Is there anything that can be done to help prevent condensation forming on a cistern? The old cistern was plastic but the new one is porcelain and apparantly (its at my grans house) is condensating quite badly Cheers

Cheers Guys. Its from Plumbline. Usually go there and try to keep up with prices from elsewhere. We don't buy large quantities regularly so I was just wondering how those prices compared with anyone on here that buys more regular. It was one of those times when you are expecting them to...

Bought a bunch of stuff today. All the individual prices add up but the total was a bit more than I had expected :shock: How do these prices compare? 100m 22mm barrier pipe @ £176.90 100m 15mm barrier pipe @ £92.83 3m 15mm copper @ £3.75 3m 22mm copper @ £7.50 22mm elbow @ £1.50...

Good point, I'm not 100% sure, but shower is a mixer and sink is individual taps. All hot water run straight from boiler, no external pumps.

225mm is plenty. 150mm is the norm. Trust your builder :D

Sounds good to me :lol: They will be fitted. BCO stated clearly that they are required. I wont question the bricky either, maybe he just dont fancy it, but he is a good guy and his team are damn fine brickys too. Personally I've never encountered them so I've been reading up on how...

We are currently building an extension for a client. Its a pitched roof single storey extension meeting a vertical existing wall to the rear of the property. Inside there will be two openings from existing house to extension (ie two spots where dampness would be a problem in the cavity...

And make sure the power is off!

Just out of interest. Whats the consequence of running an appliance that is in theory too big for the breaker protecting the circuit. Reason I ask is that I was asked if I could fix an electric shower that wasn't operating properly. It wouldn't switch on because it had been poorly fitted...

Cheers. This would be a stand alone seperate from the heating system. Good point about replacing the element only should it fail.
