Your mate needs to get this checked by an RGI as soon as possible, this situation, if it as you have described is totally illegal, and could be incredibly dangerous. Modern boilers take the air for combustion from outside via the flue, they then blow the products of combustion out of the same...

I agree with seco, cold is probably mains, this may cause problems if you are fitting a new mixer tap to your new bath as the pressure between hot and cold will be significantly different, unless as seco also says you have a combi boiler where pressures are more equal.

25mm blue poly, at 750mm deep would be better.

If the pump is not working at all it bangs the system bangs and crashes like someone is hitting the pipes with a hammer.

try looking on the side of your hot water storage cylinder for a cylinder thermostat, maybe needs turning down or replacing.

This is the exact problem with people trying to give advice on things they dont really understand. The height quoted is incorrect, but some diy gas fitter will take that measurement as being correct. Fitting a cooker correctly is more involved than screwing a fitting together. Your whole...

my bet is that it is not telescopic, but just a bog standard (excuse the pun) isolation valve tap connector, but it is leaking from where it joins the ballvalve. I notice that the thread is sealed with PTFE. This is incorrect as the seal is made between the fitting and the wc valve by a fibre...

Get some fancy candles and superglue them over the holes, ladies love the candles!

No you are not being poisoned, the vapour that is coming from the flue is steam, however it is very slightly acidid. The terminal should not have been placed where it could cause a nuisence, but if it is above head height it has probably been installed with that in mind. If it really is...

All you need to do is make sure the shower that you buy is suitable for the high pressure that will be present in the pipes. Most of the bar type showers will be suitable, or you could go for a Mira excel if you are feeling flush. It would then be absolutely fine to tee straight into the...

The guy I work with pays £30 a month for a terminal, its an incredibly convenient way for the customers to pay and we have had some very positive feedback. We try and avoid credit card transactions as they charge about 5%. Debit cards are ok and they charge a lot less. Its also good because...

yes that is the cap that you need to cap off a washing machine tap, 3/4 female thread. The reason that washing machines only have cold fill nowadays is that it generally takes less time to fill the machine than it does to get the hot water from the airing cupboard to the kitchen, all that you...

I am a time served plumber with twenty years experience and have just completed four weeks training on gas at a cost of £2500 to be able to go into your home and be safe to fit your cooker only to be classed as a monkey. thanks a lot pal.

It could be that your boiler is not recognising that you have opened a tap when you turn on the shower, even if it is fine on all other outlets. These bar showers seem to use a smaller flow of hot water when being used than a tap. This could mean that your boiler is not heating the water for...

22mm to 15mm copper all the time, cant stand microbore.

No wonder its leaking, its not designed to have mains pressure on it all the time, best get rid and get one thats more suitable to the high pressure.

more than likely the diaphragm wearing out, works downstairs because taps are higher pressure, enough to turn on DHW on boiler. Lower pressure upstairs not enough to move perrished diaphragm.

It may be that the pressure on the hot water diapragm in the boiler is not enough to turn on the burner. you may need to replace the diaphragm. The warm water you get at first is a heat plug from inside the boiler when the heating has been on, but then the burner has not lit and all you get is...

make sure that you are not putting 240V through a room stat thats designed for low voltage.

just looked at the photo, it seems to be that the bath is of a design where it is not supposed to have a shower above it(with the curved edges) may be the silicone bead is your only answer, not going to look to pretty though. But water will damage the surroundings if not done.
