Hi all, grateful for your expertise on the following. DIYer, not pro.
Rural property in France
Single storey. Septic tank. Late 80s construction with concrete slab subfloor. All of the waste pipes run in the concrete, and exit the property at the chamber as pictured, just outside the building...
Hi,
I’m looking for guidance to access the cartridge of a leaking single handle bathroom faucet. It has no visible markings on it to determine manufacturer. I see how to remove the handle but question the 2 metal rings which are part of the faucet. Do these need to be removed to access the...
Hi I bought a basin tap single lever. It lifts up & to the right but won’t turn to the left for hot I haven installed it yet I’ve only put it on my worktop.
Hi, I'm looking to purchase a 300L unvented indirect cylinder to work with a standard heat only boiler.
I may have solar panels in the future, but likely the PV kind rather than the thermal kind, and won't be having heat pump in the future. So the cylinder would be connected to the boiler at...
A bit of clarification - I have extended a 3 bedroom semi detached and at the time central heating pipes were going in I told the plumber could I have 2 zones - one for bedrooms upstairs and another for the living areas downstairs. Now the plastering has been finished and I am costing the combi...
Hello,
I'm installing my first Belfast/butler kitchen sink. It came with the waste and stainless steel drain. To my surprise the kit only has one washer in which the instructions clearly state that it should be placed underneath the sink. My question is, shouldn't there be a washer between the...
Hi All
I have a single pipe central heating system which was extended 20 years ago when we had an extension. The heating upstairs has never been great particularly in the extended part with only a few of the original radiators getting very hot. We replaced the downstairs radiators with UFH...
I have a single pipe system retrofitted to a 1930's house. It is powered by a condensing gas boiler.
As expected, the radiators get cooler the further they are from the boiler.
It occurred to me that if I fitted a "crossover switch" between the punp and the radiators I could send the water...
Ok so, I supplied a shower valve, overhead shower and riser to a customer that was having it installed by a plumber. Hands up I made a mistake when I ordered the valve and supplied a single outlet instead of twin. If the plumber had called me at time of install I could have swapped it for him...
Hi everyone,
I recently had a Hansgrohe wall mounted single lever basin tap and a Hansgrohe thermostatic concealed bath/shower valve installed (full bathroom renovation). The basin tap started dripping a few days after installation. But it stops dripping only when shower is turned on. Any...
I have inherited a single pipe central heating system in a large old victorian house, powered by a Worcster Greenstar 8000 and controlled by Honeywell Total Connect.
The installer will not return my calls, and the system is not working efficiently. I need someone that can come and help sort it...

Need to adjust some pipework for new radiator but both the branches for old radiator came off the same pipe. Will this create a vacuum for me to move the tees further apart then rejoin up?

Have a one handle shower pouring water from handle, probably vintage 1964 or 1965. Tile enclosure, built up over what appears to be industrial-strength chicken wire covered in plaster. No way to turn water off, except at the main, so wondering what or even if there's a time-efficient way to...
I've got a DHW system with 2 storage tanks run in parallel - everything is well set up for the 2 tank operation, but other than completely removing one tank, and draining it to avoid legionella risk, is there a way I can keep both hooked up but only run the single tank (system was installed for...
I have a new build and has 2 separate zones. One thermostat in main bedroom, one in living room.
Main bedroom thermostat controls all bedrooms and bathrooms, living room thermostat controls all downstairs and the upstairs landing.
Rooms with thermostats have no TRVs as expected, and all other...

I can't see why this wouldn't work but thought best to ask encase anyone has tried it before or is using it and would care to comment.
So the plan is to install wet UFH in a soon to be built kitchen extension. The ufh will be installed in the whole kitchen area which will be of block and beam...
Done a fair bit of reading and spoke to numerous plumbers/heating engineers and I get so many different answers to my question. By nature I'm a pretty inquisitive bloke and like to know how things work and if its the best way to do things. So my first question is does a single zone UFH setup...
