I went to a job the other day, customer said that they weren't getting any cold water to the shower.
I took the bottom knob that adjusts the temprature of the water off and span the spindle using a pair of grips, cold setting clockwise. I found that the spindle would just keep spinning round...
Hi
My dishwasher needs replacing. However, I think that the tap that connects the current one may be faulty - was very stiff to "shut off" (teeth marks on the blue tap are visible prior to me touching it - looks like someone has had to open or close with a pair of pliers) and then when I...

I have a 30 year old oil fired Trianco Redfyre TRO pressure jet (25 kw / 85000 Btu/h) which is becoming less reliable.
In the past I have maintained various classic cars and made sure they were reliable by giving them a thorough service at the beginning of ownership (all hoses, ignition parts...

Does anyone know about these first fix setting jigs?
They are called Majig, look simple to use, I think the idea being to set out pipe work accurately and quickly prior to having a floor screed so that all the pipe work is pre set for radiators and return pipe work. And they are resueable.
I...

My heating stopped today and the Honeywell 4043A 3 way diverter valve wont autoswtich from HW. The thermostat and boiler send correct signals and system works if I hold the valve switch to manual so HW and CH are running. First question - can I leave this as a temporary fix for a few days then I...
In this colder weather the boiler operates normally but for no apparant reason the reset button is triggered. I have to press the reset button to fire up the boiler again.
One minute fine so assume pump, valves pressure as OK.

I know whats wrong with it. Apparently the Heat Exchange & Pump are choked up with limescale over the years and the only way to fix it is replace the parts which are around £140 each. I am looking at a £400 quid bill for this. So was thinking of a one price fix it service. I know that Biasi...

Hi,

The bathroom is entirely tiled from top to bottom quite nicely but with the walls far from squared.
I have a Shanks Sandringham Suite to fit in it. The bath will have a wooden panel, height set to the maximum: 530mm.
I prepared the bath as the...
Hi,
I have had a nightmare with my central heating. The rads never use to be greatly hot and think they were balanced out to the best they could be, but It all started when I had a new conventional boiler fitted. Once installed all 5 rads would come on but the main one downstairs would cool...
