Nothing wrong with the way you did it, I would normally just use a sponge. You still could have done it from the washing machine hoses, as the cold mains will push the air all the way from downstairs. Best to have someone in the loft though, so they can shout you when the water stars...

Another thing you could try, if there is no visible screw. Turn the water off and turn the handle all the way round and just try pulling off. Try both ways. Rico

Hi there, I think what Agile was trying to tell you, and correct me if i'm wrong Tony, is that you are talking about to different things. Having your central heating system flushed, would not affect the DHW heat exchanger, they are 2 different components. Rico

Hi there, Pop the blue & red plastic disk out of the front of the tap and the shoule be a screw or allen headed nut under there. Rico

Bryan, Why would it cost your neighbour any more money. If the plumber cocked it up he should come back and put it right. If your neighbour doesnt want him back, give him first refusal to correct it, if they say no, get someone else in and send the first guy the bill Rico
