Greetings. I have an external Worcester Bosch Heatslave boiler and have a question about pressure. The boiler pressure was set to 1.5 during a recent visit by a plumber (as it seemed to have dropped and was hovering between the green and red zone) . A few days later I turned the thermostat down...
Hi all,
I'm really here with the agenda of getting other peoples thoughts on charging deposits. To date I usually charge a third of my labour to hold a date for a customer. I've had no issues until recently where 2 of my prospective clients have tried to negotiate a lower deposit or change the...
Installed 2 days ago, Worcester 4000. Haven’t seen anything like this before, any thoughts.
Personally I would have gone horizontal with an offset bend in the roof space ( to get minimum distance from boundary) and terminated at the gable end.
I am currently trying to solve a problem in terms of laying pipes in a screed floor. The old copper pipework under the screed is leaking and so I am going to abandon it and lay new pipe. I can't box them in or run from the ceiling. So my solution, after some research, was to bring in a new flow...
Having only really dealt with bar mixers and electric showers this would be a first for me.
So my mixer shower started going hot and cold every now and then, and eventually started to leak frequently from the middle, so replaced the cartridge, which has solved the 2 issues.
This is the bit...
been going back and forth with manufacturer and installer for a week, stone resin shower tray 1400x800 with a fracture 220mm long , all installation instructions were followed, manufacturer says installer error (over tightened screws) also a smaller fracture on the opposite side that hasn’t...
Hi guys, been quoted 1550 for direct replacement of baxi combi 105he with a baxi 830, I know the engineers.. So paying roughly 500 for Labour. What do you think? Plus this is with thermostat fitting etc. I thought about 1300/1400.
I’ve been asked about installing some Hive Thermostatic heads to a combi system. I wondered what’s people’s opinions on them, firstly from an installation point of view and secondly from a users view ?

So here goes.
My bathroom towel rail is cold. All other rads in the house are hot and on both upstairs and downstairs. The feed pipe going into the towel rail is nice and hot but the rail itself is cold. It's has a teeny weeny bit of temp change for about an inch along the bottom rung but I...
We heard about Intergas boilers from a family member who has just had one installed. The gas fitter he used raves about them saying how reliable they are. What are you forum members thoughts on them? . Only having 4 moving parts is appealing. The Rapid 32 model looks good value at around £700...

A couple of thoughts on how to get a quote, some people seem to be struggling lately:
1. Ask friends and family for a recommendation, you’ll have more faith in them and them more in you.
2. Give as much detail as you can in an email before the day of the site visit, send plans...
Morning chaps I am doing a boiler conversion and I’ve just gone to look at the loft tanks. F& E is plastic no problems. CWSC However it’s not a material I’m familiar with. I have worked on this estate a few times and I’ve come across some old asbestos tanks but this one doesn’t look like them...
The company that deals with my house and contents have just said that none of their 'panel' of underwriters will quote this year and I need to get an alarm fitted. Dunno why they've suddenly decided this after about twenty years of taking my premiums and never having to pay out a penny in claims...

having a light hearted debate with a mate about a job he’s on.
Renew a bath.
Existing bath is tiled down on to and it’s about 30mm lower than the panel for the new bath.
Customer doesn’t want any tiles removed.
So would you fit new bath up to the tiles and cut the panel..
Or
Fit bath at the...
