Hello everyone, so I've decided to embark on my journey to becoming a qualified plumber. However, i am unsure if these training courses and providers are legit. My brother had an experience a few years ago that turned to be a scam. The company name is 24/7 Training UK. Weekly payments of 45 quid...
We have a Triton T80 shower. When anyone runs more water in the house - such as flush WC - the temperature in the shower shoots up and is extremly hot - compared to the setting. There must be a temperature sensor/thermostat that controls temperature. This is obiously faulty. So when pressure...
Hi folks, I’ve (until now, successfully...) done all the first fix plumbing on my newly configured bathroom in my flat only to notice that I’ve somehow put a tiny hole (maybe 3 or 4mm wide) in the flexible toilet waste pipe I installed. The floor is now tiled (underfloor heating, cement board...
Afternoon Ladies & Gents, I am having a repeat problem with my Grandma's Immersion Heater Thermostat. The thermostat is a 18" Tesla Dual safety variety from Screwfix. Grandma had a new cylinder and header tank fitted with immersion heater, no other source of hot water. I have replaced the...
I'm a DIY homeowner repacing an outside toilet pan to a salt glazed spigot in a concrete floor. My guess is to cut through the mortar surrounding the spigot and continue cutting through the spigot. What are the pitfalls and tips to assure a clean cut through the spigot. Further will a plastic...
Hello, I would like to know going by my image supplied if that black valve is open or closed? I would also like to move it so I can dangle the power cable so it doesn't touch anywhere near that hot pipe.
Is it normally left in this position?

Hi guys,
A layman here. Have got this gas heater/boiler at home and it stopped heating hot water. The real estate is getting a new boiler but I'd like to ask anyway. I was told that if I hold the reset button for about 10 second I should have a hot water regardless if it works but the tap must...

I am looking to replace my current toilet with a back to wall one, one issue that i have is that the soil pipe would end up being under it. Would it be a bad idea to fit a Slinky-Fit Flexible Pan Connector from the toilet into the soil pipe that is directly under the toilet?

Thought I would drop a quick intro as I have just joined the forum ( after a few months lurking). I'm currently half way through my Gas course, having decided on a career change a bit later in life than most, and have been enjoying the challenge so far. I have been reading as much as I...
Hello there. I've tried posting a question on the general plumbing forum yesterday but it's still awaiting approval. Is that normal? There wasn't anything controversial in it!
Hi Everyone, I am new to the forum, I joined to get some advice and tips on plumbing and central heating
I live in a flat with very low mains water pressure, worst since lockdown for some reason though was told the water board had lowered rather then have a hose pipe ban.
The problem is a slow filling tank after a power shower. I have put a regulator on the shower head to slow flow.
Is it possible...
