I live in a terraced house with one side consisting of 6+ people living inside a house and the other side is empty.
1) I do not trust my neighbours
2) I had let a guy into my house even though deep down something didn’t feel right
3) I was in a rush and thought he was the boiler man
3) The...
How did your kids do in their exams? Have they got the grades they wanted?
Seems like it has been a bit of a shambles this year to be honest. I do feel sorry for the kids.
Hopefully now the government is letting the teachers give the grades it won't be as bad now.
I heard BTECs are still not...
Hello everyone,
I need a bit help around a noise coming from possible pipes.
I live in a end terrace house and when my next door neighbour runs their water, a clicking sound can be heard from where our toilet sits. I’m pretty sure it’s not the toilet making the noise, but more behind it and in...
I'm wondering when most people start to use central heating, and how we differ in our use of it.
Probably it's relevent WHERE we are: I'm in northeast Essex and haven't had the heating on yet.
We are currently looking for forum mentors to help Trainees with their written sides of their training and tests. And to generally have a safe out of public view where they can ask anything at all and it can be answered by factual professional people from within the industry.

Sorry if this appears to be a simplistic question, but not as easy to answer perhaps as we think.
It is to settle an argument.
As the title says, - what are TRVs supposed to do in all respects and what way do they operate?
Hello!
I'm currently doing some research into the plumbing trade and wanted to understand a bit around how smaller traders (micro-business / self-employed) promote themselves to their customers. My research so far has been limited to a Google search, but I'm curious to know a bit around:

Normally I'd get a few calls a day, yesterday counted 28 calls the ones I answered were mostly boiler breakdowns/frozen pipes and wanted a plumber asap. I've got a cold and diary is full anyway.
Just amazing once the big guys can't cope the spill over makes you realise how much work there is...
A customer wants to know country of origin for baths I have quoted on.
Email correspondence with Roca has been interesting.
Roca first told me '[t]hey are made in one of our Roca factory'. Customer and I had a laugh about that, saying we were glad they weren't made in a village with each...
Evening All,
I've just spoken to someone who wanted me to call around one evening this week to fit an electric shower which he's bought. He told me he works during the day. I told him I work nine till five - like everyone else. I don't want to work my evenings so I wouldn't budge. It set me...
Have you noticed that people are a total whizkid when it comes to using their phones but when they want to show you something they suddenly turn into a illiterate caveman, bashing at the screen with a finger "ooh no ive opened up my caluculator, ooh no I've just turned off screeen rotation...ooh...
I was wondering if anyone would have any advice on our cold sunroom. Basically the room is the coldest in the house. It is off the kitchen and separated by two double doors. However, we barely use it during the winter because of how cold it gets.
There's a long double radiator in the room...

Hello
I live in a maisonette with a flat below and another maisonette to the side of me. Problem is I can now hear whenever either neighbour uses their water due to loud whooshing/hissing noise coming from the pipes. I was able to ignore it at first, but impossible to do so now as the whooshing...
Just a quick question for those of you who fit this stuff day in, day out...
I quite like the 'designer' offerings from Stelrad, Myson and Quinn. Price wise, they are about the same, through a merchant, so not a huge difference there for me.
Only thing is, Myson and Quinn have 10 year...
Afternoon all,
I am looking at heading to Kamco for the day for their training of powerflushing. I did see the webinar that Adey ran a few weeks ago about using the magnacleanse on its own to flush a heating system, however I am keen to see what the Kamco kit can do, and if so any better /...
Hi,
Upstairs flat changed their boiler - some of their old fittings couldn't stand the pressure, big hole in our ceiling. Their plumber put in a temporary fix as they were unable to solder. Any thoughts on whether what they've done is suitable as a long term fix? The ceiling is not yet back...
