thanks for your help.....pondering my next move.......

i have done a compression repair on a copper water pipe....which is why i am considering doing this...would a plumber charge £25 £50 £100 or more??? why is pushfit a no no with gas??

i have turned the gas off so can wait...but im getting cold and smelly, this happened on saturday....would this be repaired with a compression fit??? i am in brighton!

i have put a nail through a 22mm gas pipe under my floor boards! i have lifted the floor boards and exsposed the pipe ready for repair, if i call out a plumber...what it a reasonable charge to expect and am i able to claim from my contents or building insurance?????

i have noticed?..i want to let my flat but need heating and hot water, gas or electric i'm not fussed!! its looking like electrics the way forward... gas is expensive, carbon monoxide sensors and maintainence etc problem solving is a problem! i can change a fuse myself!!!

cool!

and fit a shower and how much? _____________________________ lynda, moderator please note forum rule 9

i :roll:

i recognize british gas's style...big bills, a big load of b*ll&cks, shareholders etc any contacts for me? any ideas agile? i would love you to be right!

so i go all electric then?? my next move is spending money on... tank + immersion 3 night storage heaters new CU electric shower all fitted and connected, how much ?(small flat!)

is there a possablity that this could be fixed for a reasonable price or is it a new boiler...boiler too old for service cover..british gas said £3500 for a new boiler though im not a mug...i hear illogical rubbish everyday! im reluctant to buy a new boiler...would love to see old one working...

had similar problem with my car, the catalyst convertor had failed...probably would have been picked up on...but common on your type of car at this age!

yes, they came out within one hour when i enquired about the pilot light they said its a commen problem, my 2 neighboors have slightly thicker pipes. if i leave the heating on and it has reached the desired tempurature the combi will go into pause mode...when it decides to come back on it...
