As it...
Hi guys had to open a new account not sure what happened to my old one.. Is there a drill pump out there that can pump up my 1st fixes for pressure tests? As doing it by hand can take a long time. Thanks.
Hi guys just wondering is there a drill pump or something that I can attach to pressure test when I'm on new builds. Currently using the rothenberger pressure test pump but that can take a while to get up to pressure pumping by hand. Thanks guys.

Hi All,
I recently had a new kitchen, installed by a local company. When I opened the cupboard under the new sink I was surprised that half of the cupboard is taking up with the copper pipe runs which to my non plumbing eye are a convoluted mess. As I say I am no plumber so would like to hear...
I have a client with grant vortex combi 21 condensing 2007. Looks similar to be new vortex 21e but the control panel is different. Has a few seperate circuit boards and clear relays.
The fault is that it just stays on when central heating on until high limit kicks in. I've checked for trapped...
Hi All,
My wife and I our renovating our first house together and have become a little stuck installing our wet underfloor heating system. Before we end up phoning around local plumbers I thought I'd post on here to see if anyone has any bright ideas.

I always do a flue integrity check on the air inlet sample point. Never had an issue.
Doing one today and I realised I don’t know what values the are to be classed as a fail.

Hi everyone,
Just looking for some advice/reassurance. My boiler had its second annual service today and the (gas safe) engineer recorded a 0.5mb drop on the tightness test. He assured my partner that this was nothing to worry about but as I wasn't home at the time I just wanted reassurance...
First post after reading many on this forum.
