I asked him many times put things right, but he would not. I then bounced his cheque so he sued for non payment. Its a very long story, but in short... He started an argument in my home that upset my 3 year old son and so I counter claimed on the grounds of 'duress'. He won the case as the...

I've had the same problem on 3 occasions on my 5 year old combi and it's always the diverter valve needs replacing and their not cheap at well over £100. I took out insurance that cost less than £100 for the year and it worked out allot cheaper than having to pay a plumber and you miss out the...

Yes am thinking of the small claims route. I have contacted trading standards and also waiting a reply from his solicitor to see if he is continuing the demand for payment.

The idiot fitter was in his early to mid 50's and told me he had been doing it for over 30 years. The young plasterer was simply slapping it over an already botched job. The owner originally said there was nothing wrong with job and gave a load of bull about the many letters of thanks he had...

I have a continuing bad experience with a company that fitted plaster cove and arch to my 25ft lounge. At the end of the first day I could see the finish was very poor and I told him so. He said he would put it right the next day, but instead he carried on slapping up cove as bad as ever. To...

I am fitting extra radiators and using a mixture of 10mm micro bore and 15mm copper pipe. When fitting 10mm to 15mm copper pipe in a central heating system, is it true that you can only reduce in size and not the other way, as it will cause trapped air.

Thanks for your reply. The upstairs WC cubical was removed which involved removing and replacing a small ceiling joist, but the areas above the bedrooms are well supported. We had a similar but more severe problem with the main adjacent bedroom before any alteration to the bathroom and WC. The...

The ceiling of my 1971 3 bed detached makes a sharp cracking noise during the night and sometimes during the day. It sounds like some one clapping their hands together and is loud enough to wake the dead. My guess is it's to do with the change in temperature causing expansion and contraction in...

Tapping noise seems to come from beneath floor boards in 1st floor and amplified through radiators in bedrooms 1 & 2 only. Noise starts about 10 minuets after the combi boiler fires up in the morning and is intermittent with each tap gradually getting louder, then slowing and then stops for...
