    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 :)

    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? Well the usual thing is they get you to speed test your connection and suggest it was being compromised and then install Team...

    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...

    Vaillant VRT350F Wireless Thermostat

    Best gas torch, still Rothy SF II?

    Mines died, is the Rothy SF II still the pack leader and firm favorite? The Nerrad looks well built but I haven't handled it, there's even a SF III that I like the look of but there doesn't appear to be much support for it never mind the price.

    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...
