Hi, I'm going to this job in the morning, see pics.
Where would you start? I'm thinking around the tap outside as there is signs of a leak there and would have obviously run down. Or do I start inside near the stopcock? Anyone had anything similar?
I can't get there until 0830 so I want to...
Hi,
Looking for advice as noticed today that the rubber collar seal with sits around the flue of my condensing boiler is coming away slightly on the top part from the external brickwork...is this something which needs to be looked at? Think the birds have been pulling at it!
Thanks
Despite BG covering my boiler with Homecare for years, they have just decided that the external flue is now not sufficient - quoting new Regulations - and they won't cover my boiler any more!
The flue has a large square opening (as shown) and is around 200mm deep. Can anyone recommend how to...
Hi all, just had a new wc fitted and there is a 25mm gap between the cistern and the tiled wall, the only thing holding it all in place are the two screws holding the pan down. Is there any thing I can use to fill the gap and support the cistern? Thanks.
Hi, I’ve bought a new build that’s just had kitchen installed (due for completion in 8 weeks) I went to see house this week and saw my house differs to others on site. (They are semi-detached and mirror each other, with flue on the side) my semi detached is different, they put my flue on front...
Hi,
I've converted half my out-house into a small office. It's getting rather cold in there now the temperature is starting to drop.
I want to wall mount an electric fire but the only space available is underneath my boiler.
I'm concerned this could be dangerous. Any advice is welcome...
Hi all.
My mother has a large lounge with central heating. Because the layout forces a sofa to block a rad she also uses a portable gas heater in the winter months. She now wants to replace this with a fitted unit.
The lounge has a faux surround on an external wall with no obstructions outside...
Hi,
I currently have a shower with an aerator attached at the wall fixings. I have just bought a new shower head with an integral aerator, so no longer need the original one. However, when I remove it, the shower hose (standard fit) no longer fits as the aerator tapers from 2cm diameter to...
Hi,

New soil stack for new second floor toilet
Looks like I need to make a bigger hole in outside and inside wall so that the sockets go into the hole through the wall to match up with the pipe clip distance on the outside stack....

The Boss wants me to seal the sides and top of the pan against the WC cabinet. Obviously I will seal around the base but I think sides and top will look rubbish.
What do others think?

Came across this unusual shower unit.
Sirrus shower, leaking from the hoses on the back, which are perishing.
They are pushed onto spigots then secured using jubilees.
Anyone know where I can get some new hoses?
Thanks
Hello,
Here is the tap I have
basin mixer - bathroom taps and mixers - synergie - VADO
After installation, the tap spout is too long and situated too high, so the water stream is missing the sink!
It would be very expensive and difficult to lower or change the tap as it is wall mounted.
Do...
Hi all,
I'm planning to buy a wall scanner, that can detect copper pipes, joists and electrics.
Any recommendations would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi all. Ive been helping my brother in his newly aquired house and the internal walls are breeze block. Not the notmal type I’ve seen before but they seem to have hay in them? Also they’re not solid all the way through. I’ll add a picture as its easier. My question is whether its safe for them...
If installing a vertical gas pipe in a wall chase. And fully encasing after. Do most people try and avoid the perks joints in the wall? As they are not always fully sealed with mortar. Or maybe its just the new build site I work on there not. Thanks for any thoughts.
