    Decomissioning an oil boiler.

    Hi all. Quick Q. Putting in an electric boiler for a customer. The now disused oil boiler is obviously still connected to the oil tank. Should there be a shut-off valve on the feed from the oil tank to the boiler somewhere? Ideally I just want to close the valve off then disconnect the old...

    Passing other plumbers work

    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...

    Anyone in Lincoln area looking for work?

    I am turning work away at the moment and would like to find a reliable plumber in the lincoln area who I can pass smaller jobs on to in return for a small fee when each job is completed. Alternatively if a 2 way job swap can be arranged there would be no fee (i.e. they get me to do their...

    Favourite plumbing fitting?

    I'm rather partial to a 22 to 3/4" end feed straight coupling to be honest. They are great for confusing apprentices. Swap them for a bag of their 22mm straight couplings and watch them get confused.

    Installing new central heating pipework, 10 rad system.

    Hi all, thought it was always good to compare prices. Just quoted for a bungalow, including laying new loft insulation to 300mm depth. 10 rad system, all run in good old fashioned copper on drop downs to the radiator (surface run). Including the VAT I am coming in at £5,100. Seems expensive...

    Making an internal overflow on a cheapie syphon.

    Hi all. I don't know if this will help anyone but it helped me the other day. Had a new WC supplied with a syphon valve without an internal overflow. Never had that happen before so I guess it's not a common problem. Not keeping overflow pipe and fittings on the van I made a simple...

    Thermal Store Advice

    Hi all, I am sure someone on here will have more experience of installing these than me (i.e. my no experience can't be hard to beat!). I am about to put a quote together for installing a thermal store in a pub. Ideally the store will need to have 4 coils, one for DHW, one for a gas boiler...

    Urinal Cistern Control Valves

    Hi all, Been asked to quote for a job which will involve fitting a PIR activated cistern control valve to 12 exposed urinal cisterns. Having never fitted these before I am keen to know if anyone can recommend a 230v one that is both reliable and reasonably priced. Thanks in advance for any help!

    diy gas work

    Cool, glad we agree about the current system! What I meant was I have worked every weekday other than ones I take off on holidays! It's not been a quiet year. I would love to get GSR qualified my issue is a day a week out stops me being able to do bathrooms and large jobs where a customer...

    I'm also pretty sure that a good chunk of the people who got GSR did it working in employment first where the opportunities are there to get qualified under the current scheme!

    diy gas work

    The problem is that I haven't had a free day all year. I understand that the system is what it is, I just don't understand why it needs to be more restrictive than electricity to get into. The system is not geared up to small limited companies wanting to become registered and surely those are...

    diy gas work

    Feel free to prove me wrong and drop me the details of a local GSR company who is willing to train me up. I'll even help train them as a sparky in return. I can assure you that it isn't at all as easy as you are making out. Why would one of my competitors want to train me?

    diy gas work

    My understanding of it all is that a non-GSR engineer is not allowed to tamper with any gas part including of course the room seal. Many older boilers are designed so that some of the parts are changeable without doing this but most modern ones aren't. This allows me to make a lucrative side...

    Would you do a large job like a luxury kitchen installation for your parents?

    My folks have asked me to do a £12k kitchen installation for them soon. Was wondering what other people feel re doing big jobs like this for family. I'm a bit nervous as my dad is one of those who likes to tell people how to do their job!!

    Accumulators or replacing water main

    Hi all, Got a customer I went to visit today who is keen to have a combi-boiler installed. Their static water pressure is 2.2 bars which is fine obviously. Dynamic drops to 1 bar which isn't so good, that's with 2 taps running. Flow rate is around 30 litres per minute. I'm considering 2...
