Many thanks to all and all the best for Xmas

Thanks guys, just to answer most or all 1) The raised garden level is permanent as in a new lawn. 2) The saving could be his but he says his price was based on this due to limited access for moving off the property 3) I've told him to bank the soil away from the fence so no contact. But is...

Yes my Builder is dumping tons of earth from my extension dig and raising my back lawn making it several feet above my neighbours gardens, they are complaining that it affects their garden privacy and drainage and it should be skipped, one says that his fence is not a retaining wall so shift it...

After the flush was rising in the pan before going away slowly,I tried to rod from the inspection chamber 10 yards from the soil stack but I couldn't get the rods up more than a few feet and the 5 ft chamber and my 68 years defeated me so I got a drain company who cleared and camera'd (very...

The size of the glands to weather seal the cable needs to match the outer diameter of the cable surely. My query is since the cable is 12.4mm diameter and no junction/joint with that size other than 10mm / 15mm what is wrong

I've got 4 core armoured cable for a garden shed run but the cables outside diameter is 12.3 mm and the only junction boxes and joints are 10mm and I think 15mm. What am I doing wrong ? Thanks

Not my concrete

As said, screwed or glued fixing through or to pvc cladding seems too fragile, any history of success ?

Yes that's about right, don't know why their service man last year didn't know the 3A / 5A potential problem. Their excuse seems to be that our kitchen fitters had boxed it in restricting access. The Boiler is a combi Ideal approx 12 years old, not home so can't give model No.

Yes new boiler advised. He spent about 2 hours and the boiler only stayed on for 20 seconds then off. He said the cost of finding, fixing and replacing possible damage to the circuit boards could end up more than a new boiler and my old boiler may not last even after if the fix was found, the...

Just realised problem when heating didn't come this morning it was fine last night. Boiler wouldn't switch back on. The boiler is fitted inside a kitchen unit, that's why he was whinging about access to sort it but I thought that the fuse was there to protect any appliance not kill it.

No surprise, I've been advised that they are crap

Don't know, boiler was in when bought the house 5 years ago, BGas reckon 10 years old.

Should have been 3amp, they serviced Nov 2024 no faults, so whos fault, they say access was a problem, now I've got a 2 grand problem.

Yes I know this question is donkeys years old on here. BUT no clear answers, Chemists or Plumbers welcome, not the clown who fitted mine as he's gone to Thailand, best place for him. 1) My brand new sealed pressurised Combi system has no leaks but seems to replace any air I bleed away just on...
