    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?

    Horn sound when hot tap is turned on

    We keep getting a horn like sound from the pipe when we turn on the hot taps in both upstairs bathroom (mostly from here on shower and sink) and in the kitchen sink. It happens when we first turn it on, and we have to turn the pressure down for it to stop and slowly turn it up and then it's fine we had the boiler serviced recently

    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?

    Filling Loop letting by

    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.

    Mould spreading after a fixed water leak

    Can mould spread throughout a home even if there isn’t a water leakage issue? Mould is still spreading in different rooms of the house. It all started with a big leak several years ago but that issue was fixed and I don’t see any other signs of leakage. So is it possible that some of the mould simply survived the initial effort to kill it off and has spread from there even without a renewed problem with water leaking? I know that moisture can cause the problem too. How can I tell if moisture/humidity levels are too high in my home? And how can I rule out the possibility that a new water leak is helping the mould to spread again?
