Question: Plumbing / radiator advice needed.?
I know very little about rads, DIY or repairs so please answer simple. I have a radiator leak in the kitchen, Ive googled radiators to see the tye and it appears to be a round top single convector, if that means anything to anyone. The leak is not from any valves but from the radiator itself its a small pin size hole i assume and the water is not dripping its gushing out, filled a large pan in half an hour.

I know the obvious answer is call a plumber but I cant afford on, and Ive looked online but everything keeps sayin leaky vales, and like i say its not the valve its the leak itself. I get paid in a week, and can get a plumber then, is there anyway i can stop the water getting to the rad til then?

Please help.
And sorry for spelling mistakes, im jus panicking.

Turn off the valves either side of the radiator. Keep the pan there until the radiator is empty.

Question: Sending a CV and letter for an apprenticeship plumbing position, what to say?
As I am 36 I would not be as popular as a younger applicant for this position, so would it be advisable for me to offer to pay half the apprenticeship fees? Also my CV is full of teaching experience and looks good if I was applying for a teaching position, but not for a plumbing posiiton. I have been working as a handyman ( for myself) and have completed a basic DIY course in brickwork and plastering (ten weeks). Should I put these on CV? I have also signed up for a two nights a week plumbing course (technical certificate level 2. What should I eliminate or add from the CV and cover letter?

Answer:

Answer by Andrew Reinhart
Include everything that could relate to your DIY experience, this includes, bricklaying, plastering and the application for a plumbing course.

When it comes down to it, an apprenticeship is just a way for an employer to get the work done for a low price, while providing that person with the qualifications and experience to go on to make a living for themselves. The more mature, experienced and eager to learn to are, the more likely you are to be accepted – regardless of your age.

You may want to offer to pay half of the fees, but that probably won’t be necessary.
