damaged
Damage is any change in a thing, often a physical object, that degrades it away from its initial state. It can broadly be defined as "changes introduced into a system that adversely affect its current or future performance". Damage "does not necessarily imply total loss of system functionality, but rather that the system is no longer operating in its optimal manner". Damage to physical objects is "the progressive physical process by which they break",: 1. and includes mechanical stress that weakens a structure, even if this is not visible.: ix.
Hi everyone I am a self employed plumber working in Scotland, around 2 months ago I had disconnected a water tank up a loft. When I was draining the tank through the standing drain pipe a bit of water spilled because of the previous plumber who converted the heating side had disconnected the...
Hello,
We are renovating our home these days, and recently had to bring a certified welder to re-weld a constructive pillar’s base which is located close to water pipes. The welder had to excavate the floor for accessing the pillar base. After he finished his stuff,
we noticed one of the pipes...
Hi all. Any idea on the best way to repair this quite visible chip around the shower tap fitting? Is it a matter of trying replacing it? what is the best way to solve the issue avoiding damage to the other tiles and to the shower screen (frameless one with hinges attached to the adjacent tiles)...
Evening all,
Hoping someone could advise as I woke to find water pooling at the bottom of my guest room radiator. Upon closer inspection I found the valve where the radiator is bled from looks cracked and corroded and had started to leak water. (See pictures)
Please could someone advise me on...
Hi
I'm currently in an argument about the cause of a damaged pipe which has caused further damage to the building. I would really appreciate as many opinions as possible to how people think the damage to the pipe in the picture was likely to have occurred . To reduce bias, I'm not going to say...
Just been to look at an old Vaillant combi for an elderly couple.
It's under a Vaillant contract and they have AR'd it because the bird guard fins of the inner flue terminal have gone brittle and fallen off.
Can I just fit a stainless flue guard to get over this?
Hi,
Trying to get my head around what may have caused our, admittedly very old, plastic cold water storage tank to split and leak through the bathroom ceiling.
We have what I believe is referred to as an open vented system - conventional boiler, cold water storage tank and small header tank in...
I managed to damage the outside of an underfloor heating pipe whilst chiseling the screed today. Im confident it wont leak (right away) but its certainly weakened. I have seen electricians use what I guess is some sort of resin when making joints that will be buried underground and wondered if...
Hello. I've a Selectos D42/A burner in an Trianco boiler. I've been told that the 'nose' of the burner (fire tube?) is damaged and that I need a new part (unavailable) or a new burner. I've looked on the internet for a photo of a 'good' one without success but I did find a couple of diagrams in...
Hi
I'm completely new here! I'm being driven mad by an unfixable leak between the water valve and my washing machine inlet hose. I've replaced every bit that could affect it and I'm still getting a leak where the inlet hose screws onto the valve.
I've tried PTFE tape which only slows down the...
What do company owners do if one of their men scratches or does minor damage to a van i.e not significant enough to claim insurance maybe £100 ... £200s of work ? would they have a this written on a contract that all minor damage repairs caused by the driver must be rectified ?
Also if you...

I have just purchased a flat with an Alpha 240E boiler. On getting the annual gas check (the flat is rented) the Gas Engineer has identified previously badly repaired corrosion holes in the flue and joints that have come apart. The flue is horizontal approx. 4m long and vents through a side...
Hi all
Apologies if this is not the right place to ask, but I'm hoping you can help me with the problem I have. We have hired a gardener for some landscaping work. Yesterday while he was using his kango to remove some concrete on the floor where we want a gravel path instead he damaged a...
Sam (my 15 yr old) and I went to the beach down the road from us at Formby
We took our golf clubs and hacked around for a couple of hours - til it got too busy.
However we also took a boomerang as well and it flew very well - BUT at some point my moby went off
mid flight - I answered and was...
Fitted this about 18 moths ago and the other week the immersion stat failed (cylinder only heated by electric) and the pump was subject to very hot water enough to split one of the hoses.
I fitted a new hose but the pump is now noisy on the hot side and has reduced hot performance and I have...
Hi guys,
I have been to fit some new lights in the hall/stairs/landing of a customers house, I had to cut one of the floorboards with my multimaster to get at the cables, unbeknown to me, the flow and return pipes to the bedroom rad were tight onto the bottom of the floorboard, and when I cut...
Hi. I noticed a flue had been punctured with a pad saw when an access panel had being made. The small holes have gone through the outer flue but thankfully not the inner! I've been given mixed advice so far. One person saying it doesn't matter because its only the outer flue, and someone else...
