A pic? My mind is struggling to create a visual representation of what you have described...

Partial blockage? First thing to do is lift the cover off the main drain access chamber before the connection to the street and make sure it is not backed up.

Too many "real life" car chase police helicopter shows on tv. Normalises that sort of activity and inspires the youngsters. Parents need to teach their kids to distinguish between bad and BAD.

My mate's uncle got shot dead by the police after wielding a chair leg at them. Was in the news etc.

The idea is to depressurise, not drain. The drain cock will depressurise but if there is an auto air vent somewhere then it will keep draining. I usually just open a radiator bleed screw and stand there with a bowl while the water pi$$es out until the pressure is 0 on the gauge. Make sure...

Sorry, only joking. It's funny how many people post on here asking if it's ok to do something next week when in fact they've already gone and done it... I have a friend who......

You need to depressurise the system first. Then leave the orifice wot you used to depressurise the system with open while you pump up the air side of the expansion vessel with a bicycle pump. (I notice my local plumbers merchant is trying to sell a glorified bicycle pump for £50!!) 1 bar...

RTFM. You need to do it properly, the expansion vessel check / re-charge.

What the hell is that on the ceiling? Did someone pay extra for that effect??

Jesus H Christ! You don't want a single pipe system. You need flow and return pipes to from the boiler T ing off at each rad. The initial artery from the boiler needs to be in 22mm. Plastic is fine if you are any good at stuff but shouldn't be done as a rush job - that's when they fail!

Seemples eh? Is he going to have to buy a 3 metre length of 1 &1/4" copper??!!

Wasn't me, Tony. I was in Cape Town. I had proper leaflets, which I re-used on returning to the UK by cutting the phone number off the bottom and feeding through the inkjet again with new number on it!! I did have a work permit, by the way!

'We' (us bored plumbers reading the forum) are stuck here because of various reasons - immigration difficulties, EU bureaucracy, financial dependence on child tax credit system, languages in schools, difficulty in integrating into tight knit traditional societies abroad, UK tax laws governing...

The lead bit is the trap, you need to put a new trap on if you do this.

Do something similar but seal it with http://www.ct1ltd.com/ct1.html You need the top part of a plastic adjustable trap to screw onto the sink waste bowl. Ram the other end of this inside the lead and seal with CT1.
