    BT Openreach cold calling scam.

    I received a call today from BT Openreach saying my broadband would be cut off as they'd detected some unusually activity from my IP address. Slight panic what do I do?

    Noisy boiler cabinet

    Client is complaining about intermittent low frequency noise which she has captured on mobile but I can't recreate easily. It seems as if when the fan runs at a certain speed it induces a low level vibration in the cabinet. It's annoying when it happens but the client is cool about it, I said...

    Landlord plumbers advise required

    Advice not advise :oops: I attended a boiler breakdown (condensate) and spent most of the 2 hrs unblocking the sink outlet which was fairly solid with fat that had obviously been poured down the sink. Client wanted to know if they could claim it from their tennants/agency (18mths) and tbh I...

    Ideal Mexico HE24 & HE36 Floor standers

    Anybody still keeping one of these alive? Mine were pulled working and been in the shed for god knows how long. Will be breaking for spares if there is any demand... PCB's, fans and Hex's are good.

    Vaillant VRT350F Wireless Thermostat

    Shower pump feed off 15mm secondary return?

    The open vent cylinder is stainless with the neck too small to fit a surrey flange and I'm just plain reluctant to try and fit an essex flange in stainless. I could just tee off the HW outlet but is there a flange out there with a narrow (less than 15mm) dip tube or I'm thinking I could make...

    Diy stud, electric wires and pipe finder

    I have a Zircon onestep i520, not the cheapest but very handy... I liked this one because it had a deepscan function and can scan through 2 or 3 plaster boards.

    Worcester Bosch RI series.

    I've only fitted WB combis so any reason not to like'em? My local merchant has a reasonable deal on them and I have a couple of OV swaps coming up.

    which pipe benders?

    I read Hilmor are now made elsewhere and the quality is suspect. Rothy, Record, Eclipse, Monument...I need some non-ripplers. ,114551031,114555031_B=_CL=
