safe
A safe (also called a strongbox or coffer) is a secure lockable box used for securing valuable objects against theft or fire. A safe is usually a hollow cuboid or cylinder, with one face being removable or hinged to form a door. The body and door may be cast from metal (such as steel) or formed out of plastic through blow molding. Bank teller safes typically are secured to the counter, have a slit opening for dropping valuables into the safe without opening it, and a time-delay combination lock to foil thieves. One significant distinction between types of safes is whether the safe is secured to a wall or structure or if it can be moved around. A less secure version (only suitable for petty cash) is usually called a cash-box.
Hi, I’m looking to retrain as a gas engineer and do a new entrants gas course.
I’m a bit concerned by the ‘on-job’ work experience/shadowing, as some course want to charge £1500 to pair you up with a qualified engineer. Some courses don’t offer pairing and suggest you find your own engineer to...
This is a flue from a boiler, just installed by Borthwick. We were worried that this was dangerous so called out BG. They say it is not dangerous but the boiler has been certified as “at risk”. We are trying to get them back, but its not easy. C**b*ys comes to mind. CO monitor nearby.
Hi, my mother had an electric cooker installed yesterday. The guy who fitted it said it shouldn't be close to the gas pipe but it is.
The red arrow shows the gas pipes, the blue arrows are the electric supply for the cooker and the purple is the back of the cooker.
I know nothing of plumbing...
Hi there,
Can I simply undo the screws on this heater towel rail, make sure it's off and prop it up while I paint the wall behind it?
I saw tutorials that said to drain towel rails but mine doesn't have any controls, just a switch outside the bathroom.
Thanks!
Hi I have a problem with my flexible pipes on my sink. They need replacing but we are going on holiday so won't be able to get this done till we get back. Is it safe to leave isolation valve turned off on flexible pipe connected taps for a longer period as it will be 2 weeks? Will it cause any...
Hi,
A while ago , we has an odd-job guy fit a new downstairs loo. He's attached the washing machine and basin waste to the top of the toilet waste, see photo. We have a septic tank and sewage smell coming up when we flush. I've assumed this is because the seal where the waste enters the ground...

Drain central heating system (water tank in loft) in
a two storey house - ground and first floor
when is it safe to switch the boiler back on -
is it only when the tank in the loft has stopped making
a noise - implying that the system is back to where it

Hi all,
I wonder if someone can help. We have a Worcester MT10 combi boiler that has a fault with the expansion vessel. The landlord is having the boiler replaced this weekend, but in the meantime I was advised by their plumber to top up the pressure each morning (as it's currently dropping...
I have an old Gledhill very large boiler in my 2 bed flat (over 20 years old) and an electonic 7 thermo box. Currently i have everything off as i dont need them to get hot water to my shower, dishwasher and washing machine. The only thing the boiler seems to do is heat my hot water in my sink...
I have read a few posts on here discussing sharing a washing machine stand pipe for the boiler condensate pipe and the risks of washing machine waste water backing up into the boiler etc., but I recently seen something that I can't find any discussion on so thought to start one.
It was a combi...
Afternoon everyone.
Could somebody state the regulation number that dictates denso tape is no longer suitable for protecting gas pipe as it could mask a potential leak? Appreciate it, thanks.

Ideally, I want to cut these redundant pipes out. I’m pretty sure this is hair felt insulation but I’m a sparky by trade so not familiar with pipe lagging. I do know pipe lagging often contained asbestos and as the house was built in 1890 and sporadically worked on ever since… could do with some...
Hi All, I am going to pay to put for one of my guys to be put through his Gas safe MLP course. Its a lot of investment for us and as such we will be drawing up a contract to say that if he leaves before X amount of time then he has to pay the course fees back.
Question - what do you think is...
