A friend is having a new kitchen installation and during this he wants a radiator removed but wants some form of heat in the kitchen. The only option is a kick space heater running off his CH system. Now I have never installed one of these so was just wondering what advice you can give me, I do...

Just used some of my own screws/plugs m8, took me 15mins to get to the house, but it did take me most of the day to do tbh. System was a bitch to drain and refill, and getting all the rads working again took longer than i had anticipated. (

Did a job yesterday for a customer which involved puting in some new rads. Customer bought the rads/fittings etc and 3 brand new rads ( though initially it was only 2 rads they wanted done). Drained the primatic heating system down, installed rads, refilled system and made sure all rads where...

Going to remove some old twin entry valved rads this weekend and the system they have is a primatic. Only done this once before and luckily there where no issues. Any advice (just in case) on refilling this system should i get problems?. More worried but getting an air lock more than anything...

So just to clarify the removal of the 2 single panel rads and the fitting of the 2 new double panel rads will not burst the " bubble " upon refilling?. What joy this is going to be draining down as from what he says there are no drain offs at all, with all connections being twin entry valves...

Pretty sure twgas. Looking at the cylinder we have the cold feed from the tank in the roofspace, hotwater pipe via the top of this which vents over the top of the water tank. 2 tappings on the right of the cylinder flow/return from boiler. Off the boiler we have gas into, 2 tappins for the...

What are the tell tale signs of a single feed indirect system please. I beleive its the absence of the small header tank for the ch side of the system. Friend wants two radiators with twin entry valves replaced for two new doubles. I am concerned that the extra volume of water in the system...

My friends motherinlaw recently had some bathroom taps changed. They isolated the cold feed to the hot water cylinder and turned off the incomming cold main. She is telling my mate that the hot runs ok for a small period of time then trickles out to basically nothing. I think there is a air lock...

I am wondering if anyone can help me with a problem that the washing machine as developed this afternoon. It is an Hotpoint WF240 and the problem seems to be that when you select a program it just goes straight to illuminate the wash display and there it stays, No movement in the drum, no...

Went to try and fix a hig level cistern today and came across an old Lowley ( or similar name ) syphon. Due to the fact i was unable to isolate the water supply i was unable to do the job today. Are there spare diaphragms available for these, if not what material do you use to make your own...

agree its quite expensive, but i always seem to have trouble in obtaining a good even cut, with no chamfered edges.

Been thinking of getting myself a set of these : http://www.screwfix.com/prods/85661/Hand-Tools/Plumbing-Tools/Pipe-Cutters/Plasticut-Waste-Pipe-Cutter-Kit-1-1-4-1-1-2-2 Anyone bought this product, if so any thoughts on them?. Thought they would be really handy.

As the dining room/conservatory rads perform very poorly i would suggest you try and balance your system. Turn off all the rads in the house except the conservatory. Switch on heating and wait until the rad warms up, then gradually work your way around the house opening the rad valves just a...
