Hi Not sure which catergory this would go under. Does anyone know how to clean the tube/nozzle of expanding foam cans? [if its possible]. I'm fed up with throwing away half full cans because the nozzle is blocked from a previous use. Any advise gratefully received. Cheers B2W

Hi I'm fitting a new radiator / towel warmer in the bathroom. My existing central heating is plastic pipework but I want to have the visible rising pipes in chrome. My question is this, when connecting the pipes should I connect the chrome pipe into a plastic elbow bend or should I fit a...

New to me. House was built about 96 / 97

I recently moved to a new [to me] house and the central heating / domestic water system is all plastic pipework, something I'm not that familiar with. From reading other topics I see that it is acceptable to connect copper pipes to the plastic system. My question is this. When making a...

Hi John Sorry to hear your having this problem. I'm afraid I can't help as the problem never did get sorted. The company won out in the end by doing the usual delaying tactics relying on me to just go away. Which I'm ashamed to say I did I was just too busy to keep chasing it up. Its funny...

Its called a cowl [round these parts anyway] most roofing supply merchants should stock them

Have just received the replacement injectors from Sabaf. I'll let you know what happens when the engineer comes out yet AGAIN to fit them.

The first engineer tried that one, didn't work so he sent off for a new one but this made no difference. Have been in touch with Sabaf and they think it may be the injectors. They have been very helpful which is more than can be said for New world who are trying to wash their hands of it :x !!!

Was it out of normal working hours? If so you could have charged time and a turd :D [I'll get mi coat]

No the others are either larger or smaller. They did at first send out a spare burner and skirt but this made no difference When the engineer came out [the fourth time!!] and told me the sound was normal I said if so then make one of the others whistle. He tried but was unable to. Oh he says...
