Mark Parsell. 01992 413368. Not a complicated a job but invloves some draining down. Good opportunity to have the system flushed and anti-sludge chemicals refreshed too.

Just as an aside (and slightly off topic sorry), I was reading in the Telegraph about skirting boards that double up as radiators. Anyone ever come across them and do they work??

Very Very expensive..newer styles are better than the old convector heater type. Getting the right Heat output is essential for a warm room..

I think your referring to "Thermaskirt". They were on dragons den before they went alone. In principal and in brochures the product looks good. However a friend of mine was specced it on a newbuild and had the joy of installing it. Not good! They had loads of problems not to mention the fact that the joints look truly awful and the TRVs will get kicked all over the place. Its also virtually impossible to match the heat loss to the room correctly as your lead by the length of the wall. Personally I would avoid it and if someone asked me to fit it I'd probably turn it down.

We have replaced rads and used an online thermal calculator to discover what we should be looking for. Apologies, it's been so long ago now that all I can say is I did a search online and used a variety of sites to come to a conclusion. The best advice we had, from the plumber, was to install an external drainage pipe so that if the heating system needed draining quickly and with minimal fuss all you had to do was loosen a 'cap' outside the house and the system would drain direct into the ground. I recommend Wayne Everett and will post again shortly when I dig out his phone number.
