I'd like to replace individual taps with a mixer unit. The bath is pre-metric. Will metric mixer fittings be compatible?

Section of central heating metal pipe corroded, how much to replace section, size approx 1inch, pipe accessible

I'm planning a bathroom refurb. The shower mixer will be recessed into tiling, the loo and basin wall hung. Where would the isolation taps go if everything is hidden behind tiles to keep the room water tight? Do I need a box in the hall outside?

I have painted my bath with enamel paint can the taps be replaced without damaging the paint finish i have bought taps but not sure how to get them off

I HAVE HAD AN ESTIMATE FOR PLUMBING WORK AND HE WOULD LIKE HALF THE MONEY UP FRONT A WEEK BEFORE WORK COMMENCES IS THIS PROPER PRACTICE? OR SHOULD I PAY WHEN WORK IS COMPLETED? THANK YOU

Hi there, I have a megaflo boiler (uses Economy 7). Recently the off peak facility stopped working for the hot water, though storage heaters are working OK. I'm not sure what the issue is.

This company have quoted but we need the rating on your system

See title

When I turn the hot tap off it continues to drip hot water. Any ideas?

I'm looking for someone to fix a washing machine but can't seem to find the category for it, am I just not seeing it?

It's a long story and I will try to summarise in bullet points: -I needed to replace an old boiler and was given two quotes -I went with the combo boiler option as after reading online, it seemed the best option for the small flat -the boiler was fitted and immediately I noticed that the once wonderful shower, now had no pressure and that the hot water was sporadic -when approached, the plumbing firm said that they had removed the pump as it was not compatible with the combi boiler. This was not quoted for and was not authorised at any point. If I had known either before or during the work, I would have chosen the non-combi option which is compatible with a pump. -Four months on, I am still trying for a resolution but the one they are now giving through their guild is what I asked for originally and the co. said it was 'unsafe and would pollute the water supply'. How is it now safe? Please can you advise if this will work and why their suggesting it means it is safe, when it wasn't when I suggested it...? I only want to know that it is alright and that it will not start another set of problems. To reinstate the pump: Drain down the system Take hot water feed from the boiler to the kitchen tap Reinstate original cold to feed cylinder Run flow and return from the combination boiler to feed the cylinder to supply hot water for the shower Re-instate the original pump Supply and fit 2 x 2 port valves to operate both heating and hot water Supply and fit a new timer clock Supply and fit a new cylinder stat This has caused me so much stress and money, not to mention devaluing my home as a result of the ineffective bathroom. I am desperate for it to be resolved. Fitting an electric shower has also been suggested by others but I have a very expensive shower, which was brilliant. Also, would that be more powerful? Would it solve the problem of hot water dropping out mid shower? Thank you in advance for any help

We have damp appearing as have been advised too have our pipes checked, what do we do?

Our tenants have complained that the water boiler times isn't working, i'm not sure it ever did! Should we get a plumber or electrician in to look at it?

Using a remeha 39c boiler and 8 radiators what would be approx. cost
