cost and timescale with also isolating old boiler and replacing stop tap
replacement of a bath
How long does it take on average to replace a bath and an average cost?
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.

Lo pH water corrosion
Has anyone knowledge or experience of a Mains Low pH water supply in Moray Scotland. I appear to have corrosion on my mainly hot water ( not heating ) copper pipes. The house has only been supplied by mains. Any help would be appreciated.
EXTERIOR SOIL STACK PIPE
Hi, My vertical soil stack pipe that carries the toilet waste from the upper levels of my house to the underground drainage system is seeping water from all the joints. All the seals look corroded and need replacing. Also the joint at the ground floor window level is slowly being pushed apart. Its pushing outwards. There is no bracket fixing it to the wall. The pipe is not solid in the ground, it moves. Could the joint that is pulling apart just be fixed by fixing a bracket to the wall and/or should the pipe be moving in the ground and if not how does that get fixed? I have been told that I should ask a plumber. Would be grateful for any advice. Thanks.

Mains water stop
I just wonder when we change interior stop tap in property, shall we inform to water supply because we are using mains stop outside the road to stop water supply to house or is it Ok to carried out work without informing water supply authority? And also how do we find out if the mains stop valve supply water to only your property or your neighbours too?
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.
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?
