Thanks for that, so he's on the ball then. He mentioned calculating pipe work length and fittings and trying to work out volume on existing service before he would entertain installing a hob. Only other option is electric hob I guess. Thanks again.

When fitting a new gas supply to a gas hob (t into existing 22mm supply to boiler) should the working pressure be taken at the meter and then at the boiler (with hob running full) to ensure the hob isn't causing a problem with the gas supply. I had a gas fitter out today to install a new gas...

Going to be changing the layout of a room and to do so I need to remove a load bearing wall, I'm well aware what is involved with this but unsure what part the Council will play. Do I need a structural engineer for load bearing issue's ? Will I need a building warrant ? Thanks

I have the above shower fitted and encountered a problem yesterday, the shower is a high pressure unit connected to my 37cdi combi. Now I tried to turn the shower on last night and I got a very very low flow from it, I then turned on the hot tap at the WHB quickly and he shower fired up and...

It's an old farm house I'm doing and it would be a mare to try and pipe the lot with 15mm copper. I'll run the flow/returns in 22mm as far as possible then 10mm from there. Got a few big rads going in IE 700x2000 and I was concerned about the ability of 10mm being able to heat this.

Magic, Thanks for that. That was how I was trying to expalin it ! Am I correct in saying 10mm will carry 4kw of heat also ?

I've got the above oil fired combi to fit, The house requires 29Kw of heat. The guy I'm working for has suppplied all the material and I noticed today that all the copper is 22mm for the main flow and return legs. Now whilst looking at the boiler the heating connections are 28mm, Will 22mm...

I'm at my parents tomorrow so can take a few pics. I did actually phone Worcester and they said ideally on a sheet of superlux or similar but it was not imperative due to the boiler being hung on a 1mm steel jig and then the back of the boiler is approx 1mm steel and then the burner is...

Hi All, My parents got a new boiler fitted last week (37cdi) Looks like a very tidy install but I'm curious as to how the installer has mounted the boiler. It's on a plasterboard wall so the installer has cut a piece of 22mm ply large enough to catch the 2 studs and has mounted the boiler...

Hi, Were having a problem with the above boiler,When the heating is switched on the boiler ignites for a few seconds at most and then the red lockout light comes on,It does the same when there is a demand for hot water,Ignites for a few seconds at most then goes to lock out !! The pump...

anyone got a rought idea !

What should the auto bypass be set at with the above boiler,I see it has a range of settings from 0.1-0.6 At what setting is there most resistance 0.1 or 0.6 ? I would assume 0.6 myself ?!

Hi All, I currently have an old Worcester 280 combi in my flat.The one with the motorised diverter valve I'm told. The problem is,I have no DHW at all,The boiler doesn't fire at all when the hot tap is opened,The central heating side is working perfectly. When the C/H is on the...

Suspected wrongly !!!! Gas safe installer was used (It's a rental property,not worth the risk in my opinion,not for the sake of £80.00 !!!!) He is going to drop paperwork into me this evening as he required a new pad of gas safety certs. As the saying goes "Never assume anything"

He has left a reciept.

Hi all, I've just had a new gas cooker installed into a flat I let out,The fitter has not left me with any gas safety certificates ! Should I expect to get one with an installation of a new cooker ? If so,what certificate should I be asking for ??

This interceptor is just before the manhole at the back of my property,My rainwater,bathwater and kitchen sink run into it,My WC waste must be branched after the interceptor as when the pan is flushed there is no movement in the interceptor but when I run the bath there is movement in the...

I've drawing from the architect and they are as clear as mud,All it shows is my new 4" stack connected into drainage out the back !! As you say though,BC will be quick enough to pick any problems.

Hi thanks for the reply, Yep I just googled it also,It is also known as interceptor trap,So it would be perfectly acceptable to connect my 4" soil into this trap then ??

Hi, I've had a plumber at my house as I'm doing a loft conversion,Now I require a new 4" soil pipe installed and the plumber came today and said that he could branch into an existing drain above ground to run the new 4",However on another quote I got the other plumber said that I could not...
