Hi, Central heating looks to be ok on 6 of the 7 radiators in my house (2 floors). Heat flows as expected. But there is a problem with the radiator in the front bedroom, which remains cold (top and bottom of radiator). I've bled it several times and now water comes out straight away so don't...

Not been on the forum for quite a while. Has Croppie retired? Didn't see any comments from him on any of the threads I looked at.

have the thieving scrotes who swipe stuff from our vans nicked my yellow badge , I had one earlier on . I am going to kick off soon

Purely as a matter of interest, what happened to the introduction of CHP boilers to the domestic market. Anyone out there ever fitted one?

Hi Everyone, Had a few calls recently about macerators, but is a struggle finding the parts, anyone know good sites where i can get parts from online? Thanks,

We have just moved in to a 1950's house which has a central heating system previously heated by a coal fired Rayburn which has been removed. We need to have a new boiler installed, but this may have to be in a temporary location as we hope to have the whole house remodelled and extended. It...

This dam basin I’m fitting is for a particularly fussy customer. Its a corner, wall hung basin. He does not want to see the pipework, and I’m not putting the flexi tails that came with it connected in the wall like I’ve seen others do. All I need are a pair of copper tails (readily available) -...

I am looking at potentially doing a plumbing apprenticeship but there's hardly any available. I was looking specifically at Nottinghamshire and found literally 2, using many different websites. Is it a bad time of year to look or does anyone know why there's nothing being advertised?

Since buying our house in Leeds, It's become apparent that we are having more hassle than its worth with out boiler and have agreed to put some of our savings aside to buy a new one. We know we need a Combi Boiler but have no idea what brands we need to be looking at in regards to how expensive...

Evening all, Our boiler hasn't been doing very well recently. Just doesn't get the radiators hot at all. It was a relic of a smaller house, which was then extended. They didn't replace the boiler. We've decided to replace the boiler and sort out some pipework, install new valves etc, but I...

Hi I've just had a check done on my central heating system. The RGI suggested it might need a powerflush and collected a sample for a Fernox System Health Check. The sample for the central heating system was taken from the bottom of a Fernox TF1 filter and contained a fair amount of black...

Hi all, I'm a newbie poster who has found the website very helpful for general advice and was hoping someone could offer some advice. I'd like to add a Magnaclean type filter to the current set up, I appreciate the best place to add these is on the return to the boiler, however, my pipework is...

Hi all, I posted a thread the other day about my condense pipe being blocked and someone that was sent by the management company telling me that my condense pipe shouldn't feed into a waste pipe (Gas safe registered plumber may have fitted boiler against terms of the lease). The overwhelming...

Morning, Any advice as to where I can hire a Flower Flushing machine for a one-off job? I'm based in NE England. TIA.

I have a worster bosch combi boiler. When I just use hot water everything is fine. If I turn the central heating on the boiler bubbles like crazy and tries to light with a booming noise. It then fails and turns on the reset. I have searched through various areas including this site and come to...

Christmas, (for those who partake), is nowhere near upon us in my head but talk of ordering a Bird has begun. Questions are :- Which bird, Goose or Turkey. Do you buy a Crown, full bird or rolled breast ?

Good evening all, I am more of a lurker on here and don't often post that much. Haven't really been on in a while but have noticed some old faces don't seem to be on here anymore? Namely Croppie? Did he just up and leave? Used to enjoy watching him shut threads down on people
