    Do I need a plumber or an electrician? (Unvented work)

    It must be irritating for people posting for advice on here, seeking the advice of time served experts, to receive the constant intrusion of Bernard who has no qualifications here whatever. Bernard, I mean no insult - you were presumably highly skilled in your trade and are probably the...

    Chimney or chimney liner noise ?

    Our Hetas boys should be able to help on this a bit later, but as a quick response - and I'm not Hetas - shouldn't insulating material (eg vermiculite) have been dropped down the chimney flue, thus insulating (and stabilising) your liner? What a horrible, long, sentence! Sorry about that, hope...

    Baxi back boiler - leak.

    I am not sure the OP is allowed to remove enough parts to enable a useful picture to be taken? He is being commendably careful here - we don't want to encourage unauthorized gas work. Forgive me if I am wrong here - Tony will quickly advise.

    Sorry, another best boiler thread, and advice reqd re roof flue

    Razor, is there a link to this on the Intergas site, or do you just have to phone in? I take it the annual service would be an additional charge? My apologies, as I know you have explained all this to me before. But I forget things......

    Kitchen-sink: space needed for plumbing?

    Think Motorbiking means a half width one. As in this example - http://ao.com/product/dfs04r10s-beko-slimline-dishwasher-silver-36659-24.aspx?usemvc=1& Small dishwashers do exist but they can be expensive and unreliable.

    Kitchen-sink: space needed for plumbing?

    I must be misreading something here, I can't quite visualize a sink on top of a work surface. My bad? Bear in mind, the dishwasher will be sharing the water supply and drainage with the sink. All you can aim to do is run all services as close to the wall as possible, leaving you maximum...

    quick conect air con units

    These sound like the pre-gassed self install units that Dicky was talking about recently. He might be on later - he's fitted a few - so might share his knowledge if we ask him nicely.

    Re-run gas supply to boiler - options

    I can't believe there isn't a better way to route those 2 pipes that go right across your fire opening. Not exactly a pretty site.

    silicon beading edge strips?

    Gives me a headache just to look at it, Dilalio! You must be one patient man to do all that.

    Ideal Logic Plus 30 - price and quality?

    As a generalisation, the economics of replacing a very reliable but inefficient back boiler with a potentially less reliable combi aren't good. But - as you are getting it done for free, it would be rude not to. I don't think you have to worry too much about the boiler. But take note of what...

    Dilemma about a central heating boiler

    I have had excellent results from the Adey Magnaclean - but again, Dan has much experience in this area and will hopefully add to this thread with further recommendations.

    Dilemma about a central heating boiler

    I believe Dan has a very poor opinion of the Fernox mag cleaner - the above saga would tend to show why. Well done alwaysworried for reporting back - glad you got the issue sorted!

    Franke mixer tap installation issue???

    I think the op needs to provide a picture in order to obtain more useful help here. Both of existing pipework and the fittings.

    Drayton Digistat 3 to Salus IT500

    Please, before you commit to Salus - consider alternatives. They may be pricier, but there is generally a sound reason for that. Could save you from a world of pain......

    Basin Tap Fixings

    Does the cistern flow fully stop, or keep dribbling? If the former, you just need to adjust the height of the cut off. If the latter, you should be able to get replacement diaphram kit. Isolate the water, undo the knurled nut, and inspect the diaphram to confirm. Not an expensive or difficult...
