hot water coming into cistern

[mrplumberman]

i,ve just fitted a new toilet.when you flush the loo the boiler fires up.any ideas?
as the guy is going nuts.

 

[Phil]

Have you tiled everything in?

Bath panel?

You say the basin is tiled in?

I mean, while fitting the bathroom you or someone must have noticed the toilet cistern was hot while you were there and before it was all tiled.

I'm confused....

"well it was fine before you started" is the most annoying empty logic going.

If the dog craps on the carpet after I've opened my toolbox is that my fault too?

Yes, of course, if you hadn't opened your tool box you wouldn't have scared my dog and put it off its stride.

I can't even write this without laughing.

Probably it was your toolbox that scared him!! he was fine before you opened it!!

is it possible that the cwsc feeds the woman down stairs as she said she has no water in her bathroom now.since we renovated the guys bathroom.possibly another job to do.so i should hold syphon open to see if boiler fires up?

 

[WaterTight]

oh dear. you have my sympathies...

and yeah, hold inlet open. if cistern gets hot = your prob. if not = his prob.

Probably fairly easy to diagnose if you're in the bathroom, providing the customer isn't stood over you and not saying anything. I mean whats all that about.? I'm too polite to tell them to 'do one'

I had to tell a customer off recently though, I was there ages fiddling with a shower valve that another guy had not been able to put back together, she stood over over me with a right attitude. Talk about putting me off, she then had the cheek to say "if you couldn't fix it why didn't you say you could on the phone?" I lost my cool and told her I couldn't fix it while you were on my back. She went downstairs and 5 mins later I'd fixed it.

All I needed was some breathing room, unbelievable.

 

[Phil]

Whats this about a CWSC?

I thought it was a combi?

Must be a Friday night wind up..........you got me!! :seeya:

 

[WaterTight]

-Right, first thing we need to do is to make the system stable by letting off some of the pressure. A cup of tea's worth should do it. Would you mind?

 

[mrplumberman]

the guy had asked us to remove the cwsc as it no longer was needed as we installed a mains fed electric shower.wish it was a wind up.this is totally stressing me out as the guy is going bush.

[mrplumberman]

i,ve never had this happen before.and iaint running mate as the guy owes me doh.if i swap pipes at the boiler and washing machine would that sort it?

 

[WaterTight]

This reminds me of advice given to me by my ex boss when I'd screwed up big on a job. He took me to one side and said, "At the end of this year are you going to look back and say that was the job that ruined me? If the answer to that is no then you've just simply got to grin and bear it - get on with it, do whatever it takes to sort it out, leave everyone as happy as possible and move on."

 

[mrplumberman]

yes i,m insured.but don,t want to go down that road.

Now that's good advice

We don't know you will have to see if you just crossed in bathroom or everywhere!!!

without knowing the piping layout then we couldn't possibly say, well i couldn't anyways, You metioned electric shower earlier in thread and i've asked a couple times does combi fire up when in use and still awaiting an answer
