Hi,
I notices a stain on the ceiling about 12:30 today (christmas eve) the brass fitting that screws on to the pump in the airing cupboard was dripping, so I gave it a tighten and it started leaking even more so I gave it another tighten and was squirting out.
I shouted the wife to get a bucket and I raced down stairs to drain the radiators. In the coupling was a washer that had decided it was time and had given up, it was just mush, now at 1:00 christmas eve plumbers aren't open so I had to come up with a solution, looking round the garage I spotted the wifes wellies and after some quick work with a compass and scissors I had a replacement washer made and its all water tight and working, phew, I wounder how much the call out charge is on christmas eve?
