I couldnt get myself to rip people off. Even charging a fair price would mean i'm charging a lot less then a lot of these repair men do. is this the place called "Howdeez?" American style diner?

Agile sorry to say but most boiler repair men are crooks. I know a very good family friend who is a boiler/bg engineer and he has shown me just how they rip people off and just how easy and quick many of these repairs are. I personally would never ever call a guy up from yellow pages. I'm...

sorry i meant home owner, wants work for a rental property. This will not include ANY materials, this is only the labour charge. The suit is about £300 from BnQ. Ideally i'd want about 150 a day.

cheap old 3 peice suite taken out, replaced with new BnQ suit, bath, toilet basin. Straighforward swap. Plus 10sq mtr of tiling onto old tiles, 2 walls only as two walls have decorative panelling. Quoted £600. Tenant accepted. Is this too low or a reasonable price considering this...

Thanks for this, should be interesting.

I'm goingnto be tiling onto tiles which are well fitted, sound and secure and the homeowner does not want them removed. However never done this before and wouldnt usually recommend it. But as they are insisting doing it this way, can someone recommend a tile adhesive suitable for tiling onto tile?

Why would you refuse them?

Ive done my C&G level 2 plumbing, and been working on water systems part time for the past two years so an relatively confident in the plumbing aspects. But i now want to work on the gas side of it and may be able to work alongside a couple of heating engineers installers. I'm going to speak to...

Is it worth investing in a course at these local training centres for gas safe? Or would i be better of working alongside an experienced tradesman?

its an Ariston Euro Combi

no, not done any measuring. But the water flow is very slow compared to the cold water tap. I dont understand how turning off the boiler could have caused this issue. I didnt touch the hot water pipes. Only thing i can assuem is its an air lock, but then surely that would stop all hot...

Hi all I flushed out the rads the other day on mates system and he says since then the hot water is running at a very slow rate. I turned off the boiler when i drained down the system. Turned it back on. There was no water from the hot water taps for a few seconds, but then it appeared to...

i thought the same, mine appeared to move but my dads mate is a boiler engineer and told me it wasnt working correctly. So as he advised i changed it and havent looked back since. Apparently its a common problem with saunier duvals.

i changed the motor head only and the valve was fine (the pin was moving freely) Motor i changed was this bit...

Hi guys I'm trying to flush out a friends central heating system however i am unable to bleed any off the radiators. The bleed valves will not open. I've bought 3 bleed keys and neither seems to be able to get the valves open. The keys simply turn and dont grip the valve. Its proven very...

hi benedekl The fault with mine was the motor on the diverter valve. The motor wasnt working correctly. Apparently if you listen carefully, you can hear a click as the motor kicks in to divert the water from heating to hot water. There was no click so i changed the valve, cost me about £20...

can you determine where exactly the smell is coming from? Is it the toilet bowl? This should be highly unlikely as the water in the toilet as a block to sewer smells. The only other place it may come from is the waste pipe as it connects onto the soil stack. Can you see any gaps in the...

thanks all for the responses, i appreicate you guys taking time out to advise on pricing etc. Will prove very useful in future. In the past i'd simply quote a price based on looking at the room, not taking into account accurate measurements, fittings, cuts etc.

so far most houses around here are brick wall which has been plastered, and the people here tend to go for ceramic tiles of varying sizes. What are the rates for say 33x33 floor tiles? how about 300x400 wall tiles onto plaster and the standard smaller 20x25 wall tiles? many thanks
