I have a British Gas 330+ boiler (re-badged Glow-worm I believe) which is configured as a sealed system, installed in a four bed detached house we purchased a couple of years ago. We've had various issues with it (nothing too major) which has led me to getting quite a bit of information on it...

The pressure didn't increase, I tried a new sensor but then pressure went down to 0.0 bar. I then realised that no pressure was in the section that had the pressure sensor and the expansion vessel. So I removed the connector from the internal boiler drain valve (where it connects) and no water...

I've got a sealed system in my house with a British Gas 330+ boiler (re-badged Glow-worm). Currently the boiler is reporting that the pressure is 0.3 bar but is still working. When attempting to increase the pressure using the filling loop a small amount of water enters the system for a few...

Ok, I've still got the issue. Recap: Neighbour downstairs flushes toilet after a disposing of bodily solids and I get a foul stench in my bathroom. It is strong, as though you have just walked into a freshly used loo and appears just after they have flushed. All connectors into the soil...

I need to get a new trap before I can put it on the sink waste pipe. However.... As I said before, the stench is strongest in the boxed in section (which has the side off), this contains the soil stack. The sink waste pipe is over the other side of the room so the theory that the smell is...

The boxing is off as I'm only half way through sorting out the bathroom. The pipe goes up into the loft and out the roof. I've looked for obvious cracks/gaps etc and can't see any. The soil stack is standard grey piping. Originally from the soil stack a grey extension pipe came out and then a...

There are three connections into the soil stack from my bathroom. Firstly the toilet which is completely plumbed in. Secondly that bath, which is also plumbed in and both of these have water in the traps. My sink isn't plumbed in so we have put some paper down the waste to keep the stench out...

Hi, I've been doing plumbing work in my bathroom (replacing suite etc) and have a slight issue. When ever my neighbours in the flat downstairs flush their loo I get a foul stench in my bathroom. It's a really strong stench. It's not coming from the WC or where the Pan connector goes into...

The only thing is that the pipe goes straight up out through the roof. I've read that you should put a condensation trap in if the pipe is vertical. So I'm worried that condensation may leak into the loft where the join is taped together.

Hi, My air ventilation output pipe for the bathroom in my flat is 110mm soil pipe. This length piping is only used by the extraction fan. I'm changing the fan and the position of it which is 100mm piping. Thing is, how do I connect if to the 110mm pipe, the way the previous people did it is...

There is some form of vent that goes out the roof already, just need to find out the diameter of the piping so I can connect into it properly. I will call one of the manufacturers about the most suitable fan. Cheers, Adam

I'm not too sure about just one fan after a T section as the fan would need more power and most of the power from the fan would go to the vent that would be straight on. I'm thinking of putting one fan in the ceiling now, just by the bath, so should work quite well. Can any one tell me if...

Hi, not sure if this is the correct area to post this in but didn't seem to fit in any of the others. I'm about to start re-fitting my bathroom. The suite has been ordered, tiles bought etc. However there are two areas I'm currently trying to figure out. Firstly is the ventilation. The...
