Hence me asking. I trained as a plumber three years ago but was then offered a job in the electric industry which I took up so I never had much plumbing experience in systems etc. I know that there is good reason for asking these questions, hence me posting here, I would not fit anything...

No, why?

Hi all, I have been asked to fit a woodburning back burner to a friends workshop and garage. He wants the burner in one room with one radiator and two radiators in another room. Can someone tell me which components will be needed for this install? I would like to know: Is it best to use...

I would rather vote for someone else too but I'd just like to see the award to go to someone other than Ronaldo!

As seen in the Sun newspaper this morning, if you don't want to so Ronaldo get the Gillette Best Young Player Award, then follow the link and vote for Rooney to try and beat him! http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/w/bypa/eligible.html

Hi there, My girlfriend is interested in taking a course to learn how to become a tiler. She wants to learn how to professionally tile kitchens, bathrooms etc including wall and flooring. Are there any professional courses/certificates she can take? I've seen lots of 1-4 week courses on...

Thanks for the reply, I will take a look.

Good point I'll give that a try!

Do you have any mixer taps on the same run, or a mixer shower?

Yea it's the first time I'd ever bought something from there, didn't realise they were lenient on the pricing. Will have to try next time, cheers.

Yes, council employees have always been underpaid, especially so in Cambridgeshire. I'm trying to get a few private jobs through people I know for a starter so I can get a bit more hands on experience, and when I've got the confidence I will advertise locally for some other work, it's a whole...

Yea I went onto Screwfix's website when I got back from Plumb Centre at lunch. It's really easy to use and a lot cheaper, I just thought it would be good to go to Plumb Centre and have a look around as I've never been there before... how wrong I was. Definitely using Screwfix in the future!

I will have a good look around Peterborough at the weekend :wink:

I've been working for my County Council now for five years on rubbish pay and very long days due to travelling and I've finally pulled my finger out to do a job I really like. Last year I completed my Level 2 City & Guilds Heating and Ventillation course and I am now looking for an apprentice...

I'm too late now anyway, in a way it's my own fault for not getting the parts I need sooner as I'm doing the job on Saturday. Has anyone bought those bulk bags of end fittings that are going on Ebay? Just wondered if they're any good?

I can't believe I paid that much money for all those bits, everything was behind the counter and just put in the bag as I asked for it so I couldn't see what the prices were like until I got the total. It takes something like this to realise how much you can waste your money! I've learnt my...

I am very new to all this, still being at college etc and I guess that's just a lesson learnt. I just thought that Plumb Centre would be quite competitive, guess I was wrong! So do you plumbers buy most of your parts from places like ScrewFix?

Just been to Plumb Centre at lunch to get a few bits for a job I'm doing, was expecting to pay about £20 and came out with £53 of stuff! Here's what I bought: Solder Flux Double check valve Isolating valve Outside tap and wall fitting 2 drain valves 3 washing machine taps 20 pipe...

Thanks slippy, that's just the answer I was looking for. Chances are all will be fine as I'm sure all the appliances and taps won't be working at the same time. Cheers mate!
