    can I install a bath onto walled tiles?

    I've a wet room all tiled but I want to put a p bath in under the shower onto the walls. I don't want to have to redecorate, just install the bath. One plumber said he would seal it ato the tiles, another said you have to fix it to the wall not the tiles. He went on to say taking one row of tiles off may damage the next tiles and it'd be best having "mermaid" bath panels on the wall to fix the bath to. Which plumber is right? Thanks

    Banging pipes

    There is a banging sound coming from the pipes in my house. It happens often enough. What could be causing this issue? Is it something that ought to be fixed or is it just an annoyance that is doing no real damage? If it needs to be fixed, how much might it cost?

    Hi All. I have a glowworm flexicom cx24 boiler and the filling loop is letting by slowly, I have check by unscrewing the loop slightly and confirmed it. How do I remediate this without changing the valves completely? Is there a cap I can put on the valve after I remove the filling loop? The lock off for the filling loop in on the valve itself. Both valves are in the locked off position. Any help would be great, thanks.

    Change a radiator with communal heating

    I want to change my passage radiator, we cut the water supply to the radiators, there was no running hot water and every radiator was off. We isolated the radiator that we wanted to take off. I'm on communal heating by the way, as we started to drain the water there was just loads coming out, we stopped at 2 buckets but more wanted to come, is this normal? Or have we done something wrong?
