  • Warm outdoor tap

    Years ago we had an outdoor tap fitted that gave us warm water for washing our dogs. Kitchen sink was moved during refurb and they changed all the pipes so now only hot water out of the tap…they removed a small valve that was really small and simple but I can’t find it online anywhere- it wasn’t one of the big TMVs I’ve seen- just a small brass joint..any help appreciated!

    Back Boiler Replacement

    Hello, I’m looking at buying a property which has a back boiler, what would the likely cost be of removing this and replacing it with a combi boiler? I appreciate costs will vary, depending on work needed. The current back boiler is in the lounge, the water tank is in the bedroom directly above. We’d like the combi boiler to be placed in the kitchen. We’re based in Hampshire. Many thanks for any advice.
