Sorted the quote so no address on it thanks for the heads up.

Lol doesn't feel it will be that simple! The quote feels quite punchy too but I'm no expert on these things.

Came home from a night out yesterday to find a scary letter from a property company working for the landlord (CoE) next door. Apparently our shared chimney stack needs rebuilding (Victorian terrace). The total quote is coming in around 5k (see attached) which presumably they want me to pay half...

Ok cool. I think I'm just being clueless and confusing myself having seen the 22mm inlet/outlet on the crosswater ones and getting it in my head that I need to maintain the 22mm all the way through. I presume most inlets/outlets are 15mm these days for a reason so shower will be fine switching...

Cheers. The Crosswater website implies a tank in the loft will provide 'MP' to a shower located on the ground floor. Am I possibly pushing it a bit and will be better off with a low pressure shower? Am I being silly with all this? Will having 22mm inlet/outlet on the mixer really help that much...

Brilliant thank you. I've found this one from crosswater. Has a 3/4 inlet/outlet but is a bar valve. A bathroom shop I was in implied that bar valves can provide less pressure than a traditional mixer shaped valve. Does sound accurate and if so am I better avoiding the one below...

Oh wow good spot!! Perhaps should have looked at the picture before asking you guys!! If these are indeed my shower pipes would this point to getting a 3/4 inlet/outlet shower and therefore maximising my shower's pressure?

Ok great thanks for your advice. Is that fairly standard to wait till they start before buying the shower etc? If I have 3/4 inch pipes and I go for a 1/2 inch shower am I going to be losing out on available pressure? And vice versa would a 3/4 shower not work as well as with 1/2 inch pipes?

I'm getting my downstairs bathroom done. Replacing the mixer shower. The system is a gravity system, cold water tank in the loft, boiler and hot water tank in airing cupboard on 1st floor and the shower is on the ground floor. The current 10 year old mixer works fine pressure wise and is a 15mm...

After I bled it some more having given it 10 mins water suddenly appeared so presume there was just some delay in the system filling itself. I have seen that tank in the loft and had wondered what it was! Cheers for your help.

I inherited the above boiler on our new house. All works fine despite looking fairly old. One of the rads wasn't warming up so I bled it but after the hiss of air no water followed. I had a modern boiler in my old house and after you bled the rads you had to refill the system under the boiler...

Excellent cheers for the reply. Will go up and have a dig around in the loft this eve and report back. Cheers!

Anyone fancy even speculating?!

Hi, I've got some damp spots in a 2nd floor bedroom close the the ceiling. They're quite bad effectively along the gutter line outside but there's also a smaller section further down (see pictures). They are located where the chimney flue for the kitchen chimney is. My initial thoughts were...

Yes will get it looked at asap. I presume if I leave it switched off at the fuse it's not in imminent danger ie can wait till my spark is next free?

Daniel you my friend are a legend!!! Fuse had flicked downstairs all up and running now. Top top man! Thank you.
