I have been in the house a few years but we have only recently had an overbath shower fitted. I had my suspicions that the pvc trim going around the bath probably wouldnt be up to the task and on removing the bath panel this is the case. I have removed the pvc trim but they have left a...

I take it that is for all products of that type and not just the Wickes brand? Apart from getting a plumber out is there anything else he could try? Those pipe freezing kits....could he freeze that section and then replace it? Dont think he wants to solder but I have seen those kits which...

My brother had a very minor leak on one of his copper pipes, is literally only a droplet every minute or so. As he cant afford to get a plumber out at the moment I suggested getting some of that Plumb Mait stuff where you mix the two puttys together and put on pipework to stop leak. He...

Thats the way I have done mine, three quarters way up. The way I figure it is the quicker the rads get hotter and up to the room stat temperature the quicker the boiler can turn off. There may be a more scientific reason to not do it this way.....dont think so though. Obviously if you have...

Damn....didnt see other post and already ordered. Saying that at £0.60 for 2metres seemed decent enough price apart from delivery.

ha ha quality....!

Cheers! I had come across that site but their list of products was a minefield to look through!

I need to lag some 10mm microbore piping in my loft space. I cant seem to find any stores online that sell anything to go round this... all seems to be geared around the 15mm and 22mm diameter pipes. Does anyone know anywhere that stocks this? Other alternatives I guess are to use the 15mm...

Ah right.....ok will get some mineral wool then....thanks for that

Thanks for responses!! Ended up tucking a bit of steel wool in the gaps and then the foam pipe lagging I bought today which I will now insulate pipes with butts up to that. Already got the rat trap!! Hopefully its my imagination. With regards fire integrity I know what you are saying but to...

Where my copper pipework in bedroom airing cupboard goes up into the attic there is quite a gap where small section of ceiling was chased out rather than drilling four holes etc. Could I use expandable foam to block this gap or will the material react with copper? Me and the wife thought we...

but that compound can be released at any stage??

Aaargh gutted. That Jet Blue would I find that in B&Q or need to go to a Plumb Centre etc? I also have the Plumbers Mait stuff which goes around sanitary fittings etc but that doesn’t go off....sticky as hell. Is that the same stuff as the product you mention?

sorry yeah its copper pipework. You would be suprised what other engineers offered me in terms of boiler types. Alpha's with B efficency, the whole lot. Just depends on what engineer gets a discount on I suppose. Work in Housing Association and we purchase the EcoTec Pro 28's....obviously...

I have got a microbore heating system which is recently installed but having problems getting the original plumber back who has turned out to be an arse. Several of the radiators at different times seem to have weeped slightly on the lock shield valves. They have come back out and drained down...
