Thanks, will take a look, I thought there were some additional O rings maybe :) Robert

Hi I offered to fix a friends (very!) leaky ballcock. I can't read the manufacturer on it - can anyone identify it and where I could get spares? If not a suitable simple replacement (has an offset at the bottom).

Thanks everyone, will try the photocell on the weekend and let you know how it goes! Robert

Hi Just visiting an empty property we have and the boiler seems to have an issue. The oil boiler is run by an Inspire Home Automation thermostat which was set to keep the house at 14 degrees and bring the heating on for an hour a day regardless to heat water -.just to keep system running...

Hi I just purchased a Milwaukee M12HPT Hydraulic Press Tool and was looking for some opinions before buying jaws for it - been struggling to find a huge amount of information on the internet! I really don't want to buy multiple sets of jaws, would prefer to stick to one profile, but there seems...

Looks like it could be this one https://www.plumbarena.co.uk/product/dab-evosta-circulating-pump-evosta/?gclid=CjwKEAjwueytBRCmpOyZ2L-xrG8SJADwH5c6bs6Y0Cn4I0wYwOU7Hpz9AA1kP9Z-6vkta_aepu-8dRoClx7w_wcB#.VbwMv25Viko If so, it would have a cast iron construction. Robert

Thanks, will check tmrw.

Will take some additional pictures tmrw evening :) I think it's genuinely a case of them 'not having a clue' as they haven't yet been paid a penny! Robert

Yikes! What would cause that, someone switching the stopcock off, as in there should be no need/ability for that to be there? Robert

MJGas - I'm not sure what you mean by a 'bronze' pump, is that a type, colour, make? Thanks Robert

What are the implications of this making it urgent? Thanks Robert

Thanks for the advice Simon, I agree it seems a sensible step. Not aware of any completed paperwork, certainly none that was left behind. Robert

Certainly sounds like they may need a second opinion then! There are two valves by the boiler, must be them that are causing the issue then. Really dissapointed to hear that, I was hoping it may have been a simple mistake! Unfortunately, these guys were more local. Your blig makes...

I *think* it's floating! I believe the wallpaper is just coming back into fashion ;)

Thanks for your response Simon. What are the implications of the 300mm and 600mm not been met? There are a couple of red valves which you can see at the top, right front which aren't in the picture, might they be the auto bypass valves? I wasn't aware the bottom half of the tank wasn't...

Anyone have any thoughts? Robert

The forum seems to have re-sized the image, making it more difficult to see, full size version here http://postimg.org/image/6eixl6nj1/ Thanks Robert

Hi My parents recently had their central heating completely upgraded from an old oil boiler and cylinder installation, installed circa 25 years ago to a new more energy efficient oil boiler (Worcester Greenstar Danesmoor 25/32) with an un-vented Tempest mains pressure hot water cylinder, there...

Apologies for the delayed reply, it's taken me a while to get down to the job! So, I've taken out most of the concrete floor now as I've got closer to the edge of the internal wall I was been more careful as not to damage the membrane. At this point I am fairly close to one of the internal...

Thanks for your response Ree Correct, it laps up external walls and under internal as one slab, I think your approach of the Kangol is best as ther is least chance of damaging thee membrane. I agree, it does look like a 'bodge job', once I have broken the slab up, will be able to check...
