A series of different plumbers have told me I have still have lead piping coming into the house. I have found some who does moleing and can replace the pipe that goes under my driveway into the house. The water company want a photo of the lead pipe before they will change their part of the...

Hello, in our new house we’ve inherited a new heat only boiler. It’s an ideal logic heat h24. This one: https://idealheating.com/products/logic-plus-heat We want to get rid of the gravity fed system (cold water tank in loft, smallish cylinder in airing cupboard) and replace with unvented system...

Thanks for this. Will look into it. I would not be surprised if there is no valve.

That’s exactly what it is! Thanks very much

Ah sorry. That’s loaded on its side. It’s like that but vertical….

I want to redo the downstairs loo. I’m have zero plumbing skills but a lot of time and patience. what is going on with these pipes though? Why isn’t there a hot, cold and waste? Is there an extra cold pipe?

The tv only works when plugged into the aerial so I don’t think it’s WiFi. I’m fairly sure it’s not free sky as it’s the standard aerial coax connection that seems to work. We either have a hidden antenna in the loft that we cannot see, or the coax cable is acting as an aerial in itself.

ok, it’s not free sat then as we are using the normal coax for terrestrial freeview. Truly flummoxed

We’ve been up here all day. There is no aerial. I wonder if we’re picking up free sat. We are using an old Sony Bravia. The blurb says it has a DVB-S2 (digital satellite) tuner that can receive standard free-to-air satellite channels We are using a regular coaxial cable and did a scan for...

We live 18 miles as the crow flies from our transmission tower and we have a good line of sight as we’re on a hill. BUT surely we have an antenna somewhere?!

You’re correct. We have unplugged the booster box in the loft and the tv still works. So the signal does not come through the aerial booster box. The mystery continues

We are trying to get our TVs set up in the new house. In some of the rooms we can get 100+ free channels. In others we get a couple of poor quality channels. But none of the aerial points are where we want them so we’d like to move them and get everything working properly. Problem is we have no...

Yes, looking at it now, I think the handle movement isn’t fully engaged. How do I remedy this? Maybe it’s time for a locksmith

I have replaced the gearbox on a French door lock. I now cannot turn the Eurocyclinder key. It's a new Eurocylinder so should not be worn. The gearbox replacement is now allowing the handles to be lifted. But the key will not turn. Any ideas?

yes, that makes sense. I have internal plans. Thanks!

Thanks, I already have the architects plans. I am now wondering why they would charge to submit them to planning when this seems like a job I can do myself. Unless I am missing something. I have the same question for submission to building regs. Perhaps he will do additional drawings at that...

Hello, I have paid our architect for plans of our internal works (no planning needed) and extension (planning needed). He has offered to prepare and submit a planning application and prepare and submit a building regulations application. There is a cost of a few hundred pounds associated with...

I would like to fix this! But I’m not sure it can be done without new doors? I don’t have the budget for new doors at the moment so was planning on relying on the set of doors in front of this set for security.

Hello, I’ve been quote £2.5k to change 5 locks on my external doors to Eurocylinder. Two of those are the old mortice locks. Anyway I’m going to have go myself but struggling to find a replace euro profile sash lock replacement. The old mortice lock I currently have has the following...

understood. Guess it depends how brave I am as a first time plumber
