Anyone have a useful answer so that when I call a gas safe engineer I have an idea. Used to be a bathroom fitter for many years plumbed rewired pretty much built my house but I know I cannot touch gas which is why I am looking for help.

Hi I am having two separate issues with this not very good boiler. The first is it cuts out and won't fire even though temperature has not been reached on the thermostat. It does this after it has been running for a while and rads are hot. Could it be a thermo cut out as it gets too hot? The...

Looks like everyone as stumped as me then!

I am doing some work for a customer but i am at a bit confused why i have no water in a loft conversion and i am looking for some ideas. Customer has a cloakroom in the loft extension. They have a monoblock tap on the sink which don't give good flow at best of times, however, i have no hot...

ok thanks. I could go into loft and drill higher but it will be extremely difficult to gain access to get a ladder up the side of the house to put the external grill on

as previously stated pipe has to be pertty straight for these valves.Some times doubling up with two washers will work.

I am about to refit a ensuite for a customer and could do with fitting a 4" fan. Only throble is the ensuite is very narrow and the only external wall has a window across. Unable to go through roof without removing tiles. Bathrooms are not a problem for me but the ins and outs of house...

Please can someone advise if i am able to use marmox board straight onto 22mm chipboard flooring using flexi floor cement? Should i also screw down or will cement be sufficient?

good thinking will try the 135. Cheers

no not too far. All i have effectively done is add a horizontal bend below the floor as opposed to above it. My only fear is that the bend below the floor is the one that goes directly into the sewer so therefore should be vertical (by the books)

I am fitting a bathroom and want to canvas opinion on whether this is possible. Customer lives in a bungalow and has one wc (separate sewerage to bath/shower waste water). I have pulled the floor up and have found a large radius bend below the floor which comes straight up through the...

was thinking about connector blocks within the electric shower housing

Thanks fellas for advice . only problem with doing gas is having the knowledge of all the boilers (fixing etc). I imagine this does not happen overnight!

did C&G 2 about 6 years ago. Have been doing bathrooms and plumbing since so aware of different types of systems.

I am considering looking at installing unvented cylinders and was hoping someone could give me a bit of info. I mainly do bathrooms and odd plumbing jobs but generally this does not involve cylinder work with the exception of putting flanges onto vented systems for pumps etc. Looking to...

Sorry i forgot to say depth of valve is about 300 mm so cutting out for pipework will be at least 150mm

similar size different shape. I would think that there is a gap between the two adjoining walls but i wouldnt know until i starting hammering out. Should at least be double thickness and not just one block i would hope.

Thanks for replys. Normally i do chase brickwork out so happy with that concept. The problem is this is not a surface mounted valve it is recessed and a big lump. The back of it will be in thin air once i cut into wall. also will have to cut two channels quite deep for hot and cold feeds from...

Just want to canvas some opinion. I have a customer asking me to insert a shower valve (2 way recessed valve that runs bath and shower) into an adjoining wall with next door. I have explained that it is probably 4" block with nothing behind until you hit next doors block so not really feasible...

yes ordinary incandescent lamps. Does wiring sound correct to you?
