Good afternoon,
I am after a replacement British Gas TRV head. I have found a direct replacement on Ebay, however they are £39.99 + £3.99 postage.
Does anyone know if there is a different TRV head that will work?
Kind regards,
Laurence

How it best to install pipework to best avoid airlocks with gravity hot water. Install level or slightly down hill in direction of flow? Thanks
Hi bit of a weird issue, I installed a grohe bathroom tap successfully 2 months ago bought from screwfix.
Last week the right hand hot tap makes a squeak noise as I turn it on or off, left tap is 100% perfect and noiseless.
This grohe tap is like one unit, so no screw notch or way I can remove...
Hi guys....we have an old Astracast sink top....I think its a composite sink....has a big single bowl.

So she wants a new one...Astracast it seems are no more.

Hi, I have a Worcester 28i junior boiler that has started to lose pressure, only when using the central heating. When using hot water I have no issue, however, when running the heating the pressure drops. Im looking for some ideas on what could be causing this. I have no sign of pipe leaks...
Hi All, does anyone know why the water only fills 1/3 of the way please?
Every two weeks or so I have to go and top up the system because the hot taps are running cold. Boiler display is flashing 0.6 bar and I fill up to 1.3. I've had an engineer look inside the boiler and he can't see anything wrong. I've checked the pipes all over the house and cannot see any...

Hi All,
I am looking to take my bath out and fit a shower. Regards to tanking. Is it ok to just seal everything with plastic rather than just paint tanking slurry? Thanks in anticipation,

Hi
Does anyone recognise the make/brand of the radiator valve. It leaks when closed and Iam hoping I can replace a seal etc?
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but my family and I are starting to crack. I'll start at the beginning, and maybe someone will see something that makes sense to them.
We live in a council property, and a couple of years ago our boiler (a Promax 28 Combi) started flashing us the...

Hi, I seemed to have a blockage in kitchen sink. A plumber came and cleared all the pipework that is visible inside my home (there was debris and pebbles!) We saw that the pipe that takes water down the gutter was visibly full to the top. He said he will return with a coil to push through...
I am in process of replacing an existing sink with a new stainless steel one. The existing tap is plumbed directly to copper which means that it is earthed. The new tap will use flexible tails and so will not be earth bonded. My initial search for information suggests that there is no legal...
