No thats not what i said: the term Plumber and Gas fitter are different. And a large quantity of gas fitters are set to retire i can assure you.

Give it a go jo. It might work. How did you isolate the hot water?

Radiators corrode from inside out. New rad required. Valve the radiator off now and drain it for safety.

Good thinking. Well done.

Hahaha! O.k well even if their figures are wrong there are a lot retiring which will open up vacancies.

Just a quick question why dont you just valve a rad off whip it out and drain down through one of the legs once the rad is out the way?

Lets just make this clear a bypass shouldn't be fully open it should only be open a couple of turns. To test a pump, whilst running, if it has a screw cap on the front remove this with a screwdriver. Have a towel or dustsheet below because it will leak water. Now try to stop the propeller with...

HAHAHAHA!!!!! I want to come too!

He can't now charge call out, that work has to be guarenteed. I would say get back and put it right.

That is the correct method of adding sentinel yes. powerflushing involves tapping a machine into the flow and return pipes. By taking either the pump out or a rad. It circulates water and chemicals around the system and dumps the rubbish to a drain. A good job should take 6 hours. In the finish...

City and Guilds issue it on there advertisement for Gas fitters to train. It is quite believable. All the old boys struggle with re-takes and lets face it when you walk into the merchants atleast a third of the custom are old boys.

Get yourself qualified. There is not a shortage of work. There are 95,000 gas fitters in the country and a 30,000 are expected to retire this year. Get yourself qualified ive never looked back.

I can assure you taking it from the draw off up into the loft and across will be perfect.

Considering the main constituent of gas is Methane, by the time gas runs out there will be a substitute and then we will be on conversion again! Wooo Hooo!

Definitely take that extra year out. If you have 2 or 3 components go you are quids in! Diverter valves, P.c.bs, fans all in the 100 pound mark each.

If you don't know what air felt is i suggest you get qualified. You can buy it from any plumbers merchant. It not only protects the pipe but does prevent condensation, pipe burst in the cold etc. And unless you are doing the job yourself chris how do you know whether air wont get into contact...

I would just like to ask if chris has done his high efficiency exam if he hasn't then i suggest he does. Back boilers can still be fitted in place of back boilers. FACT.

Haha. Right well it may be as simple as the thermostat may have come out of calibration. Order yourself a new stat and drop it on. This should sort it out.

It is in Meters. Yes it is rough but quick and very close. If it has external walls no cavitys etc just add a bit on.

Combi i meant! haha
