Hello - bit stumped with something. Got a new place last week and had the vinyl in the bathroom replaced yesterday. Found out this morning (the hard way) that the toilet has not been screwed to the floor. Carpenter came back to look and said they definitely unscrew anything and that it looked...

I was hoping to get some general advice for some work I'm planning to have done. I'd like to have a good plan of what I want before I start getting quotes. I want to replace the bathroom suite soon. The bathroom is directly above the kitchen and the pipes go from under the kitchen sink and up...

Hi there, I am looking to remove for toilet so I can re-tile my bathroom. However, I am concerned that once I go to install the toilet, the level/position won’t be the same and not match the existing water supply pipe. Unfortunately, there isn’t a flexi hose and I’m not sure there is room to...

I have had this creda shower for around 7 years or so and have had no problems. Bought one of those stone shower heads from ‘Showery’ last week and now discovered a leak. It appears to be originating from the base of the heater tank and then dripping down towards the outlet nozzle. I made sure...

We are having to cut out channels in our existing kitchen floor slab for a new kitchen island. I will need to place an electric feed for the sockets; cold feed, hot feed and a gas pipe. I will also have to re-do some drainage so will dig out for that and re-cover. So I guess I'm keen on...

Hi All, I'm planning a new extension and having viewed a good number of forums I've not been able to assure myself I know the best approach to my issue so i'm putting it out you guys for your advice please. Planning a wrap-around, ground floor extension which will cover the driveway up to the...

Hi there, We moved into a victorian property a couple of years ago, which already had a wrap around extension built in the 70's. The kitchen wastes run alongside an internal wall and then through what would have been the external wall at the back and down into what is now a concreted floor...

Hello :) Am about to install central heating pipework, radiators etc in old part of house in advance of a professionally built house extension which will house a new electric boiler, plus woodburner with back-boiler to provide carbon neutral heating. The attached plan shows a diagram of what I...

In what order would you create a wet room? Renovation. I have stripped the old wet room back to brick. I just want your guys opinions on what order you would do things from materials used to completion. I will have concrete block benches, screed slope floor to the drain, and shower head mixer...

Hi I'm really stumped, I thought I had a logical brain, but this is really confusing me, please help me choose the right next steps. My bath drain leaks when water goes down the overflow. The leak looks to be between the grey rubber gasket which clips onto the fibreglass of the bath around...

I have stripped the old wet room back to brick. I just want your guys opinions on what order you would do things from materials used to completion. I will have concrete block benches, screed slope floor to the drain, and shower head mixer etc... but as for everything, what order and how would...

Hope you've all had a merry Christmas, I appreciate anyone taking the time to reply. Newly renovated property, I'm a tenant looking to get a headstart on diagnosing the issue before approaching my landlord. Water has never drained quickly since moving in over a week ago. I cleaned the trap out...

Hi all, After replacing some floorboards over the weekend I managed to plant a screw into a 15mm central heating copper pipe (dont ask! - it was the very last screw as well!). I had a couple of spare 15mm compression coupler fittings handy and was able to do a quick repair using the couplers...

Pretty self explanatory title, but when we flush our toilet it causes the plug in our bath to bubble, and let’s out a bad smell. Vice versa, when we empty the bath the toilet makes a noise. They aren’t even in the same room, as our toilet is separate from the bathroom. We have a plumber...

We are gutting and redesigning our entire bathroom which is an 80's disaster of peach and frilly horror. Please see the photo of our current bathroom (de-tiling underway)+ current toilet layout, and my (cough) technical diagrams of what is to come We are building a new half wall which will...

Hi. Just had some repair a small leak I had on a bathroom tap - it's an awkward spot so got someone out to do it. Apparently, the washer was gone. They have fixed the leak but I have just managed to have a proper look, and it seems like they have kinked the braided hose. Should I be worried...

Hello all! During lockdown in April we moved into a new house and on day 1 found a gas leak which required a new boiler system. Our options were limited due to full lockdown so we got in touch with the closest boiler installation guy we could find, willing to work during the lockdown. Long...

Hi everyone, I wonder if you can help. I had a leak recently and this was because the person who installed the combi boiler forgot to connect the waste pipe to the condensate pipe. The company came round and a different guy connected the waste pipe. However, he didn't connect this to the sink...

Hi I’ve recently moved into an old property and am waiting for central heating to be put in. It currently has old storage heaters and I’m worried that they may contain asbestos. Especially if my pregnant wife is around.. The model is berry magicoal 4102 I have looked on registers of heaters...
