Seems to be OK, fitter says the gurgle was because there wasn't as yet any water in the trap, demonstrated it this pm. and as quiet as the grave, well well, panick over for now. Thanks everyone, have learned something today comments helpful.

thanks joe 9o The soil pipe extends beyond the fascias and has a plastic mesh cover on I assume this is open vented. Sorry on a learning curve at the moment. My local building control have told me to get an anti vac bottle trap. This does seem a fix for poor plumbing I know but my toilet...

Just had a quick look online and all the anti vac traps are plastic my is a chrome cloakroom basin it would look terrible.

Thanks, how would I know which is which the one I have is a cheapo from wicks because the one ordered with the sanitary ware was faulty and the fitter needed one to get on.

My external soil stack had been reduced to below upstairs window level and an internal air vent fitted, no idea why this was done but never had a problem and it had been like that for years. Just had a wall hung toilet and washbasin fitted along with new bathroom, everything seemed fine until...

Thanks denso, The plasterer/tiler has over boarded the ceiling, stripped the old plaster off external walls dry lined and skimmed, it took 3 days and cost me £290 over the quote because the plumber only quoted for skimming, there was not way those walls could have been skimmed. He wanted...

He assures me the chipwood is marine and suitable for the job they just don't colour it green any more. On closer inspection the shaver socket is not used as an extension but has not been disconnected and pushed up into the loft space, the new cable is in place and I assume will be connected...

Thank you calorific, I don't know what he bedded it on will ask The reason my trust in him has been dented and I feel the need to check a few things is that everything went really well for a few days. Wall hung loo frame cistern neatly done plasterboarded works a treat. Soil stack top...

My plumber has fitted a slimline resin (not stone) shower tray on my suspended bathroom floor. The floor is to be tiled and I have noticed that the 18mm ply is butted up to the tray and not underneath it, do I need to discuss this with him as I understood the tray should be fitted on top of the...

Hi all I am having a gerberit duofix WC frame and cistern up200 fitted in a few weeks can anyone tell me how deep the boxing in will be when finished, crucial for the size of bath I can get away with. Or better still the WC is 365 x 500 would it be possible to give me an idea of total...

I am having a new bathroom fitted next month and changing my old back boiler for a combi at the same time. Considering an Aqualisa HI QU digital shower. I did a search on this site and there seems to be more problems than praise for this type of shower, is this a fair reflection of digital...

Yes all pensions and benefits stopped. Rang them all and followed it up with a letter and copy of interim death certificate. Had refunds from all utility companies. Bank account I know about frozen. Just state pension overpaid by one week. A recluse, didn't belong to any clubs led a...

I am the Administrator of my late brothers estate which consists of cash only. No wife, children, owns no property or complicated investments. Probably as simple as it can get when submitting application for probate. However he has a cash nest egg and from bank statements it is clear this...

OK Thanks. Because the research I have just done on converting to a sealed water system is that the extra pressure could cause all sorts of problems on an old system with leaks etc. My radiators have all been replaced with TVR's but my pipe work is pre metric and half of my rads are...

In the installation guide for my Glow-Worm56/2F BBU it says 'This boiler can be used on an unrestricted open vented system with gravity hot water' (which is what I have) or a fully pumped vented system. It also says A kit and instructions, Part No. 426520 is available to enable the back...

Thanks guys. The unvented cylinder sounds a good option. The cylinder we have is too big anyway, and even If we did change the boiler I would have hoped to have been able to decommision the old one and keep the existing fire. It looks just like the electric ones that are part of the new...

OOOPS! Just found a year old thread asking pretty much the same question. Seems the jury is still out even amongst gas engineers.

I have a Glow-Worm gravity fed back boiler unit with a Fireblaze 2 fire front, the fire looks good and system works fine approx 18/19 years old. New pump fitted 18 months ago and complete set of replacement ceramics for the fire effect in the loft. (These are now obsolete so bought them...

Thank you big-all you are right. Age Uk have been brilliant and confirmed what the probate solicitor said put my mind at rest as to the possibility benefit could have been paid at the time, very efficient. Confirmed the info given below is 'bunkum'. CAB hopeless hadn't got a clue, lady...

I sort of understand what you are saying. We lived in different parts of the country. So because I had this cash I told my siblings I would cover all expenses re funeral and we could sort it out later. I had provisionaly booked an undertaker local to him, contacted police for Property ref...
