    Cold water supply to a bathroom washbasin in a modern flat?

    I refer to modern purpose-built flats - built within the last 35 years, say. How common is it, in this type of accommodation, for the cold water supply to a bathroom washbasin to come indirectly through a cold water storage tank? Or is it far more common for the cold water supply to come...

    Combi comes on with cold water as well as hot

    Hi, We had a Valiant ecoTECplus 938 installed a couple of years ago. The past few months we've noticed it come on with the cold taps rather than just the hot. A plumber came to service it and said this is normal but we don't think it is + it's a waste of valuable gas. I've read up and think it...
