    Gas pipes noise

    Hi, we have just had central heating installed for the first time and I honestly wish we hadn't.

    Sink mixer taps

    I've just installed a mixer tap that the customer purchased on eBay and, as can be seen from the photo, the cold is off when the lever is in the vertical position and not when horizontal as it should be. Does anyone know if this easy to fix or is a replacement part needed?

    Censorship

    Why did you edit my post then closed? The electrical check list can be freely downloaded from vokera.

    Waterfall Tap - Pressure way too high!

    Hi All, I have installed a small waterfall basin mixer tap and the water shoots out horizontally when the taps is on full - in any position (hot, cold mixed). I'm wondering if the tap is knackered or just no good for systems where the pressure is high. If it is the latter then I would say...

    A message for 'croppie'

    Croppie, perhaps you should read posts before closing them down? You closed mine down and tried to accuse a gsr engineer of not knowing. Had you read things you'd have seen that it was a perfectly legitimate forum for discussion on an issue that had diverse ramifications to the the norm. perhaps...

    Bath drains intermittently - bit gurgly too
