    Help wanted on a leaking draincock (?)

    Drain down or vaccum lock it. Remove innards including the old washer which will most likely need prising out... You can use a long screw to go through the hole and grip it to aid removal. Replace washer or buy a new drain cock and harvest the innards.

    Why is my mains pipe going up the 1st floor?

    Don't use a grinder. Hacksaw or plastic pipe cutters. It's soft.

    Gas wall heater lighting

    Heat Loss - Pen & Paper Check

    Not really double. There's a factoring equation and a lot of rad manufacturers now provide a range of flow temps with their rad specs, so you only need to know your flow temp (TRT/MWT) Heat pumps with low flow temps (below 55°C) have been successfully installed in properties with high heat...

    Pressure Relief Valve Pipe Discharging internally

    Use a compression elbow (or coupling) internally. Some manufacturers specify this and it's also easier to check for let by if prv fails. Externally, I use 2 elbows and cut the lower socket off the 2nd elbow, it looks neater... The gap from wall should be same size as diameter of pipe.

    Concealed cistern toilet

    Yep. And tank is fully sealed. Sometimes takes a bit of krypton factor to get them out and back in but you soon learn the right wiggle being an engineer!

    Government are finally starting to understand that banning gas for existing dwellings is a long way off, but you can bet that they will increase it's cost and most likely transfer the current levy on electricity to it in the not too distant future!
