Hi everyone. I just removed a shower tray and this is what I found underneath, does it look like a conventional way to create a shower tray support to you? the tray was a 900x900 Merlyn Mstone ABS Capped acrylic. thanks
hi, I was hoping for some advise?
the picture below is off the plumbing my builder has done under my kitchen sink. Apparently he seems to think this is ok but I have a few concerns and would like others views so I am better armed when I go back to/query him again?!
Thank you for any advise
Our boiler has been making this funny noise all day. Only started this afternoon. Happens every 45 seconds or so. Have attached an audio file on the link below. Starts at 5 seconds in and then again at about 44 seconds.
Thanks for any help!

Hi just curious in what’s involved in house bashing on site. Is it 1 plumber to one house and like any normal new build it’s gets first fixed then when other trades been in you go back and do the 2nd fix. Only asking as I’ve been offered a job on site house bashing on price work. Just seeing if...
Can anyone tell me what the acceptable hysteresis ie the switch off/on points of a room thermostat is. My wife always complains it's getting cold in that period between the thermostat switching off the heating and coming back on again to meet demand.?
Hi all!
Sorry if this has been asked before but i haven't been able to find anything out there...
We made our CH system zoned when I laid some UFH in the kitchen. (2 zones total: kitchen + rest of house) each zone has a Honeywell 2-port zone valve. The boiler is a Glowworm combi.

Hi there,
I’m hoping someone can help the last 9 months of intermittent issues we’re having.
We live in a large house which is heated by 2 Vaillant ecotec plus 430 system boilers. They’re wired up together so will work at the same time.
They are used to supply underfloor heating downstairs...
Hi just wanted some advice as to what to do. I'm sure there are some excellent plumbers out there and I just wanted to ask if the plumbing for my power shower looks ok? I think it needs to be supported better not just by random bricks found in my loft! Should the corner joints be lagged...
Hi. Just been shown a job by an engineer friend who likes to mess around with things. He's fitted a pressure reducing valve to the supply pipe to a heated outbuilding. The mains pressure is 5 Bar, the valve has a gauge on it showing 2 Bar when taps are closed.
He helps me out, so I don't...
I recently had a new boiler fitted into my flat and have some concerns about the solution provided for condensate.
When the job was first scoped out I was told that a pipe would be run outside to deal with the condensate, which would be a challenge because of the property but doable.
I stuck...
Hi all, I am new to this forum. I just wanted to see if anyone knows what this part is called. And is it normal for it to drip? There's no visible leak anywhere. And I believe the droplets go into the waste pipe. But something could be wrong if it's not meant to drip. Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Looking for some advice on our boiler system.

Hi,
I'm getting quite a big loss in flow rate upstairs compared to downstairs. Here are the details:
I'm not getting a great litre per minute of hot water from my combi, I'm getting around 12 lpm (which outputs 18 lpm at maximum). When I looked into it, I'm only getting about 12 lpm of cold...

Hello all
Forgive me if this has been brought up before but I have a customer who wants a dishwasher connecting.. simple enough, or so I thought.
However when I speak to him it turns out he cant get home till 1730 and the dishwasher isn't a straight swap, it requires new pipe work to be...
My mum's house has poor water pressure, so she has a water pump fitted to boost the pressure when having showers. As far as I'm aware, it just comes on when there is a demand (i.e. Taps on, shower on etc.)
Earlier today, I popped round to water her plants while she was out. I filled the...
Hello,
Having recently bought a new property which has an unvented hot water system installed, I'm just trying to understand what's normal and what's not so normal having had no experience of an unvented system in any of my previous properties.
My intrigue/concern really comes from when the...
