Hello. I have been working within the plumbing industry for around 8 years, since I completed my 6129 course at college. I have mainly been working as a mate/improver. I want to progress onto my nvq, but have been told I need to be working as a plumber in order to achieve it. Problem being with...
My new fitted combi boiler works great But the plumber made a huge mess when he got the old hot water tank from the loft. He dragged it across the floor and scraped my laminate floor and left all blue liquids across my home. He then took it outside and drained it in the street right infront of...
My kitchen sink drain became blocked and, while unblocking it with a plunger and lots of water, I saw the dirty water leak from behind drywall about 6 feet away from sink. I had previously noticed a smell from the same area and dampness on the drywall.
So I cut open the drywall and find an open...

Hello there guys,
We've recently discovered (after a drop of water hit my brother on the head!), that a cold water copper pipe is sweating. We thought it might be a leak but have only seen droplets of water on the pipework and after some research have deciphered that the pipe is sweating. The...

A while before Christmas, we ended up needing the gas pipe feeding our gas hob moving a couple of inches to allow a new oven to slide in properly underneath..
I managed to find a local Gas Safe plumber to come out and do the job for a reasonable price. He explained in general terms what he...
Lost my rag with Doolittle the arse wipe. Apologies to mods for creating extra work but it was good to vent at the little shizer. I'd luv to shuv that Japanese box right up his box, see if it can modulate to heating his blood above 18 deg C. Clearly a loner, cos anybody who has lived with a...

Hello everyone.
Looking for comments/advice please about my wife's latest request... Which is to remove the existing bath from an upstairs bathroom (apparently we don't like it anymore!) and replace it with a shower.

I installed my central heating 40 years ago as a DIY project and it has worked well. I have a Potterton NeataHeat 16/22 with a Y plan control. A week ago I had a leak onto my kitchen ceiling (new ceiling a year ago) which needed me to cut a 6 foot long slot in it to replace a length of copper...
