    Broken waste pipe

    Something like this? So there's no access under the bath once is set down, so the waste has to be connected to the bath then it's set down onto the floor, hence wanting to use a flexi connection onto the bath waste ? Is there any room for a trap under the bath as that's usually an issue with...

    Outdoor Sink Drain Pipe Fix?

    As far as the regs are concerned, a waste pipe discharging into a gully should discharge below the grate level but above the seal but can only be used for grey water if the gulley is connected to a combined drain/sewer Hence why most plastic gulley grates have waste/down pipe cutouts

    Broken waste pipe

    The key is if it is solvent Weld (ABS/PVC). If it is then I have got away with a piece of 40mm cut lengthways before. That then has a sliver cut out of it lengthways so it will shrink enough to use as an internal liner, glue down the cut and then glue a new piece of 40mm over the top. All cuts...

    Installing frost protection on existing S plan system.

    I would also suggest all the pipework has a high quality, high rated insulation fitted too, if it hasn't already.

    The mini receiver is wired the same way. Power is connected from L and N (Brown and Blue), switching is performed by Grey and Black for a combi. The Mini itself is wireless and battery powered.

    Radiator not working re-fitted after plastering.

    Is it a sealed system or is it open vent and supplied from a cistern in the loft?

    Is it possible to use a Salamander CT55+ XTRA as a mains booster before combi?

    Unfortunately the mains booster pumps are all pretty similar and cheapest is around £250 and as suggested, mains cannot be pumped more than 12L/Min.

    Worcester vs Vaillant vs Gloworm...

    TBH a boiler can sometimes be only as good as the installer. Most modern boilers will run happily, without issues, if they are installed properly, looked after regularly and are connected to a system that is in good condition, maintained properly, setup properly and run correctly. Trouble is...

    MDPE Protection

    Absolutely, warm it up, or bend it opposite to itself and it will straighten up, should be more then enough to get the insulation around it

    UFH mixer valve pin replacement

    That silver ISO looks like it's on a Tee up to the other pipe? Not sure from the photo so unsure what it may isolate or if it's some kind of bypass if it's connects into the pipe above. Not sure about the remote sensing head either, all depends on whether it works or not really and if the...

    MDPE Protection

    You can get specific insulated ducts for every size of MDPE. Shallowduct is the one I used to use for 25/30mm MDPE, from the same people that produce the Insuduct. Not sure what you mean, MDPE is relatively flexible?? It comes in loops?

    UFH mixer valve pin replacement

    That's a contact temp sensing head - not a TRV (thermostatic radiator valve) though they do work in the same way. The vial sits inside the pocket at the top of the pump to maintain set flow temps. Obviously the valve itself is damaged and needs replaced. Yes the system will need isolated and...

    Stixall Vs CT1

    Water sealing what? Neither of them are a standard silicone which would be used for standard sealing, like baths, showers etc, they are a silicone polymer adhesive which is quite different stuff.
