Hi there, Recently had my bath installed. The bath waste holds a couple of inches of water but if I put anything more than this in, it starts draining. It's a pop-up waste with a rubber washer inside 2.5cm inner diameter, 1cm thick ring. I bought the bath pop-up waste from the internet...

My problem is:- 1. My water heater cuts out about 1 minute after I turn off a hot water tap. 2. With the hot water turned off, when I re-ignite the water heater, the main burner goes on rather than just the pilot light 3. After a minute, the water heater cuts out because the water...

I've just had a boiler installed in a gap next to my fireplace. The boiler is 29cm deep, but the gap is only 30 cm deep, which leaves very little room to fit a proper door. I thought that maybe, I could fit a lattice door which would mean that I've got a solid enough frame but the lattice middle...

I've got what seems like a good quote back so far from a HVCA/Trustmark approved organisation. They've quoted me £3545 (inc VAT) for a complete new central heating system consisting of:- 1. Glowworm Micron 50FF 2. 6 Barlo Round-Top radiators 3. 5 VT117E Traditional radiator thermostat 4...

On my search for a UK plumber, I found this useful site http://www.iphe.org.uk/consumer/toptips.html#finding Item 10 made me laugh. "Unfortunately, quite a few will also call you a 'gobshite'" should be added, I think.

From inspection of my central heating system pipework (using my eyes & a fridge magnet), I have the following:- kitchen - pipes in boxing and under unit - copper bathroom - radiator loop - copper living room - radiator loop - steel cloakarea - pipes to upstairs - copper bedroom 3 -...

I've had 2 plumbers around quoting for a new boiler. 1st plumber said that I'd need to replace all of the piping because it was steel and wouldn't be able to withstand a powerflush. 2nd plumber went on about a copper strike when my piping was installed and said that it should be replaced...

As some of you know, I have an old-fashioned Servowarm Supreme radiator back boiler whose flue is currently located at the front of my house to the left of the front door. The guy that came around yesterday seemed intent on putting the new boiler in the kitchen or bathroom, and I was curious...

I live in Wimbledon and am thinking a reasonable estimate for the replacement of my boiler would be:- 1. Potterton Condensing Boiler £700 2. Labour cost of installation £400 2. Powerflush £400 3. Creation of new flue in external wall £200 4. Bricking up of old flue £50 5. Running...

I intend to replace my Servowarm Supreme boiler but suspect it will take a few weeks to get a new one. In the meantime, there is water leaking from the boiler. It looks like it's dripping from a gasket. I've tried tightening 2 bolts which hold the casing either side of the gasket together...

I moved in to my house 18 months ago and got a letter last year from Servowarm telling me that my Servowarm Supreme Electric boiler was past it's serviceable date. Last night, I noticed that some water has been leaking from the old boiler for some time (signs of corrosion). Bearing in mind...
