    Common or garden varierty isolation valve leaks.

    We've all taken punts on them without knowing we can turn the water off upstream, no doubt. If any of you have never taken that risk I am impressed. But as a low-rent jobber, grabbing at any dregs of jobs he's offered I do it all the time. When you get unlucky and it keeps weeping despite...

    Advice on me mam's bathroom

    I don't get involved in bathrooms really so pretty clueless. Only doing it because it's my mum's and she doesn't mind how long it takes so I can take my time and work it out as I go along. We're changing the bath to a roll top and fitting wall panels. Today I remove the old tiles and some...

    High pressure solvent welded plastic pipe

    Is I believe what this is. Posted a pic of some a while back and think Shaun identified it thus. Want to change the inlet and float valve the pipework pictured feeds. I know in both instances I could change washer but want to have a plan B and C. Am I likely to find that my fibre washers, hep...

    Proceedure for isolating water to taps...

    ...on an unvented indirect solar cylinder: Same as a standard unvented cylinder? As in just turn off the main stopcock? Not come across one before. Guessing it shouldn't alter the method but wanted to check. Thanks

    This gate valve position....

    Excuse my wonderful drawing. Someone put a gate valve here. If I've used the wrong symbol for a valve forgive me you'll have to imagine the right one. There isn't one anywhere on the cold feed from the CWSC. Since - if closed this isolates the water in the cylinder from the open vent - my...

    Any tips for pushing in a washing machine?

    I've done a good few but this one is super-tight and on bare floorboards so could get stuck. What do you guys use to make pushing it in easier? Bit of ply or something?

    What pan connector would work?

    Not my job, pics sent by a mate who is just starting out and wanted some advice. Pics are of the old pan connector on a bog due to be changed shortly. On googling what's written on side it seems it is this. Osma 4" Soil Waste Pipe | Fittings - OSMASOIL 4S790 WHITE S/S LONG TAIL BEND 87.1/2...

    Bunch of small jobs you want plus one you don't...

    *sigh* This bidet has a sort of integrated spray in the middle of the pan that no longer works. It looks like it's made by Swan and is pretty old. The middle control I guess work(ed) as a divertor between flow round the rim and that from the spray. The former function still works. I guess it's...

    Drain off leak/weep.....

    Hi, I am changing a couple of TRV's on this system. The drain off on the unvented cylinder is weeping. Would you just tighten it up and tell them to let you know if it still weeps or once pressure is let off/vacuum achieved to change TRV's could you take out the works and change them/the...

    Hiding drugs: A plumber's guide to lawlessness.

    Sniffer dogs may be able to find stuff anywhere but pretending for this hypothetical that they are not available, where could a plumber hide drugs or stolen jewels or whatever his illicit bounty that would make all but the most thorough rip-apart and dig-up-the-garden variety of police searches...

    What size be this pipe, if'n you please.

    And will there be a compression/soldered reducer piece inside the fitting that i can re-use and just put another TRV on or will I need to muck about with reducer bits anew? Almost never come across microbore so no experience with it. Almost didn't clock it was smaller than 15mm to start, I...

    Unvented confusions. Help a brother out.

    I recently changed some taps on a system with a megaflo unvented cylinder (taps were ground floor kitchen, megaflo first floor airing cupboard in case relevant.) The pressure at the bath taps before starting was insane. Terrifyingly forceful. He whacked them on full to show me that it caused...
