  • Fireplace back boiler removal

    Just moved into my new house. It’s Oil heating and has an open fire. Im not sure if previous owner used the fire. I’m getting new fireplace installed and have been told to remove back boiler before installation. Is this something a plumber needs to do or is this a specialist job. Does it need to be completely taken out or is it just a matter of disconnecting it?

    We live in a very hard water area and have seen water softeners advertised online. Are they worth the money and are they easy to install and maintain?

    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.

    Bathroom upgrade

    Hello I’m interested in an answer on a question: I recently posted a job request for a bathroom upgrade with a fair amount that I would be happy to pay so why am I finding it so difficult to find a plumber? This is not the only site I have looked for a plumber on . I’m in London so I thought it should be easy. Does anyone have an idea as to why this could be ? I have already had 2 plumbers round to quote and they have gone cold without giving a quote on the job .. Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong? Thank you

    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
