I would sue the person who put in down.

Well you have.:) + 1 = Dan. No need for one usually and perhaps another source of a leak in years to come. Also had them block with magnetite because of the small bore. If you are going to use them make sure they are full bore. That's all that's in my retro-repair kit any-ways. It can be done...

Just read the instructions and specification from Speedfit, the answer is there. Give your plumber a copy and if he doesn't come back and use the correct inserts on all joints then call the Office of Fair Trading with photos and independent report.

Bleach or white vinegar but NOT ..... repeat not used together. Check in cistern to see if the cistern bolts are getting rusty if they are then you will need to replace them with stainless steel bolts.

If it is found to be bad workmanship or its just leaking from the new joint (it happens to all of us sometime), then no.

What! :shock:

What is the gas pipe material?

Fine. To solder he will have to get all the water out extremely difficult on a ground floor. I would use push fit or compression and yes lag the pipe as you don't want to heat the worms. Remove the clip/wood and suspend from and across joists at both ends with metal strapping to support the...

Are you removing the whole valve to replace same with something else?

Looks like you are correct. Ask him back to remake the joint, dry it out first if possible.

Void underneath, run pipes under joists and clip over lagging?
