    Looking for a plumber in South Manchester

    Got a customer whos son has bought a house in Didsbury. Gainsborough bar shower is passing and there's a leak on the bath waste, from my conversation with him, it sounds like an in and out job. It's too far for me to go and sort out before mid January so do we have any members more local to him?

    One for RPM (macerator)

    I need to install a w.c. and macerator in my mums living room, will hopefully be temporary, maybe a couple of months. Looking to fit a ''Stuart Turner Wasteflo WC1'' simply because it's cheaper than the competition at £200 and I trust Stuart Turner pumps. Any reason I shouldn't? Also looking to...

    Mix and match RF reciever and thermostat?

    Hello guys and gals. My cousin called me out to have a look at her heating which isn't working. She has a Worcester combi and the hot water is fine. When we tried to program the RF stat it doesn't seem to be talking to the reciever and calling for heat. Even in manual it's doing nothing when...

    Refrigerator piping?

    Evening chaps (and chapesses) Got to go back next week to extend a run to a fridge, it's the standard 1/4" piping that most water supplied fridges use. Can't ever remember extending a run though so have a question if anyone knows the answer. Only need a couple of meters adding and the current...

    2'' cable operated syphons

    Had a hell of a time trying to find one of these for a vanity cistern today. There's a Skylo one, a Flomasta, a Macdee but they're all made for cc toilets and have the wrong thread for the coupling nut that compresses the rubber seal onto the flush pipe. I found 5 of those nuts in my box o' bits...

    Google star rating - bit of a rant.

    I finally got 5 reviews on my Google ranking, all of them 5 star reviews, so Google will now display my star ranking when someone searches for a plumber and I am one of the results. Problem is that Google shows a 4.8 star rating even though all my reviews are 5 star. I've done a bit of research...

    Basin mixer, high cold pressure, 0.5 bar hot (gravity HWS)

    Got a customer who has called me in after an absolute nightmare with a cowboy builder and an ex-friend project managing her renovation. I feel really sorry for her, she was actually crying when explaining what had gone on when I first went round. Anyway, she has a basin mixer that she really...

    Hurts more than standing on Lego!

    One of my little cherubs decided to leave a little present at the bottom of the stairs for me last night. It did not tickle... It went a good 10mm into my foot, stopped when it hit bone and left a nice little square of dirty sock inside there. So this afternoon I'm hobbling off to get a...

Part of the white...

    pneumatically operated w.c. flush valve

    Hi chaps and chappesses. I have this flush valve in my loo at home. It worked for a couple of weeks, now I have to push the button in really slowly to get about a 1 in 10 chance of it flushing. It's as if the bellows are passing so are unable to push enough air down the tube to lift the valve...

    Belfast sink?

    I'm changing a mixer tap tomorrow on a Belfast sink. I've fitted what was called a farmhouse sink before but it had a precut base to fix it to the wall and the taps were at the side. Any tips on removing the thing to get at the taps which are between it and the wall and the custard says the sink...

    Boilers and non gas safe plumbers...

    Just had a call back to a job I did today, I put some TRVs on the radiators in a house. Turned boiler off, drained down, swapped old lockshields for TRVs, refilled, checked my work, turned boiler on and all working. 3 hours later I get a phonecall telling me the boiler's showing an F-5 fault...
