Evening all.
I am currently attempting to self install a shower pump and I was wondering If routing the pipes into the loft and then across to the bathroom around 2.5 metres away would cause any issues?
The pipes are literally running underneath the cold water cistern, will I have problems...
Hi guys. I am after a bit of advice. I installed an Intergas boiler a couple of yrs ago. The client called me and said it kept cutting out so I told her to call Intergas. Intergas came and fitted a new gas valve but labelled the boiler At Risk for having no isolation valve at the appliance. He...

hi peeps,
Just tested the gas pre boiler install and the ECV is letting by. Obv I won’t know if there’s a drop on the system until the ECV is replaced, do I halt the install until this is done or carry on cuttinggas pipe so I can take the oldboiler off?
Cheers
hi guys. As the title suggests, I have a customer wanting a toilet and basin fitted under her stairs which is located in the centre of the terraced house. Would a Macerator solve the issue of getting rid of the waste water without an internal drain to link on to? I've not installed a macerator...
Hello
Questions about finishing.
Mother-in-law, in late 60's had a new boiler fitted replacing 1970's one.
generally seems a good install, but where old boiler fle existed at knee height there is now a big hole, with the condensate pipe running through it balanced on a few bricks. Also there...

Hi All,
I've got a British Gas/GlowWorm 300+ Boiler hooked up to a BG UP2 Programmer and WR1 Wireless Receiver/T4 Thermostat. In my current setup, almost everything bar the boiler lives in the airing cupboard alongside the HW tank - the T4 thermostat is on the wall in the hall.
I'd read...
Hi guys,
I have just picked up a NEST to try out.
We have had endless issues with our Vailiant VR470F and VR81 working over two zones, they just wont work independently.
I know the 470 will do weather compo and modulation and probably offers a better range of settings for my boiler but at...
Hi,
I’ve recently had a new central heating system installed which I’m happy with. The only concern I have is that the unvented tank has been installed sitting on a pallet.
The plumber told me he did this because it needed to be installed onto a flat surface. The surface wasn’t flat because...
Hi
We have just had a Vaillant ecoTec plus 832 installed. This is a 32 kW rating with a 13 liters per min flow rate. This was the recommended spec from the installer. But it would appear that only one tap can be used at a time (this is worse upstairs). Filling the bath for example means that...
