  • Replacement outside Tap

    Hi, I have recently had a repair done on my stop tap. The plumber removed the outside tap as a quick repair. He came back the next day to do the repair. After he finished the job i asked him about the outside tap. He said sorry i forgot to connect it. So off her went and reconnected the outside tap. My question is he's not fitted a DCV or a way for me to isolate the water during winter. There wasn't a DCV installed before but does he not need to install one now? Thanks

    Single water supply into a block of 4 flats

    I have just bought a top floor flat in a Victorian building that can been converted into 4 flats. My builder found that there is only one water supply to the whole building, rather than to each flat. I have found that because of this, my water will constantly shut off (I’m assuming this is when someone else in the building is using the water). Is there anything that I can do about this?! Thanks in advance, Jo

    Calculating BTU and choosing radiators and capcula

    I am currently researching radiators and trying to calculate BTU to ensure I choose the right size and type. I am COMPLETELY new to this process as well as working with tradespeople. I am doing something wrong, because the numbers I get sound way off - over 9000 BTU for a small bedroom. I have read on a few radiator selling sites that the best way to choose a radiator is to get a plumber in who will calculate the BTU more precisely and help choose the right radiator. As professionals, would you say that’s correct? Is helping choose the right radiators part of service you offer? Or is more a heating engineers’ territory? Many thanks in advance!

    stiff shower valve

    Hi, I have a problem with my shower valve. The thermostat is stiff, thus is difficult to adjust the hot/cold water. From producer website the product is described as: "twin outlet triple control concealed thermostatic valve with ABS coverplate" (http://www.purabathrooms.co.uk/catalog/showers/showers-concealed-shower-valves/SQTCV). I need an expert opinion, but I assume the work needed is: - either check if there is any lime scale and try to clean it - either change the showervalve is the limescale cannot be removed. Anybody able to help me with this? Thank you, George

    How much does it cost to plumb in a dishwasher

    Hi, we are currently looking to buy a house and we were wondering how much it would cost to plumb in a dishwasher. There is only space for a washing machine in the kitchen currently, we want to know before we consider buying the house how much it will cost on average to plumb in a dishwasher either next to the washing machine or on the other side of the kitchen, which I assume would involve lifting floorboards, as this will affect our offer on the house Many thanks
