From my experience here in the UK with plumbers there is no such thing as a professional plumber but they will tell you they are.So  good luck with that Stoop.    :)

Sorry but that's crap! I have three very professional; plumbers that I can call on in York.   :)

Bernie, I am amazed that your place does not have a solar water heater on the roof.  I always thought that all the house had one installed as standard when they were built. 

Jamesuk, Do you really think that every Plumber in the U.K. Is not a professional??   I find that a very naive thing to write.     I would also say we had a wonderful professional plumber fit us a whole new shower room here in Calis.  A man who took great pride in his work and even brought our neighbours in to see the lovely job he had done....from  fitting the sanitary ware to tiling the room from top to bottom.
He also put a new solar system on our roof, which works perfectly.

I know Jacqui. Because the family only use it for a month every year they don't bother. It was one of the first  to be built up here. The water tank  was only filled once for them. It cost us 90 lira a Week!  Getting sorted now,and have every faith in Kadir to fit me the best solar system and not  be chasing the tank down the top road in the height of winter  : :) ;D

I am sure you will find the solution Stoop must be really frustrating for you!
Sorry what a ridiculous third post from Jamesuk our boiler man in uk is a registered plumber and has kept our boiler going long after weve expected to have to buy a new one!
I really hope me saying this does not jinx my boiler as i am aware of being a bit of a jinx lately!

I said in my experience. We do have what I would say is a professional. But in the past we have had one to a boiler service and all he did was get the hoover out and hoover the inside of our back boiler. Cost was £80  Had another put in a power shower for us and we had to get him back 4 times to put things right. Another who lives 200yds from us went to prison for 4 years. The reason he installed a boiler system for an elderly couple and it caught fire. They were lucky to walk away. It turned out this professional plumber was not Corgi register so was not allowed to install gas appliances legally by law
I believe it isn't called Corgi but Gas Safe now Those are as I say my experience of plumbers and I am not saying all plumbers are like those I have mentioned.
