    Got myself in a flap here

    SGN have come out and cut off a ladies gas as they are saying its outside permissible drop. I've never had a supposed leak on a card meter. I've just checked and its 1/4 mb drop if at all. Is there no permissible drop allowed on these

    Leaking hot water tank - is this something I can fix myself?

    Firstly I'd just like to say hi as this is my first post. I've noticed a fairly constant drip coming from my hot water system that seems to be because of a loose fitting but I'm not sure if it's something I should risk tying to fix myself. The leak was noticed because it started coming through...

    Do it myself and mods

    This guy really gets up my nose. hes on here giving advise under the ukpf banner. We don't know his qualifications, he's got no badges what so ever. so surely he shouldn't be giving advise? Can the mods do anything about this, maybe some sort of disclaimer attached to his posts? Something...

    New boiler in Windermere

    I have recently bought a holiday let property in Windermere with a view to using it for myself and family when it's not rented out. I soon discovered I had an awkward neighbour in the flat below who reckons the heating keeps him awake at night if it's on after 10:30pm and has made 'threats' if...

    Second-guessing myself - opinions

    Did a landlord cert yesterday, hob would not spark on one ring. No other problems with it. No FSDs. My thought was ID as gas can be just left on, unignited. But then I thought well what about older hobs / cookers that don't have piezo ignition or FSDs by design? And a spark unit is not a...

    decided not to work for customers "who have had a go myself" anymore

    I have been to so many folks who decide to call you in after their Rayburn/Aga no longer works that I no longer need them for customers. You never know if they have been fiddling again when they call you back, you have to put up with them looking over you shoulder, so they dont need to call you...

    Wireless Room Stats

    Went to a job today reporting of no heating. Heating only boiler with a cylinder for dhw - s plan. After creating demand on the water, confirmed the pump and boiler was fine. After testing I found the wireless receiver to be at fault - I bridged the common to the call and ran the heating, all...

    I can now call myself leaky!!!!!!!!!

    finished off rerunning a waste system from one side of a kitchen to the other into an old soil pipe today as the old runs ran straight into the sea and the environment folks weren't happy. So at 2100 the phone rang and the voice on the other end mentioned water, carpets etc!!!!!!!! trotted...

    Find myself becoming more and more parochial on the net.

    10 years ago I visited loads of sites and was always searching for new and interesting/entertaining things. Granted I had more time but it seems very easy to get stuck in your ways on the net. There must be half a billion sites out there and I probably visit 10. I know there's a lot of ****e but...

    Actually wetting myself with laughter!

    The gas registered guys may have seen our adverts in the "registered gas engineer" magazine. We've been running them now for about 6 months or so. There aren't many places that we can advertise, because of course we don't want Joe public to see our trade prices, but that mag reaches our target...

    Introducing myself

    I trained with a plumber earlier in my life- domestic heating and general. I do a fair amount in work from time to time. I like the work the procedures, solutions and doing it neatly and well. I like people who do their (honest) craft well - generally they are what might be meant by cool...
