So a while ago I re-plumbed my bathroom. We have an old boiler downstairs, water tank upstairs with a header tank in the loft. Against all good advice I teed the bath supply from the shower supply. It was takign ages for the hot water to come through on the shower, so we needed the cold tap...

My gas hob exploded today. Scared the living ££££ out of the OH! One of the nobs blew off and hit the ceiling and so did one of the burner rings. I've isolated gas and electric. My question goes like this. The hob needs to be replaced. At the moment it's a 4 ring burner and the fitting...

Hello. I've had this machine for a few months. It's a cheap replacement but bought new and it's never been particularly good. Recently though it's been going through its cycle and we have streaked and dirty plates with particles dried on, also we keep finding the tablet part dissolved either in...

Any suggestions. Don't want to spend the earth. 2 bar will do. Single impeller to pump hot to mixers. Cold is on mains.

I'm jut about to install a thermostatic shower in an upstairs bathroom. Gravity fed system and currently jst feeding a bath. The current pipes are a 22mm pipe running hot from the tank and a 15mm cold. There's over 4ft head from the loft tank to the shower head. To make life easy I'd planned to...
