Service valves,isolating valves or ball valves look like this http://www.screwfix.co.uk/prods/67670/Plumbing/Brassware/Isolating-Valve-15mm They are used to isolate the main supply of water hot or cold from the plumbing maintenance or repair you need to do.They have compression fittings either...

Hi Moghm,taps look ok from Lidl.The 2nd hole in your sink can be blocked with a tap hole stopper from Screwfix.I would also buy a pair of flexi tap tails as they are much easier to fit than a solder joint,especially under the sink.Don't forget to fit your service valves for future maintenance...

Ok now i know which valve you mean.Can switch hot water off on timer control box inside airing cupboard.Hope that works.Cheers.

Hi Alan,i checked motorized valve and can feel the needle move when switched between hot water and heating so i feel that is ok.Which hot water valve is that :?

Hi,i've just fitted an additional radiator for a relative.Drained down the indirect system ok,fitted rad,refilled system and bled radiators.Now i cannot get the rads to heat up even though the hot water is ok.Have drained about 5 buckets of water out of system trying to dislodge any airlocks...

Better off using 40mm diamond core drill and HDS drill.Will make the job a lot easier.

If there is a sliding float on the inlet valve make sure it is not sticking against the side of the cistern.

Are you sure you have a close coupled toilet as they usually sit quite close to the back wall.The cistern sits directly onto the back of the pan.If the cistern is about 18 inches above the pan and connected by a 90 degree pipe these are called low level.

Hi Dave.Just put in a search on Google and found quite a few 2 metre shower hoses.

Hi DJM.Just a pointer for you.Measure the actual area to be tiled eg;height of area x length or area.Most good tilers will quote about £25 - £30 per square metre.Then on top they will charge for adhesive and grout.

Thanks again Lancenotalot. Just seen these http://stores.ebay.com/THK-Diamond-Tools

Cheers Lancenotalot,do you know anywhere in the UK that sell the same drill bits.

Hi,i have just tiled our shower enclosure using satin white tiles which were advertised as wall or floor tiles.They seem to be a lot harder than normal wall tiles.I am having problems drilling holes in the tiles for the shower head sliding rail and shower door.I have broken 2 tile drills and...
