Leaking Mono Mixer tap
I have a Wilkes Siranne Mono Mixer tap on my bathroom sink. It's from about 2013 and has two rectangular knobs. The hot side is leaking and it likes to sing quite a bit. I've removed the screw, but cannot get the handle off. Is it worth attempting a replacement of the cartridge, or just go for a new tap? Thanks

Replace electric shower
Hi hive mind I'm moving into a new house soon and planning to completely rip out the bathroom and start again. Currently there is a bath with an electric shower. the water is served by a tank (there's one in the loft and one in the cupboard next to the bathroom) i'm assuming there are hot and cold pipes running from the water tank to serve the bath taps? in this case when i do the re-fit is it going to be possible to install a mixer shower (i plan to get rid of the bath entirely for a nice walk in shower/wet room look) or am i forever stuck with electric showers? the tiles and floors will be getting ripped up anyway so i'm assuming it shouldn't be a problem? Thanks all!

Draining radiators on a communal heating system
Hi all, I have a small plumbing job to do for which I need to drain the radiators in my property. There are only two radiators, that are fed by a communal boiler, and pass through an immersion heater. I have already identified the isolation valves for the primary flow and the return to my property. I don't have access to the communal boiler, or the specifications for it, and the building manager hasn't responded to my e-mails in months. What I need to know is, how do I isolate my radiator system from the communal boiler in order to drain the radiators and work on the pipes, and then safely open the flow again once the work is done? I have no pressure gauge in my property, is pressure something I need to worry about? Or is it as simple as turning off the flow and return to my property, draining the radiators, doing the work, and then turning them on again and bleeding the radiators until they refill? I'd be very grateful to anyone that can help with this query.
