    15mm v 22mm

    Excuse my ignorance here but why is 22mm so important where hot water is concerned, is it all to do with heat expansion of the water? For example I have a combi at present in a 2 bed g/f flat and I will be removing my bath soon and installing a shower only. In my 'airing cupboard' where the...

    Time before painting

    I have just had my whole living room skimmed including the ceiling, apart from one small area approx 1/2 sq metre which still looks 'dark' the rest now looks that light pink colour. How long do you recommend before painting and is a 'wash' coat necessary and what is likely to affect the...

    Grohe Wirless Shower

    Can someone explain a 'wireless shower' :? This seems ideal for me to replace my electric one with as I have a combi boiler and I want a good shower now not something, even at 9kw, that just about makes you wet enough after standing under it for 5 minutes.

    Cirrus shower

    Thermostatic valve type, sorry no model number. Customer phoned (I can't get out to see her for a few days) will not turn off. No Isolatition valves available, pipework reduces from 15mm to 10mm so I take it no isolation valve could be fitted. She checked behind the Bath Panel. Problem is...

    OLCI plumbing courses

    I did the 4 week one in York, you are quite right about practical experience, very limited and so many variants you won't have encountered before. I have to be careful when I choose what to take on. Each extra qualification is another week off work and ££££ to get 'qualified' 1 day equal to 2-3...
