Is there anything that can be done to help prevent condensation forming on a cistern? The old cistern was plastic but the new one is porcelain and apparantly (its at my grans house) is condensating quite badly Cheers

Cheers Guys. Its from Plumbline. Usually go there and try to keep up with prices from elsewhere. We don't buy large quantities regularly so I was just wondering how those prices compared with anyone on here that buys more regular. It was one of those times when you are expecting them to...

Bought a bunch of stuff today. All the individual prices add up but the total was a bit more than I had expected :shock: How do these prices compare? 100m 22mm barrier pipe @ £176.90 100m 15mm barrier pipe @ £92.83 3m 15mm copper @ £3.75 3m 22mm copper @ £7.50 22mm elbow @ £1.50...

Good point, I'm not 100% sure, but shower is a mixer and sink is individual taps. All hot water run straight from boiler, no external pumps.

Sorry Swidders I should have been clearer. They say the water is flowing fine but is luke warm at best. At the other taps it's hot as it should be.

I'm keeping an eye on a mates flat (maintenance wise) whilst he is travelling. The folks renting the flat phoned to say the boiler had locked therefore no heating and no hot water. My mate has a cover policy with BG to cover the boiler and they came and sorted it (I think it was a problem...

Bite the bullet and buy an Oven with a smaller rating that is more suitable for your current situation

Get out there and spend £30 on conduit and run the cables through it.

Got called yesterday from a customer in a panic yesterday. The bathroom upstairs had sprung a (bad) leak. I'm not a plumber but was called to help in a panic ie switch water off, isolate leak etc meantime. Anyway the water was following its normal course along the downstairs ceiling and...

225mm is plenty. 150mm is the norm. Trust your builder :D

Sounds good to me :lol: They will be fitted. BCO stated clearly that they are required. I wont question the bricky either, maybe he just dont fancy it, but he is a good guy and his team are damn fine brickys too. Personally I've never encountered them so I've been reading up on how...

We are currently building an extension for a client. Its a pitched roof single storey extension meeting a vertical existing wall to the rear of the property. Inside there will be two openings from existing house to extension (ie two spots where dampness would be a problem in the cavity...

And make sure the power is off!

Just out of interest. Whats the consequence of running an appliance that is in theory too big for the breaker protecting the circuit. Reason I ask is that I was asked if I could fix an electric shower that wasn't operating properly. It wouldn't switch on because it had been poorly fitted...

Cheers. This would be a stand alone seperate from the heating system. Good point about replacing the element only should it fail.

Does anyone have any experience of Electric Towel Rads compared with 'traditional' towel rads fitted with an element and filled with water. Is one better or more efficient that the other?

You are right Softus, cheers. My dad never took deposits, always obtaining his work on goodwill. I always said to him to get some money up front but he did it his way. SInce I have started working I now know the value of goodwill with customers and not asking for money up front helps with...

Thanks for the comments Gents. Its extremely infuriating and sole destroying. We are genuine workers who always complete work to the best of our ability. Before this we never had any issues with customers and always leave jobs on almost friendly terms with them. Sadly this has made me doubt...

I saw a black earth sleeve in a socket I loosened off the wall the other week. That would sure confuse a DIYer :lol:

Might even be the same company skinning ya twice :lol:
