    plumbing

    Unfortunately Jimmy, you've got no chance. Unless you've done really badly at school, have a criminal record and need to be 're-introduced to society' or have been claiming benefits since you learnt how to masturbate; you're not getting an apprenticeship. :lol: No, on a more serious...

    New boiler installation

    Giggsy, don't take offence. We just don't like people doing what your doing. Good luck in finding someone. I'd even say, do you not speak to anyone from College? from your old course? or have you got a 'mate' who's GSR'd? Meh. I wouldn't touch it with oot myself. But good luck.

    Sack the plumber!

    :lol: - I use this exact same tale in my Teaching. Anyway, in reference to everything else, write him a letter, and contact the relevant Governing Bodies. He's registered as a Competent Person, and thus they must be informed. Other than that, you seem to know whats wrong, why not fix...

    Old combi losing pressure - advice sought

    The 3 you called won't be interested because there's not much money in it. I'll ask a friend at work if he's interested. I'd do it myself but I go I'm off on Holiday for a week :lol: TBH, it's a fairly easy job to do. You'd probably be able to do it yourself, using compression...

    Gas analyser

    SPRINT V2 are probably one of the best... Although.... KANE do a fairly average one, its simple to use and I do believe they are currently offering fixed calibration fee's of £85 a year? And with regards to CPA1 Training; Greater Manchester SkillCentre - Trafford Park, Manchester - 0161...

    Sack the plumber!

    1. 25% more expensive NEVER = a 25% better job. You've based having work done on entirely the wrong ethos. You should have asked for references, a portfolio of work and a suggested plan of action. If you're willing to spend a lot of money, you deserve the above. You deserve somebody spending...

    Central Heating Electrical Fault.

    Meant to say 'other than above... Schematics are ok. Test some wires with a mulitmeter' If the RS isn't causing the short; there's a short somewhere else. But I imagine, as you've mentioned, it may well be that.

    advice on best boiler please

    There's a list of manufacturers as long as our arms, but it's all down to what heat you require, what you have to spend, and what you'd like to have. As newgas says, Vaillant/Baxi are decent brands. Baxi/Potterton/Main are pretty much the same company, and there range of boilers are pretty...

    pricing for full central heating system??

    The price is either here nor there... What actually matters are the following points; Did you like the Engineer's who have quoted you? Were they friendly, approachable, trustworthy? Have you seen any of their previous work? Did the quote meet your expectation(s)? Is the quote...

    advice on best boiler please

    You've come to the right place for advice, but the wrong place for an unbiased opinion :lol: Every brand have their ups&downs but it all boils down to how much you have to spend. You say you're having one installed? - Hasn't the engineer already quoted for a specific boiler? :?

    Central Heating Electrical Fault.

    Recommend A New Shower To Run Directly Off A Combi...

    It will be, more or less, exactly as we have all stated here... Tradesmen Nationwide may sound different, and to some instance, carry out their profession in a not-so-similar way... But for the most-part, we're all the same. If there is currently no shower, and you want one, you have 2...

    Whole new central heating system

    Prices will vary depending on where you are in the country... I don't particularly like to give numbers on the internet, but what I will say is, in Greater Manchester you are more likely to get it done for less than you are in Kent. On average, a Boiler is going to cost anything from £700...

    Recommend A New Shower To Run Directly Off A Combi...

    I'm with ADL... As somebody who has spent endless hours in peoples homes at unsociable hours, because they 'have got work tomorrow, and need some hot water'... I'd recommend sticking to an electric. They aren't the greatest:- They don't get very warm and they cost a bomb to run... but if...

    Old Boiler not firing up

    Muggles, I'm confused. The title of this topic is 'Old boiler not firing up'... Prior to changing the Thermocouple, was the Pilot light still on? because there's a possibility you didn't need to change it. I'm also beginning to think you changed the pilot light yourself? Did this...

    GAS FLUE

    What's stopping you putting the boiler somewhere else? Like, at the FRONT of the property? Such as, on the opposite side of the flat? on an outer wall? or do you have a loft? The only implications you face are getting your pipework to it (Gas, Water & Rads) and installing new 'pipework'...
