We all know it's a no-no. Unfortunately one of my directors doesn't and has challenged me to provide him with the legislative document saying we can't. And I'm buggered if I can find it! Help!

Hi all. After some advice on how to handle this. At the moment, I've met (don't know at all really) another ex-military plumber in plumbfix. He doesn't seem to be as busy as our firm at the moment. He is on about passing us electrical work if it comes in but I get the impression we will pass...

So the radiator in the kitchen gets slightly warm, and the rad in the lounge doesnt get warm at all. Al other rads are fine. I had a plumber round 2 days ago (to fit a new thermostat for the boiler), and he looked at them, took off the TRVs, and said they had sticky valves. We turned off all...

Hiya, I could do with some advice about the CIS scheme. I just called their helpline and they were useless. I'm setting up as a self-employed plumber, and will be teaming up with other plumbers on two-person jobs - just odd days here and there, replacing baths, etc. Technically, the customer's...

Hi I have a problem with my shower. The hot is fed from a cylinder and the cold is mains. We rarely use this shower as we use our other bathroom. We had a problem in the other bathroom and had to drain the ccylinder. While we also had to order some parts so we refilled the cylinder...

Hi All, I've moved into a new place and I'm having some trouble with the thermostatic shower, which is warm at best, despite a piping hot inlet. I've taken it to bits, given it a descale with some vinegar and lubricated the seals. This did the trick for 10 mins or so, but it then went back to...

I am very, very confused! this week we have replaced mains from street stopcock to the house entrance. The pipe was severely corroded and split and was seeping through to see it under the floorboards at the front door. Got the pipe connected up ok and all turned on. It's a bigger than...

Hello, I have been having this problem for a while and my friends think that it may be linked to my pipes. It usually happens at night and it is a sort of scratching noise. It sounds like a guiro instrument (from what I have found on youtube) - like wood scraping over wood. There are usually 4...

Hi there, please go easy on me first post! We have just had a new kitchen extension and have got one normal double rad, a smiths ss5 plinth heater and a tall vertical rad. It is a big room with a vaulted ceiling so it needed a fair bit of BTU's to heat it. The normal rad is heating up great, but...

I swapped out a radiator for a guy last week and now two radiators that are next to each other and running off the same pipework are only getting warm not hot while the radiator on the other side of the room stays stone cold. I've checked the system pressure at the boiler and made sure that it's...

Hi there, I am a bit worried as I've just bought a ground floor flat (in a block of flats), and I keep on being awaken at random hours of the night by what seems to be a thundering waterfall noise or fountain or a sound like water really falling hard (a bit like if some heavy rain was...

For ancient taps and random sized nuts on fancy installations Cheers

after some advice, I know I should probably speak to an accountant about this but thought I would try here first. We are both working together, splitting 50/50 on van, van insurance, tools and sundries. Company pays our wages seperate, would we be best to find the same accountant and tell them...

Hi, I need to connect into a internal vertical cast iron soil pipe. I need to add a 4" branch for a a new toilet to be installed on the ground floor. I was wondering if cutting a section of cast iron pipe out and replace that section with plastic 4" pipe using rubber slip couplers would do the...

Just out of curiosity: - How can you get a job working for water board such as Northumbrian water? They are NEVER recruiting but have ALOT of staff base. Been on various of sites and they mostly work in teams using crimping or electro machines to join big water mains up. Looks a absolute...

.....seems to be a Heating Engineer in my area. Loads of vans going about with Gas Safe logos. Prices are down, competition is fierce. I'm smelling a race to the bottom going on in sunny Bournemouth. Time to move on.
