    Bit of a long shot but I have a customer with a Sanitan Savoy loo which has a broken seat. Replacements are no longer available (except having them made specially for silly money). Has anyone got either a second hand octagonal loo seat or knows where I can find one?

    Waste pipes linked together

    Just been to a house where people have just moved in. When you empty a basin it back flows into the bath and shower tray before slowly seeping away. The water in the shower tray fills at a faster rate than it runs away and if you empty the bath it overflows the shower tray. More alarmingly...

    Work experience in Summer

    Wanted - Cast wheel heads for 2" gate valve.

    Does anyone have any gate valve wheels which take a 3/8" square shank. I believe 1 1/2 and 2" standard brass gate valve wheels will be correct. 2 are needed for a yacht restoration project.
