    Best adjustable spanner

    I too like those knipex parellel jaws but i still reach for a 9031 for 15 or 22 stuff. I have both older made in sweden ones and newer ones made in spain. Exactly the same quality in both. Both have the same amount of play in the jaws.

    Capillary action in curved mixer tap, is this normal ?

    Take the spout of to prove if its cartridge letting by or if its the water in the spout. Normally though they dont drip, the vacuum of water in the spout is released and it will trickle out. P.s im sure toolstation used to sell that kitchen mono mixer for £25 at one point

    Mr Wilsons full system build

    Mr Wilson, it is worth doing these calculations properly, pay someone to do them for you or buy a copy of domestic heating design guide, the CIBSE one. It will probably save you money aswell, as from what you have described I would be very surprised if those pumps were needed. Domestic 15-50...

    Which brand plastic pipe?

    I rate speedfit as about the worst of all and only use it for temporarys, if were talking pushfit then I think polyplumb is the best with hep a close second. If were talking just plastic in general then Rehau, Uponor and buteline are all superior IMO to the above pushfit variety's.

    Hive with under floor heating

    can you not keep existing controls in original place (i.e wiring centre) and just extend switch live back to new boiler location. Does the UFH have its own wiring centre?

Also make sure...

    Type B drain valve washer

    if your desperate you could always just buy a new type b and take the washer out of it, there only about a £1 and toolstation sold type b last time I looked. makes TP look cheap though now and a bit wastefull
