I am currently doing a job in a shop for a customer. It was previously a hairdressers. The shop has 2 flats above it and a lane which runs beside it to other premises. I stripped all plumbing out the main shop so only a new toilet remains through the back. The 22mm main comes in this toilet...

drum roll please... we have a comedian :lol:

How good are they and how accurate are they. How much do you need to spend to get a good one

your trv's must be crap! They control each rad so replace them, also try the stat on the boiler or room stat

I told them i did not know what was wrong with it and to get a heating engineer in. I was just wondering why this would happen. Like you say, for experience

At a recent job i was fitting a bathroom where the customer had got someone in to fit a towel rail for them. After he drained the system fitted the towel rail and filled back up the heating did not work, the guy wont answer his phone and i've been left to try and fix it :roll: . Going with...

microbore sucks. Its too weak, use 15mm and if you put it in the wall wrap it in denso tape to protect it.

i think you should run a 54mm gas pipe then reduce to 15 mm about 9.1548888mm from the boiler.

if you can get to the cistern, check the water level. Most have a mark on them for about 6 litres. The water level can be adjusted on the ball cock, Usually a screw on the arm of the float

If i was doing the job i would cut the cast iron out and re do the stack in plastic. I would leave it going through the roof. Plastic is easier to work with and gives you more options. Use a rubber union that will suit cast to plastic, use a plastic branch with boss connectors and take the bath...

My boss insists that i fit Worcester boilers as its the name everyone knows. I notice on this site a lot of you guys recommend Vaillant. I'm looking for some opinions and views on whats better and why. One big reason i can see after a bit of online research is that Vaillant boilers have a 15mm...

I use bahco spanners and have never came acroos a radiator i couldn;t work on. They have very slim jaws for getting in to tight ares. They are quite expensive but well worth the money http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BAHCO-9070-6-Adjustable-Wrench_W0QQitemZ220148303172QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item220148303172

try to get the buttons out. They should lift out so you can see what the problem is

I just tiled my floor (first time doing a floor) It was late when i fineshed and just wanted to sit down. There are some spots of adhesive/grout hardened on the tiles. Can someone suggest a good way to remove it.

if its a combi you are just as easy to drain the system plus you dont have to worry about the pipe un freezing and flooding your house

Hope your a strong boy with lots of time on your hands. My advice would be to tell your wife to get to the kitchen and then put a dust sheet down and smash the pipe with a heavy hammer. Within half an hour you will have removed the pipe cleaned up and will be on the couch with a beer in your hand.

I have flushed the system cold then hot then with sentinel. So its been well flushed. Could debris still be in the system
