    Bath panel magnets

    Hi. I'm fitting a decent weight bath panel with it's own seperate plinth. I have the plinth already in place and a side of frame. This is where the main panel will sit. It came with screws to attach the panel to the plinth but I was wondering if I could use magnets instead. If so, what sort of...

    Universal click waste in place of pop up?

    Hi. My daughter has a pop up waste in her house ( the one where you press a lever behind the taps) but the pop up system doesn't work. She has to take the plug physically out to empty the sink. Before I replace it for a new one could one of these universal pop up plugs just be dropped into the...

    Blanking off a t joint. Is thus the correct cap?

    Hi. I've moved some bathroom taps and would like to cap off the old T. Does the cap just screw on or does it need an olive? I think no olive as no pipe coming out. Should I use compound or tape or neither? Thanks for replies. I've enclosed pics.

    Fitting a toilet to the waste

    I am currently doing up our bathroom and the new toilet is to be up against a vanity unit. The current toilet waste goes into the floor. Luckily there is plenty of room for the waste and the cabinet. I'm just unsure what waste pipe to get. I'm thinking I need a flexi pipe for ease. Would it just...

Her boiler seems constantly on trying to get to thermostat temperature. I'm going to change them for her and was thinking about a straight swap for a 21. However I was...

    New combi boiler. Prv pipe not outside

    Hello My mother in law has just had a new combi boiler fitted in the laundry room and her prv pipe just drops down from the boiler and stops about 60cm above the floor. That's it. It doesn't go outside or into the condensate pipe using a tundish. Just a straight cut off pipe aimed at the floor...

    Is a 22mm differential valve the same as a 22mm bypass valve

    I need to swap over my bypass valve and just wondered if the differential valve is the same thing? Basically it sits between flow and return of the two manifolds in my bore system! It has been leaking and the pipes are extremely hot after the bypass valve meaning water is getting through, this...

    Is the boiler I've been quoted too big?

    HI We are getting rid of a Ferrolli combi and want to replace it with a Worcester boiler! We used Worcesters site and got a couple of quotes! The first guy recommended a 29cdi. I was discussing with the 2nd guy how we currently don't get much pressure on our shower and taps so he suggested a...

    Quick question I'm sure you'll know the answer to!

    On my combi boiler, if my diverter valve was sticking or not moving as freely as it should be, could that cause some of my rads to heat and some of them to stay cold? Or is it one or the other? Having probs with 2 cold rads and have tried everything and now after days of googling it seems it...

    Help with leaking boiler please.

    Hi, I've noticed over the last few days my boiler has been losing pressure and just had a look and there is a slight drip coming from underneath the boiler (see pic) It is leaking right where the red knob joins the metal! I have tried tightening the screw but it still drips. The boiler works...
