    Plastic pipe thread snapped off inside compression fitting - how to remove?

    Hi The fitting is brass (though doesn't look it in photo), the stuck plastic threaded pipe section is off the bottom of a standard ballcock assembly (bottom inlet) . It's snapped very cleanly, dead level with the nut. So, any smart ideas on how to get it out? Thanks

    Is fitting a new boiler in the cellar ok?

    I have an old tank for my hot water system, I'm wanting to have central heating and a combi installed. My options for placing the combi are pretty limited without it being in the way. The gas pipe and electrics all come into the cellar. Would it be an option to install a new boiler in the...
