The regs do stipulate that in order to 'work' on a 'gas fitting' you must be of a member of a class of persons at the time approved by the HSE (CORGI registered) however, there is an exemption which is a bit of a grey area. It is deemed ok to conduct gas work as long as it is not for moneytry...

Well Chris i can tell you are a very knowledgeable man and i am not undermining or contesting what your saying. But just from experience i get called to 3 times more problems regrading y plan valves. S plans do rarely go wrong you know that. WIth three ports you find they are always passing...

The situation with the fan sounds a bit strange you should be able to get a hold of one. I suggest you go onto the Wolsely website and get the number for your local parts replacement center they will have it in a matter of days if they haven't got it on the shelf. BG do like to look for work...

Yes fine. Just a little tip for you though regular inch and a half pipe push fit tees do not adapt into a stand pipe you will need a universal tee with mechanical nuts. That will get you sorted.

Yes ross it should be fine to tag onto the current draw off from the cylinder but do remember to tag on where the draw off goes to the taps and not higher up on the vent. Best mixer valve shower on the market for me has got to be the Mira Excel. And yes it is perfectly fine to run the waste...

With out a shadow of doubt S plans are far more superior to Y plans. They do not flow share are more reliable and much easier to fault diagnose. electronically Y plan valves can cause some real nonsense faults.

Very strange. Firstly let me explain how an electric shower works. Cold water from the mains comes in and it is heated via an element. similar principle to a kettle if you like. Now, obvioulsy when there is a demand for cold water the pressure is good as the shower is not having to heat the...

Obviously as the other chap mentioned the pipe work could be blocked. However, i think the most probable problem is you pump is getting weak. If it has a screw cap on the pump i suggest when it is running remove the cap (put a towel under the pump as water will come out) try to stop the...

Now what i have to say regarding this matter will probably not please you. However, i have come across a fair few Halstead boilers and i feel compelled to give you the lowdown on this manufacturer. Halstead boilers are made cheaply for companies like your B&Qs and Wickes. They are renound for...
