    18mm cement board for bathroom flooring?

    Third time I'll be doing this floor...first time was weatherproof TnG, 2nd was marine ply both of which were varnished and blew up because of a combination of flooding and careless use. Hardibacker is easy to get from sheds but only in 12 & 6mm which I could overlay. Any other recommendations?

    Anybody replaced a Cat G boiler recently?

    I was paying particular attention to a British Gas radio ad the other day where certain efficiency and cost saving claims where being made. Oh and there it is, a disclaimer at the end of the ad said in rapid fashion that the savings claimed were based on a Band G boiler or less than 70%...

    WHAT CAN I DO WITH THESE PIPES IN LOFT - Survey says DIY standard?!

    The buyers pulled out of the sale because of that, really? Nothing that a plumber in a day couldn't sort.

    Leaking gas shut off valve.

    I've called Transco and tightened it till it no longer leaks but that renders the valve unusable but what is the usual fix, is it usually a servicable item?

    Best chemical sink unblocker?

    Which make is fairly foolproof? I tend to almost always go down the mechanical unblocking route but I want to leave a few bottles for a few tenants (not mine).

    Can a new oil tank install be DIYed?

    Highly likely the old tank was simply replaced because it was leaking, assuming it was dug out the disturbed and contaiminated soil could also account the persistant but diminishing smell.

    Can a new oil tank install be DIYed?

    Tell relative to note date, time and duration of smell. If they have a complaint to make then make it or at least ask the neighbour first.

    O ring replacement or thread seal?

    Get expert in or DIY

    Isolation valve = attempted DIY. No isolation valve = probably do not attempt DIY. If you need to ask what tools you need = get a PRO in.

    Washing Machine Blues

    Neve seen it before but this happened to mine over Xmas, a 6 year old £1000 Siemens front loading washing machine that disintegrated and I couldn't get parts for. Before that my old Hotpoint lasted 17years. Tell the old lady to stop doing the washing at 30 degrees and give it an empty hot water...

    Recommend me a boiler

    We've not had one of these for a while, what are we installing nowadays and why? Viessmann Vaillant ecotec I prefer German and a stainless hex if at all possible over and above the temptation of super extended warranties. Simples...if the systems are kept clean, they tend to last.

    Kane 450 leak detector/sniffer broken?

    How long do they normally last...changed the batterys but mine still churps away over an opened gas hob as if there's no leak (after calibration).

    Which domestic plumbing course for DIY plumbing?

    There will be plenty of training centres willing to take your money but try your local colleges first.

    Swaging spin tool.

    Never really bothered too much with my manual swager but quite like this quick and tidy result, available in new year apparently. Nicked off Pb Plumber's instagram account, hate that guy....guns too big and van far too tidy, clearly plenty of time on his hands :)
