  • How much does it cost to install boiler and radiators

    I have a boiler that I would like replacing with a Combi boiler - installation only. Do you know how much this would cost. Also, a price for replacing eleven radiators of which four are doubles - supply and installation. The boiler I am looking at is a Worcester Bosch, Greenstar

    Radiators turning on when hot water used

    Why do my radioators turn on when the hot water tap is turned on? We've turned the dial on the boiler to "water only" but it hasn't worked. We have an ideal combi boiler. Is this something we could fix ourselves or would we have to get a plumber in? If so, how much would this cost? Thanks. Much appreciated for any advise.

    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

    Do log burning fires need a chimney liner inserted?

    Hello, I have a log burner fire installed in my home with a plate fitted above it also. When the fire is burning, the chimney breast does get very hot and there are some occasional crackling noises. Due to this I am considering a chimney liner to try help resolve this. Does my log burning fire need a chimney flue liner and will it make much difference to the heat on the chimney breast? Is my fire still safe to use in the meantime?

    Overflow in loft tank

    Question for any proper plumbers. Daughters loft tank overflow occasionally runs. I have replaced the ball valve & set it well below the overflow. However we notice that every so often it still overflows. I noticed it when i ran hot & cold in kitchen to clean a couple of rollers & today it happened when she ran a bath. Any ideas? Some sort of back flow? Its not all the time. TIA for any ideas / answers.

    What should I do about a blocked sink drainpipe?

    Hi all Today I had a blockage in my sink’s drain pipe – I decided to unblock it using some drain unblocker liquid, thinking the block may just be some leftovers that had gotten stuck somehow. Unfortunately, this hasn’t helped and now I have a blocked drain pipe with unblocking liquid in there too. Is there any way I could try and fix this myself or would I be best to ask a plumber to take a look?

    Outside Tap query

    If an outside tap is already fitted with a double check valve in it then will it require any additional valves for the pipework inside for safety/prevent freezing?

    Non return tap connector

    I want to connect my hot and cold outdoor taps to one hose for washing the car etc . As they dont have an inbuilt non return valve cani just use a hoselock type non return valve on both taps , then connect to hose via a splitter/ y branch without any further plumbing. Also are they required on both taps, or should I have to replace both taps with built in valves?
