Been doing a job at the local replacing some waste pipes and sorting out a few leaks. Sorted out the visible problems which i thought were causing water to run under the floor and down the cellar(behind the bar) from the top step. The floor is ply lined on top of floor boards and water seeps...

Id use hardibacker board or no more ply 6m thick(20mm depth with tile and addy? Take off the plinths finish board and tile underneath plinths doesnt have to be tiled all the way through. Once tiled cut the plinths to size Never used the strips , dont know what water damage your expecting...

Thanks for your reply, knowing my mate it wont have been serviced regularly. If it was the coil would this cause the lock out light to come on after two minutes of running. And then after 45 seconds the next time the boiler is tried? if the answer to this is no would that point to the copper...

Weve run quite a bit of oil through to eliminate any airlocks. When we took the filter off it looked really clear. There was like a plastic rod in the filter which wasnt central to the filter itself it was more to one side. Will try a new filter but if this doesnt work what else could it be...

Triton power shower with no blockage on h or c side and when switched on the pump is working fine. The problem is that no water is coming from the shower. Have read somewhere that it could be a solenoid valve that is stuck but could be something else any info appreciated

Ive been reading threads regarding shower cable size etc and have found differing opinion on certain areas regarding what kw shower can go on what cable. Was led to believe 6mm cable would take up to a 8.5kw shower but a council plumber i know says they wouldnt go over 7.5kw. Just done a couple...
