we **** them, you eat them!

well for starters i said im a kitchen fitter, not a plumber, and i came on here asking for help. And i plumbed the hot and cold, didnt touch the boiler - one of your rabble touched that (goes to prove not all plumbers are trustworthy eh seco). Next time ill add too much information, just for...

yeah cheers everyone, ill get back on the phone to the plumber and get him here to sort it!!

seco services, whats your problem?!! Typical essex ***** cowboy im guessing, feeding your inflated ego by trying to help DIYers (DIY website remember) and when your amazing extended knowledge doesnt know something you slate them for being a DIYer on a DIY website, probably ****ed off coz you...

well one thing i have just remembered might help out.... When we moved in the pressure on the hot water was pitiful. As in the bath would be cold by the time it filled. Called a plumber out and he said he didnt know what the problem was (but agreed there was a problem - go figure!!) He said...

haha. Im a kitchen fitter by trade, so mostly deal with timber, but obviously there is alot of plumbing involved in a kitchen. Im not saying im competent enough to plumb in a boiler, but hot and cold water is pretty basic plumbing when all is said and done do you not agree?!

oh, and had it serviced after id replumbed the water, and the guys said there was nothing wrong with it and everything was fine, and promptly charged us £120!!

ok well the boiler is a worcester combi. Not sure what model but its similar to the 240 model, looks almost identical. Im not sure what other info i can give you, but the whole system has been maintained by British Gas by the previous owner until 12 months ago. Ive re-plumbed the water...

Please someone help me sort my heating noises out!! Whenever I run the hot tap (more usually the shower though) the CENTRAL HEATING pipes make an incredible noise. like an aeroplane landing or something. Im certain its the central heating pipes (although it only happens when the hot water is...

Apologies if this has already been covered - I dont really get on with the search function on this site!! My Brandt dishwasher wont drain. I presume hardly any Brandt issues come up, but im also presuming most dishwashers work in the same sort of way, so problem solving is interchangable to...

touché! ill rephrase - itd be a right pain in my arse to do it.

I have changed ( i know i shouldnt of, but i have!) the master socket in my house. There are 2 pairs of wires entering the house tho. I have connected the orange and the white up and everything seems dandy, but what are the other two wires for? Are they for another line if i wanted one? or do i...

Why on gods earth is the pressure in my combi system dropping?!! I set it to about 1.5 - 1.6 cold, but over the course of a week it will of dropped down to 1 - 1.2. Another week and its even lower. I know the obvious answer is a leak in the system, but there is no reason for me to believe...

as far as im aware your not allowed to pump water from a combi - the boiler sets the pressure (well, strictly speaking its the mains pressure) and so its not viable to try to increase this pressure. The pressure may have dropped because your water tank may have been in such a position as to...

If i want to remove a socket from a ring and cannot re-lay cable from the two sockets either side, whats the best/legal way of joining the cables that were in the socket? I can get under the floor boards so would it be a JB under there? is that ok?

ok - can i put the dishwasher on the 6mm with the hob and oven or is that too much for that cable too?

Hi guys! I have a house which has a floor area of 130sqm (consisting of ground floor, 1st floor and cellar) and it only has 1 ring main. I have installed a cooker cable to the kitchen for the hob and oven so theyre not on the ring any more, but need to add power to the living room (only 1...

um, kitchen, living room, bedrooms, and re-routed (not new install) a light in the bathroom - nowhere near any of the no-go-zones.

i most certainly did not! is that an issue?
