thanks for all the comments guys, I have been speaking to a number of people and trades people round here and managed to find a decent local company: http://www.brplumbingandheating.co.uk/ It'll be interesting to see how they compare with British Gas but the main thing I am looking for is...

This is what I really hate - Why isn't there some kind of online system that you can "rate" tradespeople for the job they have done (a bit like ebays feedback system). In Germany you would get a quote from three different companies to get some work done and they would all be within around 5%...

Thanks for the offer (and I am sure you would do a good job) but I am really looking to go with somebody that has been recommended as well a Corgi registered and ideally experienced in installaing Baxi Platinum boilers. I am going to get British Gas in again to give me a quote anyway and i'll...

and what are they? The installation manual for the boiler I am looking to use mentions flue locations on PDF page 19 in the attached link: http://www.baxi.co.uk/products/literature/Baxi_Platinum_Installation_Guide.pdf I am looking to get this installed in my loft so the flue will go out...

I just wondered if anyone here knows if Baxi have a recommended list of plumber / heating engineers that are approved to install Baxi combi boilers ? The one I am looking to get installed is their platinum range as follows: http://www.baxi.co.uk/products/productDetails.php?idx=1128&cat=2...

thanks for your info - The one I have used above is rated at "15bar working pressure" so I guess i'll be ok.

Cheers guys - in the end I just purchased one of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180101829709&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=008 and then I am going to connect the end of the nipple to the 1/2" BSP on the flexi pipe. Can anyone else backup this comment about...

I have a bath tap that has a 1/2" female connection on the bottom and I would like to attach it via a 900mm flexi pipe and maybe also an isolating value (just incase I need to get the bath out in future). My current plan is to get the following: - YORKSHIRE SOLDER COPPER FITTINGS 15MM MALE...

I built an 18mm playwood box frame that the pipes etc go in and then used 15mm copper screw on straps to hold the pipes in place. When I came to do the tiling I wrapped the tiles in cling film before sticking them to the wall with tile adhesive and then once the tile adhesive was dry the...

ahhgggg! - Sorry they are banned from my house due to past bad experiences !

dough! thanks That will do for the bath filler but wondered if they would be ok for connecting a hot and cold supply to a bath (I want to give myself plenty of movement of the bath just in case I need to get the bath out in future). I guess the shower hoses wouldnt be good enough to...

....length I have been looking high and low for these and wondered if they exist ? Anyone any ideas ? I will be using them on the output of a bath diverter to supply an integrated overflow / bathfiller so ideally I would like a 13mm bore size if possible.

cheers - I did think about the heat pad but its too late now. What size is your mirror & what was the thickness !?

Thanks for your help - I just phoned building control in chester and they said that as long as: 1) I use double glazing, and 2) Toughend glass ( to BSnnnn spec) then all should be ok. So, back to my question does anyone think that what I mentioned in the original post maybe possible !?!?

ok many thanks - is there any writtern information that I can follow and refer to ?

what !?!? What kind of regulations do i need to worry about - you have got me worried now !?

Not sure if this is the best place to post for this - anyway.... I am going to be fitting an original 1930s front door that I have purchased that looks similar to the following...

I am going to get a large (1.5mx1m) mirror cut and delivered for my bathroom and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a mirror adhesive that I can use ? I dont want to screw it to the wall as those dome headed screws look horrible and its too much hassle to get the screw holes in the right...
