It would be wise to get a couple of quotes from local RGI's. Maybe ask friends/family for recommended installer's in your area?

Probably be nice on some chips.

Give it a try this winter.

If you have tried to isolate through the gate valve then it may have broke on you leaving the gate partially closed? If the handle just turns and turns then you need to replace the valve.

Whatever you do don't buy a second hand one :!:

Get a pot of solvent cement made by Black Swan. Instead of a brush being attached to the lid they have like a round sponge which is much better, you can apply more glue without having to keep dipping in the pot! You should be able to buy from a local plumbers merchants easy enough.

More than likely the plate h/ex that is at fault.

Yeah I checked, looked fine. I've told him to change for a Fluidmaster.

I'd never fit or try to repair Torbeck crap but a friend of the family had fitted one etc. Obviously letting by as their not worth a cup of cold pi$$ ! Tried everything to stop water dripping down the pan, had the valve apart, played with the washer etc etc. Has anyone actually had any...

Flexi's on toilet cistern's, so lazy :roll: Is the water dripping down from the plastic nut above the flexi?

Works for me alright :) Just need lots of it, plenty of heat and an open end.

Maybe go down the biomass route if he has the money and space.

Electric rads? Nah I wouldn't if I was you! Just get a decent installer this time, not another gumtree special! :wink:
