Help please. My heating system at home is hardly an urgent issue. That said, I've had to admit defeat on how on earth air is getting in! Any ideas welcome. The original pipework on this system was a bit messy and there were some redundant runs, but basically sound as far as I can see. There...

Hi all, This is the internal thread in my tri flow mixer, it is what the filtered water runs through and it also is what locks the tap to the sink. Unfortunately its too short and I don't know a) what it's called and b) how I can order a longer one so I can fit my new tap. Help please

I've heard people say quite a bit recently that a lot of the work for plumbers, gas engineers etc is in gas...i.e. that is where the greatest demand is...can anyone tell me why this is the case? where is the evidence that backs this up? does it depend on the company, or is it the case across the...

Just wondering, where does your forum username come from? I'm sure many, like mine, are just their name. Or perhaps business name. But what about the others?
