Hi Guys, Any ideas what the problem might be? Its a fully pumped system, conventional bolier with header tank and HW cylinder. Have no problems with the hot water. Pump appears to be working fine. Think it could be the Honeywell mid pos playing up, was thinking that maybe it is not...

Thanks for the information, now the slightly more technical questions! Am confident in doing the actual wiring, but just need some pointers on ths one.... I have a fused spur in the house, whith the 3 core goes into the current light, assuming that this will wire into the new light...

Hi Guys, My outside light has finally given up the ghost, so need to replace. The light is by the front door under quite a large porch area, which has always caused a problem when walking down the steps to the house the sensor does not pick up movement until very close to the porch...

You sure this is not at a training centre and you are just showing off your latest pipework? Why all the soldered fittings? Why not use pulled bends?

Hi guys, need to fit a the above but the property has no hot water, will a standard basin cold pillar tap fit, or be small leaving a gap around the whole? Hope this makes sense!!! Many thanks

Cant see a reason why its 'not allowed' but you MUST get BCO first, charges depend on the actual cost of work involved. Dont understand why people try and dodge this, its one form, a bit of money, couple of inspections, sign off, job done, everybody happy! You could just do it, but will...

I just never understand why poeple pay a plumber to do a job, let him/she leave if its not working, then come on sites like this asking for help. The buck stops with him, get him back to sort it out......................

Use Loctite 55 thread, wrap round male thread, and tighten up, it allows you to 'back up' without leaks, never had a leak with this stuff! Will wait to be shot down on this answer but only going from my experience!

Yes, bottom of bath, hit wih hammer along base both ways, come up the edges and onto the ridge of bath, keep going till it breaks. Forgot to mention, it will sound like oyu are hitting bg ben, and also, watch your feet, as, and trust me, it hurts when they catch your toes!!!

You need a 'back to wall' type toilet seat, i.e. Top fixing. Local merchants or B&poo should be able to help

Lump hammer and safety glasses! hit center of bath all the way along then the same across to break enamel, continue hitting, chunks might break off, but you will end up with 4 pieces. Be CAREFULL edges are sharp, still quite heavy but each piece can be carried byone person. Good luck

Dont take this the wrong way, but why should plumbers be spending there time sorting out your plumbers problem? If he is a regular plumber of yours, he should be back quick smart to sort it out, however long it takes him, its part of his job!

If a plumber drained and moved the rad, get on the phone and get him back to sort it. Its his problem, not yours.... :evil:

If you only have one bathroom, shower over is the way to go. A house without a bath, might not decrease the actual value of the property, but will hugely decrease the potential buyers market. No one with children will buy without a bath, unless they love the house so much and are happy to...

You cant pump to an electric shower, the pressure/flow is relevent to how quick the shower can heat the water. Only option might be to increase the kw rating of the shower if the electric cable is big enough.

You seen the price of condoms lately!!! £12 ish for a drain easy which will last years and help with future plumbing probs, or £12 for condoms that you cant use for there purpose! LOL!!!!

you can get a 'Drain Easy' kit from most merchants, used for bunging F&E to change rad valves etc, but you can use one to bung the outlet from CWS. As long as the tank connectors are not the type with two ridges on the inside!

Dont drain it, find the outlet from your cold water store and bung it.

Good luck chap. Will you create a lot of dust - Hell yes! But its great fun! Regarding the pipes - Not really sure what you are doing as not seen previous thread, cant you pipe up, pop the valve on a prop up with etc, where it will be, then foam? This should hold the pipes in place whilst...
