Changed twin taps on ceramic basin. Old taps brass burnished, scratched get the picture? Replaced taps with chrome plated ones. Problem is the basin has three holes. Two fer the taps and one fer the pop up waste. Need to find a supplier for the pop up waste (sorry no pic) it looks like a vinegar...

want to source a 4" extractor... the type that has switch activated opening/closing louvres attached to the fan unit to reduce draughts. Everywhere I've looked so far just has fan units with rigid louvres and the separate outside louvres.. the sort that flap about in the wind and let draughts...

i had an ace at previous property. it was old tired and on its last legs. the previous owner did not leave any literature re: installation/commissioning/servicing. (the fact that it was only getting 15mb gas cos it was served from a 5 metre run on 15mm did not help either!) set the boiler to...

have a cooker located on an internal wall with a chimney style hood above. The extractor function can either be set to recirculating (with carbon grease filters) as it is now, or ducted. Problem is; the shortest run for ducting is 2.4 ms and I'm concerned that the fan may not have ehough umph...

replaced an immersion 2 months ago. everything fine till last night. not heating up water. used my volt meter to check electrical connections.OK between neutral and live where live is wired into the stat but no current between neutral and where live (prewired) exits stat and runs to live clamp...

Thanks. Already bled/vented rads b4 firing. aav loosened too. But when I bled the pump the water that trickled out was very dirty and consequently, had a high viscosity. Drained down again and checked the pump. Was very stiff when I tried to rotate it.

halstead quattro gold located in garage. primary flow and return run up to first floor then t off drop down to downstairs and continue upstairs. Drain off in garage, no drain off for downstairs section. Changed rads throughout. Had to drain off using self cutting valve as no drain off cock...

oh dear! Re-alligned pipework off vented system (flow and return cw and dhw) and hung a brand new Ideal excel 30kw boiler 3 weeks ago ready for my commissioning engineer. Wouldn't fire, kept locking out. Between the 2 of us it took 10 mins to diagnose an electrical fault (prob PCB) visually...

You could yes but for aesthetics you might have to do a bit of jiggery pokery. Pop up wastes usually have a dial on the overflow to turn which activates the lever raising and lowering the plug. If you substitute a chrome plug you may have to give consideration to where you attach the chain...

I hate pop up wastes for this very reason... mechanisms arent altogether reliable. Worse when waste is located in the middle of the bath at the legth/wall end. If the bath is "sealed" (some people will insist on having them with a rebated ply wooden subframe and then tiling.. without any...

some inlet valves have a habit of going clunk as the float stops the flow of water through the valve into the cistern. If the inlet valve has a service or ball fix valve fitted underneath, try reducing the flow rate by turning the slot a little. The cistern will fill a little slower but this may...

you really need to give a more detailed account of the type of appliances that you have currently installed. Also information on how the pipes are going to be run floor void??? or solid floor in extension??? Be more specific and try and break down your questions into separate parts. I'm...

lol a lot at ferret!!! :D You can adopt a ferret from rescue centres for about a tenner and they will look after them when you go away on your hols. Our little jill, tilly mcgoo is so soft and placid shed want to invite any rodent in for tea! They make super pets and the smellier the...

cheers would appreciate that very much! Ian, my gas man, has only ever fitted 1. He said that they are relatively new on the UK market. Think you have my e-mail addy. I got urs so I'll send you a blank message just in case

if the olive is dammaged or as I suspect, may have been damaged by overtightening (very tight nuts): try carefully cutting through the olive with a junior hacksaw. Then lift/prize off with a sharp slotted screwdriver. Take care not to nick the tube. Reassemble with a new olive. PTFE around the...

Cheers Kev! Think me and the missus will have to take the plunge. Might as well run the new feed in readiness. I'll send her under the floor to run the 22mm for it! 8) Anyone else rate these boilers????
