I am trying to replace the taps in my kitchen as the teeth have gone and they spin.
I know how to turn the cold water off at the stopcock but need to check I am doing the hot water bit right.
We have a copper cylinder upstairs...
Hi,
So i have come to the conclusion that i want to be a plumber, and have decided to do so via the private provider route. Reason being that college/apprenticeship would take too long.
My question is, what's the difference between the City & Guilds 6128 and the City & Guilds 6129...
just had my probation gas safe inspection....was crapping myself about this for some reason!! i have to say though what a nice fella the guy was....don't know why i was expecting some power hungary dude who just wants to make your life a misery.
first thing he said to me was that "he wasn't...
Hi
We have a slight leak from the piping under our shower tray, and the ceiling of the room below gets wet if you shower for a long time. (I know the leak is in the pipework, not the tiles, grouting, sealant aroud the shower tray etc, as I have tried running water direct into the outlet hole...
After paying £105.00 for an ideal isar plate heat excanger to replace a blocked one. me thinks the blocked one i replaced to is too good to throw away. to be honest i dont thinl a cust would save that much money by me cleaning and unblocking it due to the labour cost but it does seem a shame to...
Hi all whats the method of connecting the condensate pipe into sink waste under the sink?,all the boilers ive fitted have been external or internal on soil stack using strap on boss.
Cheers.
I have a Worcester Bosch 400 RSF boiler providing hot water and heating.
The hot water tap at the kitchen has stopped working which I think may be the washer that needs replacing. I cannot see anything to turn off the water supply to the tap ie under the sink etc. If I turn off the water at...
Hi there,
my brother has a heatline c24 combi which was working totally fine for 3 years then few days ago the hot DHW just stopped heating up. The CH side of things is working perfect, it just the DHW. The flow of water coming out of the tap is the same as before but the boiler is just not...
Afternoon all, and thanks in advance for your help.
About 2 years ago, the immersion heater in our hot water cylinder broke so we had it replaced. Now I can't remember 100% but I'm sure that before the change, when we put the immersion on it didn't make much noise.
Since the change, as soon...
I've lived in my house since it was built new in 2001. We have a Megaflow CL170 in the airing cupboard which is supplied by the gas boiler in the kitchen. In the last week the hot water flow pressure from the shower (not a power shower) and hot taps has dropped to almost nothing.
I found...
Hello , i do hope there is someone out there who can help - its getting colder by the minute in here. A week ago i bled my radiators and topped up the boiler and all was well until tonight when my daughter went for a shower - there was no hot water. when i checked the boiler the central heating...
Hi, new to this forum. I have a leak from a plastic push fit elbow. It is grey and marked HBP 15, my research so far says this is an old style hepworth fitting? It doesn't appear to be easily dismountable, but is there an easy way. It is on my central heating system connecting the main pipe to a...
Hey all,
I'm in my 2nd year of a college course doing both my nvq and tech cert.
Now, at work, i have no problems with any pipework etc. At college i find most of it quite easy. However, everytime it comes to building your typical frame in copper, plastics or LCS i seem to get the...
Hiya any help or advice on this would be fantastic, I have been in my house 1 year now and have noticed now that it is much colder outside. That when i switch on my central heating the radiators get warm (too hot to keep your hand on), but you can sit right next to 1 an not feel any warmth. It...
Simple questions, I hope:
When planning the run of the waste pipe from a new shower, do I calculate the fall from the shower tray surface or from the shower trap outlet?
I'm working on a required fall with 40mm pipe of 18mm per 1m and I have a 2m straight span to cross. Is this correct?

Hi
I cannot fit my toilet flush to the wall because part of it is blocked by the waste pipe in the floor. If I can cut away a couple of inches from the base of the pan at the rear then I can fit it flush to the wall. My plumber says he has never done this, but can anyone tell me if it's...
