    New Combi Boiler but No Flush and No Filter?

    Just looked on the BG website as I’m genuinely intrigued, I maybe wrong but do not see how you can compete the benchmark certificate without flushing the system. I’m not gas safe so not really my area but a level 2 plumber and I remember being told this on my course. Think the fitted was...

    hearing

    Old Parquet Floor

    We had some of the same flooring in work than needed a patch taken up, when they put it back down it was quite gappy as yours sounds. Not sure what they used but they went over it with a filler as you would use grout on titles, then sealed it. It’s been down a few year so far and no issues...
