Thanks, I have had the hot water on for 20 minutes now and the pressure has maintained 1 bar. I have just put on the heating as well to test. Really odd that this would be so loose when the vent is positioned out of the way. I guess pressurised systems may loosen thumb tight screws over time...

Lost water pressure to the boiler. When topping up the water the pressure dropped very quickly - within about 30 seconds. I checked for visible leaks at boiler and rads - none. Had a closer inspection and saw slight leak around the screw cap in pictures. The screw cap was quite loose. I...

I have bought a refurbished controller unit for my Aqualisa Quartz gravity pumped unit. I am fine with the electrical connections but wondering how exactly I remove the old unit from the inlet/outlet pipes. Looks like they go into pushfit plastic isolation valves but unsure how to detach from...

Just had a new bathroom fitted and i know the new rad was turned off at some point. Heating is now on and the rad is cold. the rad is bled until water comes out the top - the valve is still in there. Does something need doing with the valves at the bottom? one just turns and the other has a...

Quick update... Builder came round accepts all responsibility.ordered new bath and tiles and rip all out and start again. Wickes also came round and agreed. They said to give him one chance to put it right and the area installation manager will be making regular visits throughout. The original...

You can have a look at the video of 5 days worth of work here. Any other issues spotted let me know. Much appreciated.

If i remember the short white vertical pipe was the overflow wast from previous toilet

Thanks adds more ammo when wickes come round tomorrow. I put a post on the tiling forum as well and had a lot of responses like this there. Good to get the plumbing side of things. Look at the FFL. The floor SFL on the previous bath install was same as adjoining room and good nick. Think...

I am a customer having issues with a contractor supplied Wickes bathroom install and just getting a few of my points together when the area manager arrives tomorrow. A few plumbing issues are: The hot water is via a gravity fed stored hot water tank. System boiler in the loft. Bathroom on...

One quick question, the hot water is via a gravity fed stored hot water tank. System boiler in the loft. Bathroom on first floor, Stored hot water tank on same floor, cold tank one floor up in loft. Should they of fit full bore isolation valves. The hot water in the bathroom was never that...

Not saying I don't want him to continue but I want Wickes to look at the work first. Had a great install with the kitchen 18 months ago so have faith in the company. Some of the benefits using wickes is that you don't have to reference tradesman check qualifications etc. You expect their...

Will do thanks for your help.had the builder saying he had a call from from Wickes and he wants to come round and make everything right but have said no as we want Wickes to inspect before he touches anything. He wants his tools back though which is awkward. Think he wants to get here before...

I asked for it to be one tile along the worktop before they started. I was not told about the slither until the very end. Think it was one of the last bits tiled. I am obviously not a tiler so I had not idea there would be such a big skirting, or told where the full tiles would be. Obviously at...

Phoned up the sales rep this morning and he said it sounds like work needs to stop. He is contacting the area installation manager to come round asap begining next week. I will prob tell the builders not to come on Monday. Have send email to him with photos and will follow up with a recorded...

ok think i should get wickes to come out and have a look at the progress...
