Hi All

From left to right i have sink unit (single waste outlet on trap/u bend), space for washing machine (600mm...
I was using a mini excavator in the front garden and cut the mains gas supply (website with gas location had it in the wrong place, but a disclaimer saying their info might be inaccurate - the engineer said it was probably moved when they changed the pipe to the new plastic sort).

Need to replace a 20+ year combi boiler (doesn't work), it is in a 65 sq m (2 bedroom 1 bath/shower) flat on a second floor of a Victorian house in central London. The only other appliance that uses gas is a cooker. It is likely that the 15 mm pipe is all the way from the gas meter that is in...
Do I need an anti-siphon valve for a dedicated outdoor Kitchen water supply ... supply comes from the house, out the brick wall next a spigot.
Seems overkill ! ... is there a freeze protection rational for it ?
Hello Guys
I recently posted a thread about low water pressure at taps in a new kitchen installed by a company using sub-contractors. I have 0.44 bar of hot water pressure and am getting a flow rate of 4.5 Lpm at the new hot monobloc. The Blanco people say that the taps are rated at minimum 0.3...
Hi all
Amateur/DIYer here.
I have just moved into a 3rd floor flat and it has a more complicated plumbing set up than I'm used to. There is a Grundfos Home Booster installed, which seems to be working fine. However I have noticed that it seems to be switching on and pumping (fairly loud hum)...
Hi all,
I have a fridge freezer with water/ice supply which I want to move to the garage.
min the garage there is the boiler and supply to external tap.
can the fridge freezer be connected to the same supply?

this may sound a basic question, but it is important. I have seen so many conflicting opinions, even from manufacturers. Some say, just use the biggest bore possible, others say use a small bore 8mm for a fully pumped system & a large bore 11mm for a gravity system. There must be a reason why...
Hi I've recently moved to a garden maisonette which does not have a garden tap. I had a little poking around in the garden and found a small pipe coming out of the back of the house. After moving the square end around with a pair of pliers it turns out that's the water supply. Does it seem that...
my local tennis club would like hot water to its pavilion, it’s only a smallish wooden clubhouse requiring hot water to two wash basins and a sink unit, floor to ceiling is only about seven feet high so no real head room for a gravity system, no gas available just basic electrics for sockets and...
Hi,
I live in an upstairs flat. A pipe burst inside of the flat below. The supply to the flat below tees off immediately after a stopcock under my floorboards. If I turn the stopcock off, its turns off supply to both flats. My question is: who is responsible for the burst pipe, me or the owner...
Hi guys, organising a new water supply to my property, specs require a seal between the MDPE 25mm pipe and 50/63mm ducting, can't use builders foam and i can't find a product for this (severn trent shows what looks like a rubber reducing seal but i can't find it on any site
I've bought a new chrome towel radiator as the old one is all rusty.
I also bought new angled (standard) valves, 1/2" X 15mm as they too are old and rusty.
But when I look at what comes out of the wall, it's clearly not 15mm pipe, looks more like 10mm (plastic).
How have they gone from 15mm...
Dear all,
I'm hoping you can help with this because our plumber is trying hard but he's struggling to solve the problem.
I'll describe the system. The water enters the apartment in a washing machine cupboard. At the inlet and at the washing machine the pressure is high. The pipework then...
I have been asked to fit a Marco water boiler, it has a 3/4” bsp for the inlet but no hose with it(2nd hand).
Do I need a posh food grade hose £15, or can I use a washing machine one £2 for WRAS approved.
Renovating an older property with good water pressure. Proposing combi on 1st floor, but am not sure if it should be 1st take-off... If it were to be it would mean doubling back pipework to kitchen and then back upstairs to service sinks etc.. Then there is the electric shower supply... Any...
Hi,
I'm a sparky. We are installing a couple of standard S plan control systems for a couple of new domestic sized system boilers in a residential care home. We also look after the fire alarm here.
The client has just had a new tanked gas supply installed on site to supply these boilers which...

Supply and fit a single mixer lever tap (seen ones around £40) (old...
