Hi all,
Earlier this week I tried to top up pressure in my boiler. The screws that allow me to do this are buggered but turns out I must have been able to turn it without realising. The pressure has gone up slowly from near zero to near 3!
Now I can't turn the screw a particular way. I have no...
I’d be grateful for some guidance on the best way to fix a leak from my toilet. The leak doesn’t come from the toilet so presuming it’s the seal next to the floor and involves the 4inch waste pipe. I am replacing the toilet anyway and presume I need to replace some kind of flange at the base...
First off I am sparky so go gentle ;-), I have been involved with a garage conversion with a builder friend and we have added two small rads to the existing system in a garage sized room with a small wc. I have sought the assistance of a plumber friend who is coming to look on Tuesday but in...

Checkout the September jobs on TilersForums.com. Had 10 entries for the first month it has been back in around 10 months. That's not bad to be fair. :)
So, for those who don't know, this is where a tiler will whack pictures of his job in a thread, and...
Hello....
I've just had a complete rewire and new gas/boiler/rad system installed into my property.
When it comes to who I should expect to fit a suitable thermostat for the gas heating system would that be down to the plumber,the electrician or combination of both ?.
Thank you.
I have a customer that has just called me as she has no gas. Went round to find out what the issue was.
Pre payment meter not accepting the card. Credit on the card but meter not accepting. Her supplier is not open today. Anyone know where she can get help. They have 5 children and one is...
I purchased an overflow bath filler and taps but struggling to see how to connect that taps to the actual overflow filler. I've included a picture of what has been sent to me and any help would be much appreciated.
I have looked everywhere online for some instructions but to no avail. I am...
Hi all, Firstly i feel really dumb asking such a amateurish question so please be nice as i feel i have to ask for clarification i'm working correctly. Two resent conversations with an ex gsr installer i work with and my old mentor have suggested i'm doing this wrong.
Currently when replacing...
Had my second service on my unvented system. The same thing has happened as last time though. The tundish has started dripping. Last time it was crud that got under the seal on the system. It’s the same again. Plumber just came back and did some things and he could see it had stopped it the loft...
Was doing a syphon change for a pre-agreed fixed price. On going to remove the cistern I am guessing a big hunk of rusty crumbly crap from the close coupled kit fell down the hole in the pan. I didn't see this happen and there was no residue in the hole to alert me to this.
Only discovered it...
Hi
A while ago I replaced the o rings in my kitchen mixer tap spout....simply by removing the grub screw at the back of the spout and removing it in seconds. BUT I tried to do the same job on a friends mixer tap which is leaking from the bottom of the spout where it meets the base. HOWEVER...
Anyone has experience of using Easy Bathrooms and Tiles? just wondering what the quality of the products are like and the prices seem OK
I have an obstruction in a drain pipe. Plumbing was new with the house 65 years ago, and the particular cleanout I need to open has not been opened in all that time. I put a wrench on the plug expecting it to come out. Instead, the plug remains firmly seated in the flange, and the flange...

Hi all,
Bit of a weird issue with my flue.
I live in a 1st floor flat and over the last 12 months or so more & more rain water has been leaking through my flue and on to my boiler.
The leaking only happens when the rain is driving directly towards the flue. When the rain does drop back...
Good morning,
I moved into a flat in August and last month decided to get a new boiler and radiators for each room except the kitchen. The heating is good enough but the living room radiator which is bigger than the all of the other ones, is not as hot. The bottom of it is hot the middle is...
Hi,
I have probably done a silly thing here so need some advice.
I drained down the central heating system with a hose pipe from the drain off on the radiator closest to the door. No problems. Then I removed 3 radiators as we had the decorators in for a few weeks. As the decorators...
Just arrived today for 6th Nov, maybe because my 5 years is coming in December, or i have been a bad boy... eeek
Anyway, i am in Spain, anybody managed to re-schedule without getting struck off.. :-(
I'm looking for clarification if possible. I was asked to service a vokera combi, turned up and clocked that it seemed brand new, socket was actually covered by the casing, 3md drop in 2 mins , flue to close to plastic soffits, 15mm gas supply pipework, no chain on cylinders, no secure base for...
We just had our meters changed from prepayment to smart meters. The boiler was lit after with no leaks, but has subsequently gone out and won't stay lit anymore.
There is still a good gas supply to the cooker so I don't think it's a supply issue.
Any ideas???
