I think you have already answered your own question. Rad floor level is on a higher floor to underfloor part, so no need to drain much lower than floor rads are on

Separate taps are safer no doubt in relation to cross contamination. Although check valves add safety. Modern bidets as far as I am aware no longer have water jet in bowl. They have a tap mixer on top with spout

Not surprised your friend is a bachelor!

Yes, that is what was printed, which maybe is a typo. [local unemployment was "higher than 2%".]

If you had bought a drill that can have a dust extractor accessory, then little dust can occur. Or just do as above replies. I tape a piece of cardboard to wall to catch dust, or use a plastic dust pan with rubber edge just a couple inches below drill hole

Wow! If that story is correct, then seems some people in Romania don’t understand what their population have been doing for years in other countries. And a Roman Catholic Priest stirring it up. So much for love thy neighbour

Leak is probably coming through the inside of cartridge and would need the O ring on lower part of spindle replaced

A load of ball cocks. Although it is similar to what is in the Christian bible I think. None of use are infallible but I find it difficult not to judge someone who does completely wrong things. Surely our laws judge, so why shouldn’t we make judgements?

I had forgot about Parkside cordless tools! Note that Lidl sometimes have the new Parkside brushless cordless range in and they come incredibly with a 5 year warranty. They look top quality. More power also than their brushed range. Think the combi drill complete with a high Ah battery and a...

Depends on your sisters budget really. For diy odd wee jobs around the house any modest priced brushed drill would do. I personally would go brushless drill that is on a deal. Bosch do decent 18 volt combi with couple batteries, but it is not a pro drill. Very light and short body, so great in...

On roads that aren’t busy you would think drivers could avoid driving over hedgehogs on most occasions they cross in front of them. It is not as if they are very fast runners.

If water is occasionally discharging from PRV pipe it usually indicates the system pressure is too high, so either the system filling loop is passing water through itself, or the expansion vessel isn’t allowing for expansion. The circulating pump does not increase pressure.

The PRV should be connected to a 15mm copper pipe that you should be able to see outside. Sometimes the pipe is turned back towards the wall outside to prevent risk of someone getting splashed with hot water, or it could be piped to near the ground. Not saying it is the fault, as a decent...

Unless you have the gas qualification, you shouldn’t be working inside the boiler. Have you checked if the pressure relief valve is discharging water when noise is happening?

Also don’t forget to wear a condom!

Just don’t assume that. It can be in one tap somewhere in your home, unrelated to where you use water. Just isolate each tap to rule them out, as will only take a few minutes to do so. Water hammer is a strange thing.

Useful to know. That has got be reconsidering the option of using a cylinder with shower coil. I would be happy with solely a mains fed shower and rest of outlets gravity fed

Unfortunately, although a simple solution, the coil solely for a shower just won’t gain enough heat as you shower. I had actually considered fitting a cylinder with a high gain coil in my own house, but flow rates would have had to been very low for adequate heat to shower. Think (not certain)...

What a lot of people, (including many plumbers) don’t consider is you can use a combi gas boiler and have hot water storage cylinder (vented or unvented). Just use combi hot supply for supplies fairly close by, like kitchen sink hot or nearby bathroom, etc. Then you pipe a typical S plan with...

She’ll be back, - unfortunately.
