Hi, i am planning to swap a radiator in my sons bedroom which is a single panel 600 x 450 radiator - it is a cold room in winter and am hoping putting a double radiator of similar size will help it in the colder months (600 x 500). It is a new ish build (2019) house with a sealed system. Just...

Hi, am planning on replacing a single radiator in my new build (ish) property. One of the bedrooms has 2 x windows, and a single radiaor of 450mm x 600mm and just doesn't seem to get it warm enough due to 2 x windows. Room is approx 3 x 3 ish but has 2 x windows and exposed to SW winds. I assume...

morning all, Had this new cylinder installed summer last year. There was a slight weep (and i mean slight) not from where the pipe enters the cylinder, but to the left of the red handle, on one of the joins. It has stopped now after being nipped up, but wondered if this needs to be addressed -...

Afternoon all, HNY! Is this an acceptable trap for the bath setup - i ask as it drains a bit slow for my liking, nothing too slow, but i don't get the vortex from a typical bath - it has always been slow, and been there for a few years and not got any worse. Sometimes it will drain a bit...

Hi, I'm having my unvented indirect cylinder replaced at some point as it makes popping sounds when heating up and the manufacturer has inspected it and said its where the lagging has come away from the cylinder. Makes an air gap and when hot water is drawn from tap or the cylinder heating up...

Has a gas registered fitter round to service the boiler but he had to leave and go to an urgent job. Took this photo whilst the cover was off, as I am hearing a bit of gurgling from the trap every now and then when the boiler is in operation. It isn't showing any fault codes but every half hour...

Hi all, got a push button flush that was stuck, slow trickle into pan. It is a concealed toilet but has plastic cistern that is slightly accessible. Took cover plate off and couid unfree flush valve by pushing a black lever which is just visible in the photo at the back, back down. Works OK now...

All, I've noticed an uneven part of the floor towards the side of the main bedroom which is noticeable based on the drop on the bottom of the ensuite door. Customer service have looked at it and are happy to work with me to resolve it, but I am not sure its worth the upheaval of ripping up the...

Hi all, is this verge pointing missing some cement between the tile clip and tile? There are gaps all along between the 2 tiles at the end.

Is there anything that can be done to address poor pointing. This is a new build and other than these areas the brickwork looks ok and tidy, but what has gone on here i have no idea, or maybe i am just setting my expectations too high....

Just wanted to get a general opinion of the quality of this plumbing job, no reason to think it is poor but there are experts on here whose opinion i would appreciate. Thanks

Hi all, new house with an unvented system. I have been bleeding radiators ocassionally since i moved in, just 2 that seem to accumulate air but seem to have most out the system now. I have obviously had to top up the pressure since. The heating pressure seems to drop very slightly, but only...

Hi All, Moved into a new house at the end of Jan. Had some cracking noises from where the stud timber walls upstairs were meeting the floor, which were mostly resolved by the builder by packing under them. However i am a little concerned re the deflection in the joists in the main bedroom...

Hi All, apologies for the relatively long post here. I decided to put some inhibitor in my central heating system. I drained down a fair bit (maybe 25litres) and put some Fernox F1 in the feed and expansion tank. I cleaned the tank out beforehand as there was some brown layer in the bottom of...

Hi all, So, will be brief! Moved into house (6 years old), decided upon some advice to turn gate valves off and on again then back 1/4 turn to keep free. Most turned ok, one was stiff but now fine. However my question is I can't remember if one was not fully open or not! I think at least one...
