    Hole in soil pipe, would this cause a slow flush?

    Did you try the mop in a plastic bag thing? Pan should have plenty of water in for this.

    Wet brickwork around soil vent pipe

    Could it be not damp but an area of brickwork came loose when soil was drilled and was bricked up again? Is there a joint in the soffit above this area and water is penetrating the roof and running down the soffit to the join?

    That hole has probably been there for a while and only leaking now because of the blockage. Mend the hole and you may clear it with a plunger or a mop with a plastic bag over it.

    Gas Pipe size questions

    I am a couple of tenths above your calc, different tables and as you say that tee could be relevant.

    Just make sure that your hole is deep enough, put plugs in, put pan in place and plastic liner in hole in pan. Screw nut onto threaded part, put screw through pan and into plug then screw it into plug till tight.

    Strange gas pressure drop

    Strange gas pressure drop

    Running at max rate will require a tap or 2 to be open though

    Strange gas pressure drop

    He didn't say 3.7m3h he said 37m3h. I suspect that he meant 37kw and this is the figure that he got off the data plate. You could gas rate it yourself and post the result here. Run at maximum (have a tap or 2 open), take a meter reading and after 2 minutes take another reading.

    Strange gas pressure drop

    37 m3hr may have a missing decimal point or perhaps he forgot to change it to 37kw. Seems a more likely mistake to me and possibly it wasn't gas rated. Does 22mm go all the way to the boiler?

    Concealed cistern

    Not something (bit of the old flush valve washer) gone down the flush- pipe and partly blocking the entry?

    Electrical Issue With Central Heating

    If that brown is connected to Earth as it seems to be then changing it to Live would not be a good idea without altering other connections. You appear to have L & N into that switch and just the blue wire leaving it. so no N to system. This does not make sense as you say that the valve operates...

    Recommendations on a Macerator?

    I always print this out when asked to fit one: My recently installed Saniflo does not behave as described in the user manual. On flushing the WC it's supposed to run continuously for about 15 seconds, mine pulses on-off 3 or 4 times for about 2-3 seconds duration. Any ideas? Peter replied...
