Hello lads anyone know of a supplier of decent bleed keys I'm now low on the ones that come with the fernox bottles there smaller and great for getting on rounded bleeds they have saved my bacon loads of times!

If a mira go shower isn't getting warm, I presume the likely cause is the element has gone? Is this correct.

I have recently moved in to a house with oil central heating. There is an MA1 mid-position valve, HTS3 cylinder thermostat and a Lifestyle LP522 programmer. The problem is that the water in the cylinder gets too hot. The cylinder thermostat is working correctly - moving the valve to the CH...

Hi people, I'm currently doing a level 1 plumbing course and I'm going to level 2 next year and level 3 after that, but i was wondering, because it is so hard to find anyone that will employ me for an apprenticeship, if there is any other way of becoming gas safe qualified, like I'm sure you...

How do you see your workload in the future getting more work?

Hi Guys, Wonder if you can help. Just had my 2 year old Remeha boiler serviced by the original installer and ever since the service I have been getting a 'whoomp' from the boiler as it ignites. Not enough to shake the casing but enough to hear it 1 room away. I am assuming that the gas is...

Hi all, was hoping for some advice. The hot tap on the bath is playing up. Recently when shut off it started dropping until fully strength tightened, which i can only assume is the washer needs replacing, but we are also getting a hot water problem. The tap always seems to have low...

With the weight loss? Anyone still having a go? Between weddings, food festivals, birthdays and a trip to london I've put 1/2 a stone back on! I had a lot of fun doing so though ;-)

I am thinking of changing my conventional boiler to a combi. I understand the tanks in the attic have to be cut off and water tank done away with,pipes stop ended etc. but i am looking for a rough idea on cost for labour and materials excluding price of a combi as i will supply myself...

The amount of posts about faulty boilers is on the rise!:bomb::bomb::yawn::yawn::yawn:

Customer has just had a new bathroom fitted. Basin waste runs directly into an unvented soil stack. As a consequence as the basin drains it makes an awful gurgling sound. I have done away with the bottle trap that bathroom installer used and fitted an anti vac pedestal trap. When I left all...

Said it before think there is money in utilities but whats the actual score ? How do you get started in it ? Say fitting water meters or gas meters do you just complete course sign business into the lloyds register and start bidding on sub contracting contracts ? What about supply pipework etc...

Hi All, I recently replaced the bathroom in my house and replaced the old bath with a bath/shower mixer tap. The pressure was very low (gravity fed system) so I removed the check valves that i had fitted previously but there was no improvement so I got a plumber to install a salamender...
