Right on ollski :)

Fair enough to expect a written quote and I am sure there are a few of the guys on this forum that do give written quotes. Personally, if i'm asked for a written quote then I will charge £20.00 for the quote which will be refundable if and when I get the job, otherwise you could spend a lot of...

Ok ones: Belle Tout Lighthouse on the south coast, where 'lives and loves of a she devil was filmed' and they also moved the whole building back on rails a few years ago to stop it falling into the sea. In a lift shaft in the Brighton Centre and Barry Manilow was rehearsing for his show...

What are the most interesting or strange and weird places any of you have worked at ? I'll share some stories if you do :)

Just be careful that the 15mm or 1/2" isnt 16 gauge, plumb center do a compession adaptor which is 16 gauge compression to 15mm compression,there isn't loads of it about but it's caught me out once and now I always keep a couple of the fittings with me JIC, always tell now when I put the...

You could try a speedfit 22mm straight connector, i know that will tighten onto the 21.5 overflow and you could be up to a couple of mm out with your advanced measuring method so if you're in luck the other end of overflow you have might just push into it as well-with a little help from a file...

If you see a Nimbus one ,they are always good, and also Marcrist as someone said, but also as someone said, it depends on what you are cutting,hard concrete is less abrasive than say soft block or mortar or common bricks. The more abrasive the material you are cutting,the faster it will wear so...

Are you sure you've fitted the non-return valves the right way around?

Make sure you install check valves to comply with regs but also because you could end up with a flood from your cold water cistern if not--mixing high and low pressures. :wink: Just noticed after reading again,you didnt say it was a mixer tap in the bathroom,thats where you have to be...

Yes,it is a pressure jet burner. Yes it will work. Keep the de-aerator about the same height as the burner,as long as it's outside the boiler casing, proximity shouldnt be a problem Dont forget your external fire valve. :wink:

:D Lol :D Yeh, a dirty great big diesel 5kva jobby. :lol:

It depends where your soil pipe is--if it's close to the work then connect it to the soil pipe using a strapped boss.

I'm in the middle of plumbing a barn conversion, they get most their water on the property from their own spring. The water is fine for drinking after being filtered but over the years the water has proved to be corrosive to copper and pinholes it from the inside, I have seen this on some of...

Yes, some of the early Roca Spanish toilets had a 3/8" tail on the inlet and it was a pain-used to use a reducer to bring it back to 1/2"....as Dave says, fit a decent one.

Dont think so, as clf says, it's not completing its ignition sequence-probably going to need a part-so get an oily in--but most people are very busy right now so you might have a bit of a wait.

What happens when the blower starts,does it just run continually or does it eventually stop?

If it's a gas pipe then no, it will not be connected to the heating pipes- :shock: Chill out, stop panicking, have a glass of wine or two and wait for the man and see what happens-but it's a gas pipe. :lol: 8)

Probably because when the pressure relief valve(overflow) has opened in the past it hasnt closed fully due to carp on the seating, best get a new one, and also as C M says, check the expansion vessels not boogered. :)

Yes, you can fit a syphon which has a shorter column which then will let it overflow internally down the pan. You then need to get a stopper to block up the hole where your old overflow exited the cistern.

Frozen my arse, it's no different to any where else in the UK cept it's full of northerners bangin on about how cold, hard to make a living,how nice the ale is, whilst living there - if it's so cold oop north surely there would be more work :roll: :roll:
