I have a client with much higher pressure in their mains-fed cold than their tank-fed hot water, who wants their two showers boosted with pumps. Will pumps equalise the water pressure across the H&C or will it simply magnify the pressure of each the same? i.e. will I also need a Pressure...

I have a client who has a shower arm about 12" in length poking out the bathroom wall, curving through 90degrees to a nice shower head. Now she wants the arm extending in length to about 20-30" (with some form of support to the ceiling) and I cannot find any "standard" shower arms in this kind...

I have a prob with my central heating and need to find out where the heating circuit is. Is there an easy way to lift laminate flooring without shafting it for good, to get to the floorboards underneath and investigate?

Through a process of elimination I've worked out that I've a blockage somewhere in the heating circuit of my vented central heating. When the 3-port valve is totally h/w, the boiler works fine and we get hot water. When the valve is totally c/h, the boiler thermostat cuts the boiler out about...

Please don't shoot me down in flames for my stupidity, but I was wondering if a home-made power flush might be a good idea or not, considering I'm skint just before Xmas and my heating is crap? I've tried lots of other work, and come to the opinion that power flush is required (see my previous...

Quick question: open vented central heating system, having probs right now, need to know if the pump (which is in the airing cupboard, just before the splitter valve (left to tank, right to heating) is instructed to turn on or off by the boiler or not? If not, please advise where it might be...

My pump sounded knackered, so I replaced it (quite easy job) this evening. I noted the water in the pipes was black, although not sludgy. The new pump duly ran for a while and all was well (although the rads seemed to take forever to even start getting lukewarm. Then the boiler stopped, as...

My cold water tank in the attic seemed fine until quite recently. Every now and then (it seems random, perhaps once every week or fortnight) the overflow pipe flushes water into my back garden for about a minute. It comes out with quite a flush (i.e. not dripping, but flowing out at a rate of...
