Aylesbury, Leighton Buzzard, Milton Keynes, Hemel Hempstead, Dunstable, Luton,Tring,etc of the UK have a look at this company, I am a happy customer.
