We have just moved in to a 1934 Semi- and I am getting round a few simple DIY tasks, including a couple of plumbing-part renewals such as modern pipe/u-bend/fittings to kitchen sink, rinse sink etc as preventative maintenance! Nothing complex or specialist, that's for you expert guys!
But in...
Hi,
I have an 1904 redbrick 2,500 square feet house.
We have UFH on every floor. 3 Floors
House is reasonably well insulated but far from perfect.
Would there be any point in installing a "air to water" heating system that could link into my existing UFH??
Hi all. I'm looking to fit a new shower in my bathroom. Can anyone advise as to whether I can use any of today's modern showers without having to change my plumbing based on the attached photos?
Many Thanks

Hi all,
Hoping you can help me out.
We had building work last summer and added a few radiators on both ground first floor. We also replaced our vented hot water system with an unvented hot water system but the heating remains open with a small F&E tank in the loft.
Since the works, when the...

Hi - I'm looking for some guidance with a problem with the Grohe Adagio discharge piston/seal which leaks part way through refilling. I've seen this raised before but there didn't seem to be a resolution.
We have a couple of Grohe Adagio concealed cisterns, both 16 years old. With one I have a...
Hi,
I'm still abroad and slightly bored.
My father waters the plants on his balcony using plastic bottles. Refilling them from the kitchen tap is time-consuming and laborious and 16 bottles take up a fair bit of floor space. It has occurred to me that if there were, say, 2-4 bottles filled...
I'm being lazy as I'm sure MIs tell me somewhere.
Doing an install with an unvented cylinder (not a problem in itself) they also want a water softner, is it able to go through the softner before getting to the multi function valve or will it reduce the flow and pressure down too much?
Hi, I'm looking for help with a persistent problem. I have a Vaillant TurboMax Plus 837E combination boiler which appears to be in fine working order. However, it provides only lukewarm water to the taps and shower. To date three engineers have looked at it but failed to resolve the problem...
My boiler stopped working, so we're using the immersion.
A plumber has come out to fix it but says "I can't check it as the water is already hot".
Am I missing something? Surely running the hot water tap for 5 minutes would solve that problem?
All comments very welcome.
My opposite pensioner neighbour is being horrendously overcharged for roofing work she doesn't need, no leaks except her neighbour was having roof cleaned and they noticed a few broken tiles so you get the picture. She signed a contract for 8K which was well described but she is only getting new...
Good evening all,
I am a new member, a retired engineer, but not a heating engineer.
I have a problem with my 38cxi with after burn at the end of the pre-heat cycle, that my Service Engineer has not experienced, and which Gow-Worm support do not appear to be able to advise on. I can tell when...

Hi
I have 5 pipes H/C/F/R and gas fairly close together which are running under a suspended timber floor on the ground floor. They are already insulated with really old pipe felt with plenty of uninsulated sections. I want to insulate them as best as possible and was thinking of using...

Hi,
Hoping that someone can offer me some advice on how to get gas safe qualified.
Despite having no formal qualifications in plumbing, I am quite competent with all pipework skills and electrics. I work sometimes with a gas safe mate of mine on boiler replacements and pretty much know how to...

Hi guys
I had a thread back in October, my brothers boiler was playing up. HW and CH would only work for a little while, then it would make a clunking noise and shut off.
He asked me to go round tonight as the HW was playing up.
It sometimes doesn't get hot at all (the hw light does come...
