Never been to one before but now got some I want to shift.
Whats the protocol, just rock up? Any tips for not getting shafted or are they all regulated and above board these days?
Just got taps and copper. Couple wheelie bins full, was planning saving up more but taking up too much space and...
Just realized that I have been on this forum for 10 years and 1 day.
Joined up when had some real horrid things going on... death of my dad + health issues + bad financial issues.
Personally didn't think at the time I would be around now.
I would hate to read some of the posts I've posted over...
Does anyone use 10mm plastic for heating?
I have a full heating system to do and will be using hep under the floors.
I’m considering a 22mm manifold with 10mm for the bedroom 3x 600x1000 type 21s and a towel rail but I have never really used 10mm so a bit cautious
Long time no post hope everyone's doing well.

The incoming watermain is currently coming up out the concrete bathroom floor in 15mm, I've got to run a new main up and into the loft and either put a...
Evening all.
Does anyone know if you can get 22x15 end feed reducing couplings with the 22mm end which fits over the pipe? I can get them like that in solder ring but not end feed. I think it's ridiculous that I have to buy a slip coupling then put a reducer in it.
Thanks,

Vaillant fibre washers have gone thin and cheap.
I picked up some regin from the merchants but they are the same.
Any recommendations for decent thick fibre washers?

Went yesterday to look at a potential job. Bigger than I thought as original info was couple of bathrooms need doing, whereas it's 6 bathrooms and 2 downstairs cloaks.
Old House, pulled to bits and massively extended. All ground works done, all floors in, no ceilings in, and stud walls boarded...

If any of you knowledgable lot could offer me a bit of advice with the above that would be great. Thanks
Evening All,
I have an unusual customer who is bit of a recyling nut. Last year we installed a heat only boiler (only after it died) and changed all his downstairs rads. It's only a small 3 bedroom house but for some reason he resisted getting a combi. Now he's having a loft extension there's...
As some of you know I’ve only worked on housing stock, which is mainly high pressure systems and mostly two tap hole installations. After my advice on another thread (thank you for those who contributed) I was looking at renewing my basin mixer. I’ve seen a few different ones, and I like this...
Hi folks, I've decided I need to venture out on my own as a plumbing and heating engineer. I've spent a little while subbying to big companies on the commercial sites but I feel that it's time I made my own way if possible. I've also been PAYE for a big portion of my time in the trade. The most...
