no water upstairs
We were away for a few days during the really cold weather. When we returned there was no water available upstairs (none in the sink, wc or shower). All the water is fine downstairs and the upstairs water tank is working normally. My guess was a frozen pipe (or pipes) where the upstairs pipes are inaccessible and pass very…

I am not sure if its because of a broken water pipe in the region or because of seepage of rain water from the other side of the brick wall which is exposed to the elements and rain.

Size of boiler - Smaller better?
All Had several quotes for a new boiler this week. For a standard 3 bedroom, 1 shower and 1 bath, most of them mentioned that a Vaillant 831 or equivalent is sufficient. Actually I wanted a Vaillant 837, but they said that it is an overkill. However there's a gassafe guy who recommended a smaller boiler, Vaillant 824, as…
