hopefully i'm not getting paranoid but what happens to the flux inside the gas pipe?have heard stories that it may corrode it over time

the guy came today and heated the pipe up and everything working fine,said it must have been flux.

the guy did seem to use a lot of flux as i had to clean it off.He also used solder fittings which he must have added quite abit extra as the pipe is coated with a good inch below fitting

had it altered by a gas safe plumber.He said,over the phone,that it would have a better supply than previously.He's coming out to take a look tomorrow

is it possible for a soldered joint to partially block a gas pipe reducing pressure?my cooker has a very limited gas pressure and will only give a very low flame.A t was taken from the boiler supply and now theres hardly any pressure.Boiler works fine

Havent got rcds only rewireable fuses.i know the gas meter goes to the earth terminal and the ring and lightining circuit but nothing else.

Ive noticed my boilers pipes are crossed bonded but when looking further the earth wire is cut and doesnt go anywhere.there is a fused switch to the boiler and was wondering if it was ok to to wire it to the earth in there as i cant get it back to the consumer unit without ripping the house apart

is it ok to earth bond pipework to a socket instead of running it back to a consumer unit?

Is there anyway you can test the auto air vent is working on a combi? i can hear air in the boiler as it fires up to heat the water but disappears after a few seconds.i'm sure the the vent isnt removing the air

wasn't after anyone calculating a beam.There is no load bearing wall above and was thinking of doing it as a precaution as i'm not sure the joists at 7"x2"x14ft would be sufficient.

hi, i'm thinking about removing a wall in my kitchen but see the joists above rest on them.The joists go full length,14ft,but rest about 6ft along on a wall seperating two parts of my kitchen.The joists measure 7"x2" and the wall to be taken down is 8ft wide. Will i need to put up an rsj and if...
