Im happy with instal would nt change anything ,but I was lucky to give it a lot of thought before hand. I was torn at the time whether to put combi in loft to save on room in understair cupboard. If I did it again id consider working with someone, lifting combi on jig,passing pipes through ceiling ripping out old system down from loft...need two pair of hands all the time  cheers battle... |

don't forget to take the foam lagging off the cylinder, the scrap yard will put a charge on for it, also divide your scrap into bags, pure copper, brazing copper ( with soldered fittings on ) and brass, that way you get the best price, |

I've seen this video before from the screwfix days. Very interesting and informative and it made me laugh, I reckon it's my all time favourite "toms tip" too! I can see echoes of Monty pythons "Golden Gordon" in there as well. Intentional or not tom? |

My favourite toms tips has got to be the multi meter one, closely followed by the one called shocking, were tom ends up on the floor!!!! Yeah, they are both absolute classics. At work a couple of years ago the foreman electrician gave the plumbers a talk on testing electrics and proofing connections with some equipment he had bought specially for us plumbers. I thought about toms video and how funny it would be to fane an electric shock there and then, however, I chickened out of doing it in the end!! |

I was approached by a sparks course tutor a couple of years back asking to use the multimeter one in his class, Of course I said yes, So it must have delighted quite a few over the years,  |
