the missus wants a towel warmer in the new bathroom. Do i need to buy two wheelhead valves or should one be a blank - like a lockshield - for the return. Sorry about the thicko question. Thanks

don't use a non GORGI registered engineer - you could invalidate your buildings insurance if you have a problem. Try to find an independant RGI that has been recommended rather than paying BG's inflated prices.

Heather, ther's nothing really wrong with your hot water if it's just cloudy when drawn off. It will clear after a minute or so. This happens because you draw off the hot water quickly after it is heated in your boiler

i need to replace a section of old imperial 3/4inch central heating pipework because of a bathroom refit, the space i need to get into is extremely tight against a wall so i wanted to use a Hep2o 22mm pushfit straight connector. Hep have just told me that i can't use a standard 22mm straight...

thanks gcol

Hi, I've just had my bathroom replastered, soon ready to tile most of the room. Should i 'seal' the walls first with a coat of watery paint (like i do when painting them) or should i just leave alone for the tiler to tile straight onto the new walls ? Thanks for any advice

ah of course, i forgot the pipe narrows - i'll just have to cut on the very small section of straight pipe that i can get to - thanks SAM

the only place i can cut the pipe and add my T, would be on the bend itself. i can't get in enough either side of the bend to cut on a straight bit of pipe. Thanks

i need to t off 22mm CH pipes (flow and return) to connect a rad but the only place that is accessable in on the 90degree bends. Is there a fitting available that would achieve this? I know cutting the pipe would be very awkward but i need to cut the pipe anyway because the current...

bought mine about 4 weeks ago from vipergas. it was 35 quid

hi, i am in the middle of putting in my new bathroom and it looks like sanitation silicone is the favourite adhesive for most plumbers/engineers. i have some but are not sure just how much i need to use ? Also, should i use it to seal the bath and to attach the WC cistern to the wall ...

one of the guys on here recently suggested "celafelt" to me for a similar issue. Hard to buy this in the sheds or plumb center etc...etc... i got my online from BES. Should solve your concerns. V cheap too.

thank you gentlemen

thanks Dave Had a look at the Mira excel - very nice - the MI states that my boiler needs to be a 'modulating bolier', i can't open pdf files on this cr*p computer so can't check myself. i have a Glow-worm 80E, can someone let me know if this is a Modulating boiler or if this shower would work...

hi, i'm going out tomorrow to buy a thermostatic shower to replace my old mixer shower. I have an old Glow-worm 80e combi boiler. I know everyone has their own favourites but can anyone suggest a nice shower unit that won't cost me an arm and a leg. What would be the average price to pay for...

thanks, so if i wrap the copper pipes in Celafelt, they can go directly in the wall and filled with plaster ? No need to box them in ?

Hi, i just read the below text in the "fitting a shower" section on the site Before fitting the pipes that will eventually supply the water to the shower system, it is important to cut off the water supply. In order to protect the pipes, they should be given a waterproof covering and also...

thanks Dave, system was full as water came out of the upstairs bleed offs - i will try your open rad valves into a bucket advice but can you pls tell me why i should have the 3 port valve open on manual before filling up ? Thanks.

thanks, i did try that but it didn't seem to help....

tom, just a thought... is your room stat on the right setting ? this might explain why your heating works okay in the mornings, as it's colder
