I've trawled the internet looking at tons of posts about this but non seem to match my situation? August this year replaced rear discs/pads and calipers as 1 had seized and damaging the disc. Before this no issue with the handbrake but after I've been back soooo many times I think I could...

Hello, Its been a long time but I have a question! Had a radiator fitted back on the wall (its been off for a couple of years). We had an airlock so the plumber shut down some radiators and got the last 2 in the circuit to work but now they seem to be intermittant. The pipes going to them...

My mother has been having issues with reliability on hot water with the above boiler and yesterday it totally went then came back at a mild temp. RGI came out and replaced a thermistate, boiler working all is well. Today hot water totally gone and not come back so the RGI came back...

Well in 1 way glad for obviously reasons. BG came to do 1st check over, we've taken homecare out after we'd had issues with the frozen condensate and the boiler that it is. It was 5 years old last November. Said away set co2 alarm off. He took the 'combustion' cover off and it was...

My day job is on a local market doing admin we had a massive rainwater harvesting tank set up last June and only recently has it started working. The original company that installed it went bust last month but my boss is talking about moniters on the inlet for mains water when its not raining...

Uncle brought a granite sink from B+Q with part hole drill. He doesn't want to bash it out. Will cutter in link work ok? I presume the arbor in the middle will be ok too...

Can you get a TRV that is solely a 10mm backnut so I don't have to use these olive things and try and cut off the backnut. I've got a Danfoss one from Screwfix and as it didn't state all the measurements I thought it would just be a 10mm olive like a lockshield I replaced for mother last...

Around this time every year I put a dose of sentinal in the system normally via the F+E tank in the loft. Access is more then tight and with having to drain down is a pain in the bum to be honest. Is there anything wrong with using the injected x100 into a bleed valve of a rad rather then...

My ideal he24 will not fire up. 0 is displayed on the boiler and the manual says that if any problems its not the boilet. I've tried to put the heating on to take the chill off, it worked yesterday but nothing today. Have turned boiler on and off, turned off and reset honeywell control...

it works fine, everything went to plan, hardest bit being getting the drawer unit out where the dishwasher will go. I didn't fancy using solder fittings in the back of the cupboard and been as you can't see them I used compression fittings. Problem I have is with the elbow, I've tighten and...

Right I am back to wanting to install a dishwasher, 2 with 2 kids and going back full time am going to need 1 I think. I have brought a macalpine twin waste V33WM it says on the bag, I've opened it up and on the bag it tells you which way to but the rubbers to connect to 40mm pipe but the...

right I've decided not to waste my cash on a dishwasher and instead am going to upgrade my sink which ain't great anyway. It measures 950mmx520mm. Only size i can find is 950x500 will this be ok to use and seal at the back rather then use the brackets. Don't think the bigger sizes are going...

In my infinate ideas I am toying with the plan to remove a draw unit in the kitchen and replace it with a dishwasher. Its on a different wall to the sink and waste but having reviewed it I can extend everything. To make the job easier I want to use plastic pipe for the water but can i buy...

Hello all, Finally finished my bathroom after 2 weeks, well chuffed with it and could not have done it without this forum!! Anyway have been speaking to my uncle who is about to have the hallway and kitchen floor tiled. He is taking out the washing machine but unlike mine with a stand...

Well plodding along ok with bathroom (not had chance today to look at bath but not to worry! Went in the cupboard today that houses the mains stopcock and it smelt a little damp. Inspected the stopcock all is well but as I pulled my hand out it was hit by a little trickle of water. Got...

yes I am still on with the bathroom - 2 weeks it'll be on Thursday although to be fair I was ill for most of last week so didn't do anything. Right after finally levelling the tw@t the walls are way out with it comes to fixing it to them. If you have it flush with the wall under the...

yes still on with the bathroom although to be fair have done about 2 days on it so far. I have brought a reducing end feed t that I presumed worked like a normal tee in terms of over the pipe then solder on but the 22mm part of the tee won't go over a 22mm piece of copper??

Am well on with my bathroom install (well more rip out today floorboards and all!) by the end of tomorrow I will be looking to connected to a new stack. I have a tee for the pan connector question is can I cut into the round integral type bosses on the side of the tee for the basin waste or do...

I've taken the bath panel off to see whats what before taking the bath out on Thursday. I assumed/thought that bath taps had 3/4 inch thread and so the pipework to it would be 22mm. However the hot tap is 22mm and the cold tap is 15mm. Can you buy and 3/4 inch to 15mm straight tap connector?

Well started my soon to be regretted bathroom rip out yesterday. Starting with taking off rad to paint walls and then replace with towel rail. Wasn't going to drain down system yet but as both valve decided to weep like a swine when I turned them off I had no choice. Drained off from new...
