you can check on the gas safe register ask him for a certificate or registration number and why now after job is complete and payment is made,just curious

yeah good idea if you release that prv & try and get rid of that leak sealant you have put on it-its a safety valve for your boiler and protects your system if you block it up and overpressure again just think what it could do to weaker parts of your system if you turn power off (no reason...

hi it sounds like you have a blockage in your soil pipe-check the nearest manhole to the toilet if you have one this might be blocked(saves taking out pan) then if the manhole is ok a good plunge in the toilet with a drain rod or plunger usually unblocks it 98% of time-if toilet is new,has it...

and when you reassemble it-use lubricant and it will come apart easier in future

i would get the plumber back to rectify his problem-or give you the money back you have already paid him from the shower valve to the shower hose outlet fitting- pipe work needs to be checked if buried in wall -cap off shower out let (before hose)and turn on valve- if pumped shower after...
