Sounds like plumbers mait, another cowboys favourite is silicone (but that doesnt work either). Sounds like the rubber has dislodged from the pan connector. You could try and push the rubber in bit more or take it out and redo it properly. You'll need to clean all that gunk off though...

As Richard said earlier, if the basin waste has a seperate branch then it won't matter if the AAV is lower than the basin waste because in this case the spill over level is the shower tray.

It can be done as long as there is space under the bath for access to the taps etc and correct fall on the soil. I would avoid this if the soil pipe has to go round a bend though. I wouldnt use flexible connections anywhere on the soil pipe either.

If a closed valve 'stomped' your plumber, then I would be a little concerned about the quality of the system he put in. :!: I may be wrong and he might be the b****x. :D

I see. Thanks. Basically ventilating the branch. You can also use anti-vac traps if the runs are too long. Edit: Missed the HepVO bit.

I'm sure you're right. Out of interest, where else or how would one be used?

You say you think that was done so you're not really sure? :wink: Maybe there are isolation valves under the floorboards that are turned off? Maybe unlikely but possible?

If you want max water pressure then the obvious choice would be 32mm.

It won't matter if you use 2 way TRV's.

Is there a dedicated supply for the hot too? I imagine it is but your post doesn't state this clearly.

An air admittance valve is connected to the top of a stub/stack pipe. Its job is to let air in and is usually used if the stack can't be vented or if its a stub stack. I don't understand why it would be connected to a wardrobe? :lol: Can you take a picture of it?

If your boiler does not have an internal trap on the condense then you will need to incorporate one. A self sealing or inline trap or HepVo trap looks like this:

You had it installed only a week ago. You shouln't have to try anything, get the installer back to sort it.

You can connect the condense to the bath waste with a inline/self sealing trap. I don't see why you can't use glue. We use it all the time.

What size tap con? 15mm? If you dont want flexis then get something like the one I linked, should be fine.

You buy a 15mm compression bend and use this type of internal reducer. http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9265079&ecamp=trf-005&CAWELAID=266879313 Are you sure the 10mm inlet is not the internal diameter of the 15mm fitting? Have you tried tap connector type...

Try turning the TRV setting down on that rad and closing the lockshield valve more so that it restricts water to that radiator and forcing water to others.

If you stay with the same firm, you'll probably never get rid of the 'trainee' tag!

Thanks for the replies, even the non-serious ones. I was wondering how long people will take the mick. :lol:

Heard this mentioned a few times. Just curious how one goes from an apprentice/mate to a time served plumber and how many years they have to put up with the apprentice status. Cheers
