Hi
I have a polypipe multizone underfloor heating system (Gas) that stopped working a few weeks ago.
It had been making some screeching noises and my hunch in that the Grundfos pump has died as the screeching has stopped - along with the heating! I may be wrong of course.
The LED's on the side...

Hi,
I need 2 salon backwash basins replaced. The new units are similar to the ones currently in use.
Also the floor tiles underneath the units, if this is something you can do.
The pipe work is hidden with casing behind the back washes. This will also need replacing.
We are based in south...
I have a sealed heating system with a Flowmaster Titan Plastech tank in the garage. The hot water pipe exiting from the top of the tank is hot to touch all the way up until it enters the house even when hot water is not being drawn. The pipe has a horizontal dog-leg before it is routed...
Which I again expect the answer is that it's not your problem
Job to change a rad, say.
If after changing the rad, topping up the pressure and going to check if any rads need bleeding now you find a rad that is unbleedable due to duff bleed screw and so may now may be cold at the top/not...
We've got a great new UK Persimmon home with dry wall linings. We're planning on putting screws in the wall in the following locations:
1 Above an upstairs sink to hang a mirror (picture enclosed)
2 Above a downstairs toilet to hang pictures
3 At the back of the bath we want to hang a towel rail...
Hi there,
Boiler question, but nothing that contravenes gas regs.
To get to the point, the Vaillant EcoTEC Plus seems to have two knobs. One has a tap symbol, the other has a radiator symbol. Even the system boiler version of this boiler has two knobs.
What I cannot make out is what purpose...
Hi,
I have this shower fitted in my en suite. It's stopped working/responding entirely.
It was working then mid-shower it stopped and both buttons now flash slowly and don't respond to being pressed or held in any combination I've tried.
I'm after some help identifying the part so I can...
Hi All
I have a filling loop in one of my properties that has been left connected.
It also looks like the tenant has been filling the system and rounded off one side (CW) off the isolation valve one way valve.
It looks like it is in the open position but is not turnable (unless i dremel a...
Hello people.
I have a leaky/dripping hot bathroom basin tap and loathe to waste a plumber’s time bringing them out to change a washer, so I’m keen to sort myself. I looked up a few guides online and was ready to go!
However my basin tap has no screws, no cap to pop off, etc. to get at the...
Fitted one of these today and was a bit flumoxed on the valve set up where they connect onto the boiler. In a nutshell i couldnt fit a spanner in to tighten them up enough and the prv connection seemed utter pita.
They electric supply isnt long enough either for what i needed and you cant...
Hi everyone. I just removed a shower tray and this is what I found underneath, does it look like a conventional way to create a shower tray support to you? the tray was a 900x900 Merlyn Mstone ABS Capped acrylic. thanks
We've all taken punts on them without knowing we can turn the water off upstream, no doubt. If any of you have never taken that risk I am impressed. But as a low-rent jobber, grabbing at any dregs of jobs he's offered I do it all the time.
When you get unlucky and it keeps weeping despite...
Is the anton pro 2 worth the extra money as apposed to the anton pro 1? I just think the 2 has the option of tightness testing etc. Also do most of you use/have the printer?
If changing a fan on this type of boiler. Is there anyway to test the seal between the fan and the heat exchanger. There shouldnt be a problem as the seal sticks on then you just tighten the fan up to the heat exchanger via a bolt. I thought an analyser around the seal while the boilers...
Fitted an external expansion vessel to closed system central heating system due to failure of internal boiler vessel. Fitted on return below wall mounted boiler. Vessel pre-charge pressure checked prior to fitting, confirmed at 1.3 bar. System purged of air and pressurised at cold to 1 bar...
Looked a job today, possibly looking at reducing vent size as it's a difficult run.
75mm sticks in my head for some reason.
Cheers.
Hi all,
Slight hiccup on a job. A tile cracked when I was replacing a like-for-like bathroom towel rad. (Not a usual occurrence for me, as I'm very careful with tiles). The customer wants me to fix it. However, this isn't an easy fix and arguably not my fault.
The cracked tile is on an old...
Hi All
The gas supplied have been digging up roads in my area and have now just completed my street. As part of all this they advised that they will need to move my gas supply from inside of the house to outside (for free :) )
The problem is they would only move the supply to the front of the...
