    w/c pan fixing points directly over c/h 22mm flow and return pipes.

    The subject line says it all! The new close coupled pan/cistern I have to fit has its fixing holes directly over the main 22mm c/h pipes. I'd have to pack the cistern off by about 30 mm. to clear the pipes. I'll fix with some short screws that don't penetrate the flooring but what else can I do...

    Towel rad piping across the attic.

    Ladies & Gents, A little advice, please. I have a customer who wants her radiators in the en-suite and main bathroom changed from, 'on with heating only' to 'on at any time', ie conventional heated towel radiator function. The main bathroom is easy because I only have to take the pipe runs...

    3 hole basin tap shroud.

    Gents, I've been asked to repair a tap. It's part of a three hole basin tap. The tap handle comes off nice and easily but I cannot access the tap body nut because of a very tight fitting shroud that prevents any box spanner fitting onto it. I have tried to ease the shroud off but it is fixed...

    I need 8mm copper monobloc tails.

    The title says it all. My customer bought a new monobloc kitchen mixer tap but wants copper tails, not the flexis as supplied. I have plenty of 10mm and 12mm copper tails but not the 8mm that he needs. Any ideas where I can buy some, I've googled and e-bayed with no success. He may end up having...

I've been 'round to look at the job and had a quick peek in the loft; the water in the f/e tank is absolutely filthy and full of sludge. I don't want to just drain it all through the system because I don't want to allow...

    Radiator to heated towel rail.

    Probably a stupid question, but as a novice some reassurance would be appreciated. I have a job to replace a bathroom radiator with a heated towel rail. The customer assures me it is run from the domestic hot water circuit. The question is..... Is it enough to turn off the heating and drain the...

    Water hammer.

    Ladies and Gents, I have been called to see a customer who has recently developed water hammer on her rising main. The hammer is close to the kitchen sink. The washing machine is connected to the rising main from a tee and hammer occurs when the machine valves operate. I know that is nothing...

    Pipe freezing to fit new rads.

    Gents, I have a job next week that involves fitting two new radiators in the basement of a large Victorian house. Usually I drain down c/h systems, fit the pipework and rads and then re-fill. The drain-down and re-fill are really time consuming and often there are air-locks to contend with as...
