replace

Hello, I am in Australia and I have noticed a leak from my cistern into my toilet bowl. Upon investigation I have surmised that this is due to a failing washer. The washer appears to be disintegrating as there are many small black pieces of rubber in the cistern and it flakes easily when...

Hi all, I'm hoping the title says it all - I've got a low level toilet in an old-fashioned community hall that is concreted to the floor and the pan connector is leaking. It's only a small leak thankfully but there's no way to get the toilet out without breaking the pan and opening up a world...

My anton evo2 now needs a £250 service with new oxygen and carbon monoxide sensors. My first thought was maybe I should just replace it. Do the service bills get bigger than this?

Hi there, I was hoping you lovely people could help me to identify this toilet cistern push button system below, so I can replace it or get something similar. The internal push button is completely broken, but would I need to replace the whole part of the cistern section with the external push...

Hi. CM927 Wireless programmable Thermostat and Relay box were fitet in my house Sept. 2008. Now the CM927 seems to misbehave, If I buy a replacement CM927 will it work with the existing Relay box?

Good evening, In my kitchen I have got a tap with fixed copper tube that they fit in a plastic but in grey ( see picture1). Can I fit in the grey pipes this tap with flexible pipes? Is there an adaptor between them? What is the name of it? (Picture 2) Thanks

Hi All, Merry Christmas and a great New Year. I want to change my old Switchmaster programmer to a newer easier to use wi-fi controlled model, something I can adjust from my phone or laptop and not have to crawl about in my airing cupboard! ( I'm too old for that stuff). Can anyone recommend a...

Hi guys, So sorry if this has been posted hundreds of times already! I need to change a broken TRV4 valve on an upstairs bathroom rad. Do I need to drain the whole system to do this on a Gloworm Ultimate boiler system? If so, is the pipe in the pic (above the boiler) the drain off...

Hi, I am new to the site, and cannot believe I haven't found it earlier. Anyways I have 6 taps all leaking 8n the house and all the same tap. They are a fixed Unit and there is a hole at the back which I assumed would need a Allen key, it's clogged up but cannot get an Allen key in...

can i use a mid position actuator to replace a zone valve actuator

Bit of a head-scratcher and I know the answer is 'how long is a piece of string'. A potential customer wants a fully enclosed back-to-wall pan (the type with no access from room side) replaced. Not something I have done before. While there is an access panel where the concealed cistern is...

Hi everyone, I’m a kitchen/bathroom fitter and have a job coming up where the customer has had an extension built and added another bathroom which backs onto the existing bathroom. the existing svp comes up in the corner of existing bathroom then runs horizontally to the toilet in a 1m high box...

I have an actuator pin which is leaking when closed, i have swapped the actuator itself but that has not resolved the problem. I have ordered a replacement actuator valve but I'm not sure what i need to do to replace,,, if i put a spanner on it straight away I'm guessing that water will go...

Background - I'm a DIYer but am comfortable with draining down systems, adding radiators and using flux and solder etc. So I've inherited an old system in our house with a 28mm old-style MagnaClean on the return. Both isolation valves are knackered (common fault the internet tells me!) so I've...

Hi everyone Another post from myself to add to the list if not a problem. What would you be replacing this with in a landlord property? He's not too bad, doesn't want to penny pinch and put in the cheapest rubbish available but wants reliability and not be ripped off. What would you go for...

I would like to replace the cast iron branch with plastic but am not sure how far below the floor level I will find the point where the branch spigot enters the female fitting. The floor is in a garage and there is a room below that I cannot access therefore all work has to be done from above...

Hi just joined the forum. Looking forward to getting some experienced opinions here. Really quite desperate to get 2nd opinions etc.... We have a house built in 1934. Our water inlet pipe was changed to the blue plastic about 2 years ago. We had a disconnected water softer when we moved in and...

I've been asked to price up for replacing an old Halstead F50 system boiler and unvented cylinder. I'm sure it will be a pandora's box. Have yet to take a look but any advice welcome, pionters to look for and suitable replacements. I've seen Vokera do a suitable but not keen. Will do more...

I am going to move my central heating header tank and started to think about the life expectancy of various plumbing items. The tank is polypropylene and has a brass ball valve with plastic float. It’s 40 years old. With the issues of sustainability etc, it’s it likely that these items will...

hi, so we had tried to fit an isolation valve into copper pipe that came close from the mains supply, but i'm not proud of it. we had to leave the mains water valve at half pressure or else the fittings would leak/pop off. It was my first attempt at plumbing and i assumed i could easily move the...
