to be honest do more heating and gas than plumbing, but a friend has asked me to look at a power shower that someone else had fitted about 6 mths ago which is not working. apparently when you turn the taps on, the pump iS heard to run, but the water will run for about 20seconds then stop...

Just been told that many installers in my area are now fitting gloworm vertical roof terminals onto vaillant boilers since they are more robust. I have not started doing this yet, but need to consider reconfiguring my flue for an extension, and since the gloworm is cheaper was wondering if the...

Well, overheard someone today saying that they placed the analyser probe in the primary flue for an open flued boiler. When I last did me assessment they said after the draft diverter if possible. Has anyone been told anything to clarify.

Customer complaining on Luke warm hot water. On arrival checked for diverter valve problems. Seemed ok. Plated heat exchanger had been changed two years ago so ruled that out for now. Checked gas rate of meter with hot water demand,, that was fine at 21mbars. Then with water control up high...

Well, I quoted a price of £50.00 to do a landlords, with three appliances. Was agreed, but then got a call back to say they had sorted it for £35.00. What on earth do they do for £35.00. On a second job I quoted £120 to fit a new fire to a solid fuel fireplace. And onto a plugged gas point three...
