    Hi, I am trying to install a new basin, and have just realised that that the bottle trap is offset from the basins waste outlet. This is because the pipework had been previously made to fit the old basin. I'd say that the length I need from the basins waste to the bottle trap is about 6-7...

    How can I temporarily blank toilet soil pipe?

    Hi, is there a way that I can temporarily blank off the WC connection to the soil pipe? I'm trying to remove the toilet, while fitting out the suite. Is there a way to plug the hole? I heard you can buy covers for these. Thanks

    Why wouldn't you fit a new Boiler with a Magnetic Filter?

    Leaking immersion element and drain tap problem

    Hi my boiler has two elements. And both of them needed changing. The top one went in ok but the bottom one has sprung a small drip. We have put PTFE tape and LSX around it. But it is still dripping, so it could be that the gasket failed somehow. I also had a big problem draining the tank...
