wow £75?? mind you i guess you get what you pay for... do it yourself and risk doing it wrong and getting more problems lol thanks for your help and advice

it seems to only leak when i have the tap running... since hubby has had a fiddle around under there tightening things that appeared loose etc, i now have no pressure in my hot water tap lol luckily i have a neighbour who is a plumber - how much should i expect to pay for him to install a...

thanks for your help... it is an odd arrangement i expected to find just a hot/cold pipe going up to the tap. do you think having a new mixer tap installed would solve the problem?

can anyone explain what the middle connection is - this is a picture from under my kitchen sink, it appears to be leaking down the sides of it... but don't know what it is - is it the base of the mixer tap??? any help appreciated... have had a plumber look under there but he told me it's just...

New owner to a house with a 4 year old Maycross Heritage 4 piece bath shower combination. My problem is that when you run the tap - the shower head leaks too, - have taken bath panel off and just wondere dif anyone out there could let me know what might be the problem and how best to fix...

Thanks for your reply. I turned off the boiler immediately - hopefully no major damage has occurred as pilot light was on for 24 hrs before i did this. Managed to find the problem with the immersion - it had tripped it's fuse. This is now fixed. Thanks once again!

Hubby knocked bracket off radiator whilst doing DIY (lol) and radiator valve started leaking, to cut a long story short we have decided now is the time to replace our old imperial radiators so until plumber can come and do this for us and to stop the leak - hubby has drained central heating...

Yes that is the one which has been installed. Someone with 40 yrs plumbing experience has advised that we should have a valve fitted so that the air can be bled from the pipes. (or something along those lines) We are going with this advice, and hopefully it shall all be remedied. Thanks...

Tony - I'm feeling a little attacked by the words you use. Our cylinder was leaking and our dining room ceiling fell down - our plumber friend investigated and found the cylinder was cracked. HE chose the cylinder - WE merely paid for it and picked it up. Equally, we didn't know it was only...

We paid £170 for the cylinder £30 for the immersion and he charged us £90 to fit. Obviously we thought that would be it - we didn't dream that when that was all done it would leave us with this problem. The trouble we have now is that this fella is really hard to get a hold of (even though he...

is having the system converted to pumped HW a big/expensive job? would it be better if i just got a new boiler perhaps?

the cylinder we had fitted is an RM Indirect Copper Cylinder 900 x 450mm - if that's any help... thanks

Is that a likely possibility - it's an indirect cylinder? Thanks for your post though - will get hubby to speak to the plumber and see if this is a possibility.... This is a total nightmare though - you would think the original plumber would have known this when fitting the new immersion

Recently had a new immersion and cylinder fitted as the old cylinder had split. Since this has been done we seem to have an airlock in the hotwater pipes of the back boiler. We can feel where the pipes are scorching hot and then become cold. If i use the immersion I can obviously get hot...

is it fair to say that heat proof wood paint does not exist then? lol
