    Change old cracked toilet

    Drill a few holes in the cement and gently chip away. The glazeware is prone to cracking if you are too rough. Do not smash the porcelain as you may drop pieces of it down the pipe. Pete

    Torbeck Flush Valve Leaking

    Could be a few things. The push button cable is not releasing fully to allow the drop seal to sit flush on the outlet. Remove the push button from the trigger mechanism and see if that helps. The cable maybe wrapped around in a manner where it is pinching the inner cable. Dirt/debris or...

    Way too much adhesive residue on mosaic tiles

    I agree with Matty rip em off and start again. What size spreader did you use? A small toothed one is needed with that size mosaics. They only require a thin layer of quality adhesive to fix. Pete

    Average cost of replacing Gas hob by Gas Safe Engineer?

    Well you have had 2 quotes from gas safe installers so the average is £130.00. You need to have rigid copper connections not the old flexible hose bayonet these days. The blah blah is possibly a landlords cert which you should be aware of ! Pete

    cannot get to tap washer - any help?

    There is definelty a brass screw under the cap which may just pop off with the aid of a pocket knife blade. You then have to unscrew the chrome shroud to reveal the ceramic valve head which you use a spanner to remove. Obvs isolate first. Pete

    Rainwater fall pipe and soil stack

    Not correct as the soil stack now vents nicely into the eaves of the house and if you were to open one of those roof windows you would have a nice waft of the drains too. The stack should vent above the eaves and away from the roof lights and the rain water should be in seperate trapped...

    Cutting cast iron

    I have never used a holesaw. My method is to use a quality hss drill bit and needle point around the diameter of the hole you require then carefully nib each piece out and file the edges to give a smooth cut. Pete

    Underfloor heating drain down?

    To flush it attach a mains feed to the top manifold and flush it out of the drain valve on the lower manifold bar. Do each loop in turn and then shut off and go to the next. Pete

    Can I discharge all waste water into the soil stack?

    No problem routing all grey water and wc discharge into your soil stack. The only issue is if you route surface water into a soil stack unless you have combined drains. BC prefer if you route surface water to a dedicated drain or soakaway. Pete

    Electric central heating and hot water

    If you are sure about 6kwp then get a 5kw invertor to run your system. If your mains pressure is poor then options of a break tank pumped to an unvented hot water cylinder would be possible. Underfloor heating is a bit more tricky, I like wet however you need to keep it on most of the day for...

    One pipe system conversion

    Hi Ben My mistake I missed the header tank in your first drawing. In that case make sure you have the vent, feed and pump arranged correctly. Pete

    One pipe system conversion

    Ben Your plans are all good to use 22mm primary flow and returns. Make sure you put in a few drain cocks too. I take it your system is sealed and you have an automatic air vent on the highest points? It would be a good time to flush the entire system too. Pete
