    Gas meter moved outside but not reconnected.

    What an effing balls up! Wedgy I sympathise entirely and hope that your old folks don't suffer too much by way of the glaring 'not my problem' mentality of these effing poorly managed large municipals and their pony good for nothing 'computer says no' subcontractors. At some point in this...

    Advice please on an unvented cylinder

    Firstly Robsterno1, don't get drawn into replies with those that choose to post less than helpful responses. This has happened to me before in the past when seeking, as is in your case, some genuine helpful advice. Annoying though it is, it just offers 'grist to the mill', so if on here again...

    advice on fitting a new tap

    I've noticed recently at my suppliers, they sell iso valves with flat end male threads which overcome this problem of attaching flexi's to std iso valve sharp face. Should be able to source on the 'tinternet'

    New radiator not heating up

    No worries...hopefully of help to you......if a little long winded I know. However, sounds like that TRV head needs replacing (just as the previous contributor assessed). I would eliminate variables now and if you have the know how then balance the whole c/h system with the TRV head off of the...

    New radiator not heating up

    My fellow contributor Mr Craig Watson is indeed correct and I sincerely hope that this quick assessment and fix to the trv has resolved this issue for you. That being said, as you allude to new rads being added to a circuit and pipe work being installed as well, you (or your installer to be...

    Hot tap flows noticeably slower than cold.

    Better that I suppose than the ponderous Matilda! How on earth we came out on top with armour such as that I'll never know??

    Hot tap flows noticeably slower than cold.

    As the contributor with the profile pic of a Churchill Tank above rightly re-iterates get it checked by a G3 qualified engineer, of which I detailed how you can obtain one in my earlier thread. For what it's worth, I think you have a retro fitted unvented cylinder served by a 15mm mws (mains...

    Hot tap flows noticeably slower than cold.

    Firstly, like all other contributors have remarked you must get a G3 qualified plumber to work on this for you. Especially, as you might actually have a partially balanced hot and cold supply......I'll be precise; Lets say you might have a mains feed in to the house that is at quite a high...

    Hive....Good Bad Indifferent

    Absolute con....Anything related to the well known large gas company is a con. Customer of mine had the alternative (product name describes the thatched like woven cup of twigs a bird lives in) and when they moved there new house they wanted to use their existing product that they took along...

    Maybe just paranoria

    All ok. Simple physics: Materials expand when heated (pressure observed as going up as temp increases) Conversely, materials contract on cooling (pressure observed as going down when heating is turned off). Time to worry is if pressure drops to zero after heating cycle has stopped or if...

    Just when you thought you'd seen it all.....

    You lot a bunch of picky bvggers.....I've been doing it that way for years.....in fact it could well be one of mine. Admittedly, one of my later more advanced installations where I've added in the automatic air vent to avoid the need of returning to the customers house to bleed the system of...

    Can anyone tell me what I should be ordering from BES to get my 35mm copper connected up to the newly installed U16 meter? I have just had installed by Southern Gas Networks a U16 meter with apparently, so the guy from SGN said a 1" meter connection size. My problem is that I tried to fit a...

    Just been accused of being a rip-off merchant.

    Thanks CES. Took online legal advice last night and have sent, as I intended to prior to legal advice, a hard copy of the invoice and the e-mail via recorded delivery with a cover letter requesting full payment within 7days of the date of the letter. If I get no joy then I'm going to pursure it...

    Just been accused of being a rip-off merchant.

    Not only have I been accused of being a rip off merchant but they won't pay.....called to replace a leaking indirect cylinder. Nothing special a 900x450 open vented on an s-plan C/H set up. Thing was the cylinder had been jammed in an airing cubpoard with all the C/H motorised valves and the...
