Hi, We have a 2 metre x 35cm length of solid surface in a shower room. It was supplied by Utopia bathroom furniture. At present there is a built in basin to the right hand side. We are refitting the room and would like to move the basin to the left hand side. This would mean cutting a...

To answer your questions, haven't had the non return valves changed yet, but am definitely going to get this done, as it sounds like an easy one to start with. I am guessing I can't do this myself and need the bathroom fitter to do it? ( I am only a lowly female, so my skills are limited :)...

Once again, thank you very much! It is clear that it is a flow problem, or rather, lack of it. I wish we had fitted a negative head pump, the pump was supplied by the plumber without any discussion. I am wise after the event! I am going to look at all the suggestions and maybe using a...

Thank you so much for some ideas, which I will definitely investigate! The cold water tank in the loft is 8.8 foot above the pump (taken from Techflow engineer report.) the pump is at floor level of the bathroom, so the shower head is probably six foot or so above the pump. I am not sure...

Hi, Sorry to ask about this again, but we still have the problem. As an update, we had Techflow out to look at the pump. They checked the installation and head etc. which was all fine and so exchanged the pump. However, sadly, this has made no difference to the problem, so we are still...

Hi, We had a Techflow 3 bar shower pump fitted a couple of months ago. The pump is fitted at floor level of the first floor about 8 metres from the hot water tank. It supplies an ensuite bathroom. The header tank is above the hot water tank in the loft. When you try to switch the shower...

Hi, Basically, you can have an extractor hood that is larger than your hob or the same size, but not smaller. If you do choose a smaller extractor it will not be able to work properly, so assuming you are buying it for function more than looks, you definitely need one at least as large as...

Thanks so much and apologies for the delay in coming back to you. The walls are brick / block with plasterboard. I think the plasterboard was put on with dot and dab. Hope this helps!

We had a detatched games room built last winter. Unfortunately, there was a delay in the roof going on of about three weeks and the weather at the time was horrendous and very wet. Initially the insulation in the roof was very wet but this has now dried out. However, whilst the walls have...

Now I know I may be opening myself up to ridicule here, as this may be a really dim question, but can you put antifreeze into the heating pipes?

The cottage is not large - it is a small two bedroom bungalow with 5 radiators. The reason it has such a large boiler, is that there is a plan to develop it into a bigger house at some point in the future. The 'groundsman' or more accurately, the 'gardener' looks after 9 acres, though about...

The cottage has its own meter, with a 37kw boiler. Did think at one point we could tap off this. The cottage supply is teed off of the 32mm pipe coming up from the road - it splits with one pipe going to the house, one to the cottage. Air con / heat units could well have been an option -...

Yes, I was going to add that if you see a plume of smoke you will know the problem has gone away! Sorry, I shouldn't joke about this I know!

Just look for a haze of gas vapour along with a buzzing sound from all the gas and electric being consumed and you'll be travelling in the right direction!
