And you call him a plumber? 4 Hours and still not resolved? (I hope you didn't pay him).he doesn't know how to sweat the joint & also doesn't know anyone who can do it

no i wouldn't do it my self i'd get a plumber from down the road who i know to do it for me.
i've look again and realised its at the join between lead and copper pipe-ing, this aproblem?
any thing else i could use until i can afford a refit
Lotsofleaks said:How true. Thanks for the advice - - it's illegal (you'd have thought I was asking him to sell me his grandmother)....It is, but not as illegal as illegal gas work!!!! Glad you got it sorted....Ps. you don`t sweat solder on lead..you wipe a joint with grade D solder and a moleskin cloth (not the skin of a mole) ...Yet another useless skill I was taught @ college
