Don't laugh (too much)
I had some good advice here and looked at quite a few threads.. So well armed to replace a Type 11 Radiator on a 10mm microbore drop down system and... not being able to free up the drain screw in the original valve earlier in a test, a good idea change the drain tap...
Hi all,
I've just replaced a Mira event that worked fine for 15 years with 'up and over' pipework, which should have been 'down and under'. There's now air in the shower - of course - and I was wondering if there's anything I can fit that will let the air out. I am aware that I should have...
Evening all,
Last time I posted, you achieved the impossible - you managed to talk me through a plumbing fix (I'm not exactly Mr DIY).
I need some more advice if possible. We've noticed some of the stuff in our airing cupboard has got stained by rusty water & it looks like there's a leak...
This is right out of my depth. Original problem was that the overflow had been running for so long and so much that the brickwork has started crumbling. Changed the valve. Tested the controls, check seemed to work. Although I thought that the emersion was wired into the shower pump, and the...
What am I gonna do?
Seriously, I just caught something moving out of the corner of my eye and it was what I thought was a large mouse scurrying away. Followed it into the kitchen and I think it went under the fridge. Shone a torch down the side and there's only one dropping but it look like rat...
Hi everyone, this might be a bit of a strange question, but I'm looking for an alternative to small 'sacs' that are used in vintage pens to hold ink. I'd like to show pics but I'm not allowed, you can see what I mean by googling 'pen ink sac'.
The prices for these are ridiculous, and I need a...
Hey guys, this might be a little off topic, thought this may be a place to ask.
I'm planning a creative project in which I will have some piping bending upward (pic provided) and need to know how I go about creating a pump of sorts to have water flowing continuously through and back around...
Brought an Aladdin easy fit isolator for a job rather than drain down the house just to remove the toilet pan but it weighs 13oz / 360gms which seems a lot of weight to put on the copper cistern feed pipe and the only place it can go is right up close to the fill valve plastic stem connection so...
Just wondered if anyone uses any software for booking in customer appointments. I currently have 6 diaries, one for each engineer and it's really annoying looking through them all every time we make a booking.
then every night we text them there jobs for the following day.
i was thinking of an...
Hello all,
I've found this on my living room ceiling...
The scaggy black area is about a foot long, and is ringed by a very light brown stain about two feet in diameter. This has developed over three months or so. The central area is mushy but the surrounding area isn't squishy.
I first...
Looking for some help please....
The hot water is working fine but for some reason the central heating won't come on. I've taken it out of summer mode, turned up the thermostat in the room to full(the display on this shows flames to state the boilers on) It's currently on programme but hasn't...

Can someone confirm please I'm correct in thinking if you have 2no rads in the same room you only put a trv on one of the rads? If so what's the science behind this and is it also a building reg recommendation ?

Hey guys,
I've got a 3 year old Main Eco 25 combi boiler that's suddenly stopped working for central heating, hot water is working fine on the taps.
We don't have a wall type thermostat, each radiator has it's own setting (always on full - 5), we just flick the switch on the boiler...

Ok, so today it's seems I've made a massive cock up. A while back a client asked me to recommend a combination boiler for installation.
I recommended a Worcester 34cdi, that seemed to be suitable for his property, 30kw CH, 34kw HW, however the client had loads of cold water flow so I said he...
