I had a government scheme eco boiler fitted last year which went wrong this morning, had to pay £300 for an engineer to fix the problem who went on to tell me that the pipework hadn't been changed correctly to accommodate the new fully pumped system from the old gravity system and to complain to...
Hello everyone,
In 2010 I was doing a course in plumbing, I think it was a BTEC in Plumbing level 2. It was a 2 year course which I completed and passed. But I didn't get the full NVQ as I couldn't find an apprenticeship, despite ringing and sending letters to pretty much every plumbing company...

I'll need to get a new boiler soon to replace my 20yr old 4 pipe boiler with separate gravity HW and pumped CH open vented system but I foresee a problem with the overflow and vent being on the end of the HW circuit. Boiler is in the garage and has 28mm pipes going up to the airing cupboard on...

Recently had a new water supply pipe. The old supply was via a shared lead pipe all the way down the back of the terrace to our property on the end. Very low pressure, and being poisoned. ☺ We took the new supply from the main pipe in the street just outside the front...
Hi
I am thinking of taking a course in smart metering and becoming an installer. I want to know how easy it would then be to become fully gas safe registered and become a full gas engineer and gain the CCN1 qualification?
Thanks

I need to replace our slimline dishwasher that is built into the kitchen furniture. I am considering a Hotpoint LSTB 4B00 or a Whirlpool ADG211. My question is: what does "fully integrated" mean? I want to transfer the existing front from the existing machine to the new one. Is this always...

Hi Everyone,
A bit of advice, I have an old santon vented cylinder (25-30 years old)
it's a 30 gallon which I think is around 130 litres so should be getting around 90 litres of hot water although only achieving 40 litres
It wired on a bottom element and temp is is a bit higher than...

I have just moved into a property that has an Ideal Logic Combi 30 boiler - installed about two years ago.
The DHW flow rate is pitiful - 3 l/min. (Cold from mains is 12 l/min)
I've tried setting it to a lower temperature but this doesn't affect the flow rate, only the temperature.
We live in...

Custard has wet room and they want bath installed. Presuming the main problem (apart from painstakingly pre-drilling holes for fixings) will be that it's bound not to sit square on wall. Any tips?
Hi Folks, I've got a strange fault with radiators not heating fully. Four year old system in three floor house with system boiler and unvented hot water in basement. A lot of the rear panels on the double panel rads on all floors are not heating, almost cold. The fronts are hot though some are...
