The emmersion heater has stopped working, is there a way of knowing if we just need to change the internal thermostat (which must be easier) or the whole element its self? any advice welcome cheers

Hi, i am going to be installing a shower pump at one of our properties, and was just wondering if it is posible to run two showers off the one pump? As I thought whilst Im in the loft i may as well increase the pressure for both ot the showers in the flat. Are there any makes/brands to be...

A couple of weeks ago the upstairs wc leaked whilst we were out, caused a bit of damage in the room beneath. I went to investigate the leak but couldnt identify where it was coming from, it had appeared to have stopped. but i isolated the water to the cistern as a precaution. the next day...

Saniflo seem to have a blockage as water in pan rises up right to the rim when flushed (can only be toilet paper). is there a special drain rod or chemical we can use to clear it or any suggestions? thank you in advance ++++++++++++ I have deleted your duplicate post. Please...

Yes the water starts off well then instantly goes to next to nothing. I think it is mains repair work they're doing (Balfour Beattie), do you think it'd be worth replacing the stop tap or is there another way of clearing it out? Is it worth following it up with BAlfour Beattie although...

One of my property's water pressure has recently completely diminished to the point where the upstairs water barely works. In recent weeks water works have been done in the area, I have spoken to the supplier and they're denying it has anything to do with them and have checked the water...

thank you very much for your rapid response, could you just clarify what you meant to type: 'you will find another scre' cheers

I have recently noticed in our pubs gents, the cistern has stopped stopped working; ie,not filling or emptying. I had a look up there and there's not much to see apart from the water pipe sticking out of the wall with some type of valve attached, there doesnt appear to we any wiring to it(i...

Thnk you for your quick reply. not sure how to do what you suggested though. How would this reduce the cold feed aswell?

The pressure to our house is 9 bar and we have a combi boiler. I am wanting to install a reducing valve as i am putting an on-suite in and the shower we're putting in wont be able to handle this pressure (or the instructions say it wont) The ideal place, i believe is to install it some...

thanks for response bab... gonna be doing it in 110

I am wanting to change my current cast iron soil stack into plastic. The cast iron stack is 3 1/4" Dia. is it possible to adapt onto this above ground level? so Im not messing about digging up concrete around the bottom of the pipe. all comments and suggestions appreciated. cheers.

Sorry just realised the down stairs basin must waste into the soil pipe, this is fine!!

Thank you for your response. the soil pipe is not shared with anything else, just the toilet. and when you look down the nearest inspection chamber, you can see the water coming out (v. slowly) from this toilet, dont really know what else to try. maybe something stuck in the u bend???

The down stairs toilet is blocked (takes about 10 mins to fully empty), now if tryed plunging it from the toilet end and no joy. yesterday i bought some inspection grate lifting keys and some drain rods, and tryed rodding it back towards the toilet, again no joy. Is there anything else I...

thanks for the responses think i understand Grrinc, but a piccie would be great... cheers everyone!

Plumbed in a bath today, there appearsed to be no leaks what so ever. That was until i filled the bath, then emptied it, then a tiny drip appeared under the bath, but 2-3 inches from the waste, there is no damp from this drip back to the waste, so its not a run. so i thought there must be...

Thank you for the quick response. Sorry I should have stated each basin has its own seperate waste pipe (1" 1/4) do you thinks it is just the pipe dia that is causing the slowness? (the pipe work is not really accesable to alter; under newly tiled floor)

I have been doing some work at a hair salon recently and there are two hair rinsing basins there. basically they take too long to empty, now there is no immediate blockage, as i have cleared the 's' traps out on numerous occasions. and the girls have put some drain cleaner down aswell...

yes but not every time??
