Many thanks to all and all the best for Xmas

Thanks guys, just to answer most or all 1) The raised garden level is permanent as in a new lawn. 2) The saving could be his but he says his price was based on this due to limited access for moving off the property 3) I've told him to bank the soil away from the fence so no contact. But is...

Yes my Builder is dumping tons of earth from my extension dig and raising my back lawn making it several feet above my neighbours gardens, they are complaining that it affects their garden privacy and drainage and it should be skipped, one says that his fence is not a retaining wall so shift it...

After the flush was rising in the pan before going away slowly,I tried to rod from the inspection chamber 10 yards from the soil stack but I couldn't get the rods up more than a few feet and the 5 ft chamber and my 68 years defeated me so I got a drain company who cleared and camera'd (very...

The size of the glands to weather seal the cable needs to match the outer diameter of the cable surely. My query is since the cable is 12.4mm diameter and no junction/joint with that size other than 10mm / 15mm what is wrong

I've got 4 core armoured cable for a garden shed run but the cables outside diameter is 12.3 mm and the only junction boxes and joints are 10mm and I think 15mm. What am I doing wrong ? Thanks

Not my concrete

As said, screwed or glued fixing through or to pvc cladding seems too fragile, any history of success ?

Yes that's about right, don't know why their service man last year didn't know the 3A / 5A potential problem. Their excuse seems to be that our kitchen fitters had boxed it in restricting access. The Boiler is a combi Ideal approx 12 years old, not home so can't give model No.

Yes new boiler advised. He spent about 2 hours and the boiler only stayed on for 20 seconds then off. He said the cost of finding, fixing and replacing possible damage to the circuit boards could end up more than a new boiler and my old boiler may not last even after if the fix was found, the...

Just realised problem when heating didn't come this morning it was fine last night. Boiler wouldn't switch back on. The boiler is fitted inside a kitchen unit, that's why he was whinging about access to sort it but I thought that the fuse was there to protect any appliance not kill it.

No surprise, I've been advised that they are crap

Don't know, boiler was in when bought the house 5 years ago, BGas reckon 10 years old.

Should have been 3amp, they serviced Nov 2024 no faults, so whos fault, they say access was a problem, now I've got a 2 grand problem.

Yes I know this question is donkeys years old on here. BUT no clear answers, Chemists or Plumbers welcome, not the clown who fitted mine as he's gone to Thailand, best place for him. 1) My brand new sealed pressurised Combi system has no leaks but seems to replace any air I bleed away just on...

Cheers Rob, I think you've got a point ("sometimes the simplest tried and tested things work best") but that's no way to talk about my wife ;) Thanks again Rob All the best

The outside gully that takes only kitchen sink and machine washer water became blocked. I rodded it to death with coiled wire type as the U bend is tight and high pressure hosed it, and chemical cleansed it, I felt as far as my hand would reach but there was simply nothing there. My wife wanted...

No bath just a good electric shower cubicle fortunately. I'll have to check the paperwork. Thanks again, you've been a great help.

Hi Madrab, thanks for getting back. Boiler is a Logic Max Combi2 C24 Boiler sited in ground floor kitchen, 2 meters away from the sink but hot water takes an age and even longer to the bathroom Small 3 bed semi, 1 ground floor bathroom. Boiler services just 6 rads and hot water, no shower...

Q1- Since new combi boiler installed I can hear trickling water inside 2 rads, I have bled all rads many times and still getting air from upstairs. Q2 - It now take ages to get hot water to the taps kitchen and bathroom (downstairs) I think he's connected via the old tank piping in the loft so...
