If the house is empty in these temps I'd drain it down every night while your working in there :wink:

cheers - learn something new everyday! :mrgreen:

heard this mentioned a few times on here - what is it/they?

yep, a load of silicone or better still no nails, once its tiled it shouldnt go anywhere

yep, there was a cooker outlet, was more concerned about danger issues than the wiring itself becuase if I report it the tenant will probably get recharged -, ah well if it saves a life I get it repoted in the morning, thanks

Hi all - was called to a leak at this council property today - I know its not wired correctly but is it dangerous and needs reporting? - thanks

Hi all - Am I right in thinking that I use L1 and L2 and it doesnt matter which way they connect to the boiler (it just had a loop wire)? many thanks

so could a bath mixer tap cause that?

try a couple of things; if you have a rim block on - take it off - countless times I've been out to wcs not flushing and its been that have a look at where the flush pipe goes into the back of the pan, there might be a bit of a blockage there try cleaning out the underside of the rim...

Hi all - is it a no-no to run plastic 10mm straight to a rad? - its not going to be seen - just curious

me too - can imagine the taps would be a right b***** to change aswell - good luck :wink:

you might struggle to get tap heads to fit the inserts tbh - much better to change the inserts and heads at the same time

:D

oh its deffo a botched job - who in their right mind puts a shower pump on a fortic and then wires it to work only when the hot water is on via the programmer :wink: - I'll be honest, I didnt even look at the pump under the bath, I just looked at the wiring, a fortic cylinder.... Sorry love...

and no doubt the overflow will be going again in the morning :evil:

Hi all, went out to a leaking overflow today - found to be coming from a fortic indirect cylinder - isolated the supply to the ball-valve via a ball-fix valve that was only serving the ballvalve, changed the washer and seat and turned the water back on, jobs a good-un, valve shutting off...
