    can't find repressurizing valve!

    You must have a filling loop somewhere. Common places I have found them. Airing Cupboard. Inside the boiler. Under a kitchen sink (normally nearby). In some boxing near the boiler. Do not get confused. The flexible hose on top of the boiler is not a filling loop and neither is the...

    poor hot water pressure

    Turn on your hot water (via the boiler or immersion heater) and leave it overnight. Should sort it.

    back boiler will not fire up

    Lets start with the basics. Have you re-lit the pilot light after the gas was cut? Is the control knob turned up enough?

    how to make my shower hotter?

    If it has never been right you don't need a new cartridge. You can tweak the cartridge inside which is held on by four screws. You take out the screws and turn the dial inside a 1/4 of a turn more towards the hot. Hard to explain but you can "commission" these showers to get them hotter.

    Only 3 radiators working

    If you turn off the 3 hot radiators on the thermostatic valves what happens? You could have a faulty pump? What type of system do you have?

    New boiler?

    I'd advise keeping electric showers and therefore if there became a fault on the boiler at least you've still got a means of hot water. The answer to your question is yes it can be done but as mentioned above the gas pipe may need to be upgraded.

    Honeywell port valves....

    What makes you think they are faulty. But yes you can just replace the "heads" on the honeywell valves so you wouldn't need to isolate any water.

    New toilet cistern ball valve

    Have you got an isolation valve on the incoming mains pipework to the cistern. If so, just turn it off/down a little so the pressure is not as forceful and this will sort out the "clunk".

    Non-standard close coupling on old Twyford toilet

    Have you got a picture? It sounds like it's a syphonic toilet working in conjunction with a syphonic syphon. Probably easier to just replace the toilet. But a picture will confirm this.

    Overflow of Hot Water

    Not really sure what Duffin is talking about. The problem is with your feed and expansion tank (central heating) and you have a "pumping over" problem. The result of this is probably a blockage forming within your pipework (normally near where the cold supply from the tank meets with the...

    Badly leaking outdoor tap - can i do anything to stop it ?

    Just change the tap. Turn off the water. Turn the whole tap anti-clockwise. It'll wind all out. Get a new tap. Wrap PTFE tape around spindle of new tap. Insert new tap. Turn water back on.

    Connect a shower head to a bath tap.

    In the summer I think you'll find just the hot tap will be too hot and therefore a double attachment will work better as you can always leave the cold tap turned off if you don't want it. However, if you do need it to cool the water down then the option is always there.

    Toilet flush makes pipes ring/vibrate sound

    The problem is the float valve. Replace this.
