    MIL's New Boiler

    The pipe sounds like it's bound to be undersized and not supplying enough gas-a working pressure test at the boiler should have been carried out along with other tests and should be put on the benchmark and installation paperwork. You cannot box in a gas pipe with compression joint fitted...

    Which size core drill for a soil pipe?

    You need a minimum 127mm maybe even a 150mm,no point buying cheap,if your drilling through anything a bit hard the cheap ones won't touch it,the best in my opinion are Nimbus,then marcrist,turbolite etc. but if you've only got one hole to drill then have you considered hiring one?- and...

    old plastic water pipe

    Not heard of 17mm before-if its anywhere near 16mm then you can get a 16mm-15mm compression adaptor which would do what you need-best get an accurate measurment and go from there.

    GAS FIRE

    Quote from British Gas - Outrageous?

    Yes the 28i greenstar will cost £1000 say with a programmable room stat,but its a lot more involved than what you think to swap the boiler-you may need to have the gas pipe upgraded,you will definitely have an extra pipe to plumb in -the condensate drain and although the boiler is going in the...
