    Low water pressure in bathroom-Advice needed

    Weeping Joints

    Well they are usually supplied with the float valves but some are better quality than others, again you could try plumb center or b & q might stock them.

    Radiator/Towel Warmer Leaking Problem

    Yes they can be replaced, plumb center or any good plumbing merchants should keep them. It may be just the 'o' rings are damaged and not sealing but only you know how bad it is so the choice is yours.

    Weeping Joints

    If you do remove the float valve, check for imperfections on the porcelain where the rubber washer makes the seal on the inside of the cistern. If there are any raised spots or blobs you should remove these (carefully) with something like a sharp flat bladed screwdriver as these imperfections...

    Sounds like you need a local RGI to call, try to get someone to recommend one to you, should hopefully be cheaper than calling worcester out.

    22mm solvent weld pipe

    Yes I would use speedfit but having a joint you can't get at with any material is a bit of a risk, if you preferred and both pipes are actually 22mm you could use a 22mm compression joint and use plenty of jointing paste and give it a good test before you cover it over.

    Changing out a back boiler for a combi boiler

    The price would depend on a few points, like whether your existing gas supply is up to the job of a condensing boiler, are the electrics ready to go, is there a room stat installed, trv's, has the condensate drain been sorted? flue positioning........and so on, just depends on the amount of...

    Pipe sizing query

    If you go to plumb center and ask for a 16 gauge compression adapter, (16mm-15mm) that should sort you out. I have got them from there a few times and always keep a couple of spares in the van.

    No drop on 6m of condensate pipe work. (cowboy job?) photos

    Well looking at the height on that pipework I'd say that the boilers probably on the first floor and maybe the flue terminal's out of sight, personally I think I would have dropped the pipes down more and run them at a lower level.

    No drop on 6m of condensate pipe work. (cowboy job?) photos

    Cant understand why they have no fall on the condensate when its at the height it is and with it going into a rain water downpipe, and the gas pipe looks tidy enough even down to the point of labelling it. It's not as if its not possible to get a fall on that pipe.

    Electric wet heating

    The reason nobody in the plumbing world can advise you whether you need single or double radiators is because we have no way of knowing what the heat losses are in the rooms you wish to put these radiators. Whether you have single or double is not a valid question, you first need to know the...

    OIL boiler/burner pump question

    Was it cutting out before the service was done, and if not, what has been altered when doing the service, could very well be the solenoid dropping out after it starts to warm. When you say it cuts out, does it go into lockout?

    Push-fit white overflow to solvent white overflow

    If you want to join them you'll probably find a speedfit 22mm straight coupler will do the trick, ive used them before and they tighten down quite nicely on the overflow if they are slightly different sizes, as long as the old stuff is no bigger than 22mm. :wink:

    which sds+

    I have a makita and a bosch and neither have let me down in about 8 years, saying that if I was you I would buy a cheapy if you are planning on doing much chiseling and keep it just for chiseling cos that knocks the sh*te out of em, and keep your good one just for the drilling.

    Oil Central Heating Pressure

    That'll be because your cold is pressurised and your hot relys on head pressure from your cistern in your loft so somewhere the tap is more restictive on the hot supply than your old one was, is it a new mixer tap, with flexi connectors, probably about 10mm?
