Hi Dilalio, Many thanks for your reply. Yes as you say, I think I put this down to learning and being somewhat of a rookie developer! Yes I think we're going to use a timer for the pump so it's on just when required.

Hi, I am a small scale developer and recently finished two houses which sold earlier in the year. Both house buyers have contacted me saying they are not happy that it takes over 1 minute for the hot water to get hot. It transpires the plumber I used did not put in a continuous heat loop to...

Hi, was wondering if anyone out there can give me a rough idea of how many tonnes of spoil (manly top soil and spoil, not clay) they think are in these trailers. I am paying a ground worker to take away spoil from my site and I wanted to check the tonnage he's agreed to take per load was honest...

HI everyone, thanks for your replies, much appreciated. Yes the company are Ltd so it would seem they have decided to close the entire business to claim the 80%. I still think they should have at least 1 plumber on their team available to undertake repairs etc. I'll have to find an emergency...

Hi all, I'm a small scale house builder and have employed a company to install all plumbing and heating system to 2 new-build houses. The houses sold a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately one of the house buyers has already reported a leak (30.3.20) coming from bathroom into living room below...

Thank you for both your replies. Very helpful. Just to confirm. 1. Turn off mains. 2. Remove casing 3. Disconnect Battery 4. Disconnect the mains power to the alarm box. ((what it the best way to make safe the (turned off) live wires?)) 4. Remove the sensors and wiring around the...

Hi, Ive got an old ADT alarm system in my flat, the contract expired a long time ago before we moved in, I do not want an alarm system at the moment. There are lots of old wires and sensors that I want to remove. Can anyone recommend a good method of removing the system. Will the alarm go...

thanks Ben, another unhelpful comment. "I wondered if anyone else has been in this situation and whether there is any alternative to using Southern Gas? " This was my question by the way. are you going to answer it or post more unhelpful comments?

namsang thanks for your post. i know! i was starting to get quite riled by some of the smug "know it all" idiots on here. most failing to answer my initial question. i agree with you on the safety aspect. and in fact i did nearly put a picture up close to the gas pipe! thanks for your...

Cantaloup - Yes, the main pipe tee's off, one onto my meter and other running upstairs to 1st floor flat's meter. I haven't noticed an isolating lever before the tee off point but will double check when I get home. namsag - pipe is steel. looks like the job was done ages ago before copper...

thanks for your reply mysteryman. I'm almost certain that its a primary gas meter. It looks exactly the same as mine. I will check with the upstairs flat though.
