I have a slightly undersized radiator in my living room. The calculation says 6315 btus and my rad is 6019 btus. It was a replacement radiator, the same size as the previous one (so pipes were in the right place). There is a gas fire in the room as well. Should this undersizing cause a problem...
I would really appreciate some professional opinions on attached photo. We had an extension built a couple of years ago and a new
bathroom installed on first floor (directly above pipe work in photo) About 9 months ago noticed chipboard flooring around area of this pipe work was sinking and...
I apologise in advance that this might not make sense or be full of silly/obvious questions, but I am a novice at all this!
We have recently knocked through from our kitchen to a new extension to create an opening. Various things have been moved from the wall that was knocked through, including...
New here so hopefully I'm posting in the right place.
I've just started having a problem with a toilet we had professional installed and wanted to get a second opinion on whether it was installed correctly or not.
So we had a toilet with an integrated sink and concealed cistern installed 6...
Hello.
We recently had a combi boiler installed to swap out old plumbing sustem with water tank and gas cylinder. You can see end results in the photos. I would like to ask for your opinion on how well this has been done as I was originally promised only two little pipes coming down from the...
Hi, I'm having a new kitchen installed and the Wickes fitter has put a surface mounted double electric socket just below washing machine/dishwasher waste pipes etc at the bottom of the base unit below the sink, I personally believe this is bad, but I know NOTHING about the rules, so rely on your...
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...
I'm the homeowner of a heat pump + UFH installation, 2 floors with 1 manifold on each floor and a common pump. On both floors each circuit has the same problem: whenever a zone asks for heat and the motorized valve opens there is a some loud knocking going on (see video). In the case of the...
My CH system has nominal 9.5 KW of radiator capacity and 13 radiators plus the indirect hot water cylinder through a diverter valve. All but 4 radiators have TRV's fitted. Those that don't are the downstairs toilet (0.29 KW) Hallway that has the system room stat (0.84 KW) kitchen (1.25 KW) and...
Hello everyone, I hope you can help..I'm a total dunce when it comes to all things plumbing, apologies if posted in the incorrect forum too! Sorry this post is going to be quite long/descriptive but I was just hoping to get a second opinion on the methodology the plumber used to fix our boiler...

Hi there,
I'm looking for advise as I'm a little too close to this issue and need an impartial eye.
Last year my neighbours installed a new boiler with a flue that terminates vertically at roof level.
Initially I wasn't to concerned, but when it started to plume I noticed that it was...
Hi - hoping someone on the forum can give me an opinion on what the noises are from the flat above me. I live in an apartment block and at the start of 2018 came home from holiday to find staining on the roof of the two bathrooms and also on the wall of the kitchen. The agents for the flat...
Hiya, just been and done a survey for a combi swap and came across this. It's a 4th storey flat, modern condenser going in obviously, customer is aware of the plume and is fine with it. I suggested running the flue along and out the canopy but the customer isn't happy with this. I'm quoting...
Looking at something like a megaflo unvented, typically you heat this to 65 degrees.
Most of the day, I have hot water sitting in the tank not being used, and if I do not draw any off, the insulation is very good and keeps it at 65 degrees.
If I draw hot water from the tank it gets colder as...

Hi Guys,
I've just been to the house of horrors - had to ID a 38 year Baxi 525 RS (for a knackered sight glass) followed by a Beko DG 582 for a faulty FSD. I've left the old couple (he has dementia and she has Parkinson's) without any means of cooking, heating or boiling hot water and now I'm...
What are you happy to admit you are totally ignorant about?

Hi All,
Looking for a Gas Safe Engineer local to slough (SL2 postcode) to have a look at the gas supply as the most recent engineer who checked it over says there is a leak, perhaps only pin-***** that is causing the pressure to drop. Also suggested completely overhauling the pipes as he...
