Hi everyone, I’m a bit paranoid about asbestos, and I’m living in this apartment - looks to be around mid80s - with a texture on most of the walls (although not ceilings) and the built-in cupboards and shelves. It’s mostly in good condition, but there are a few damaged bits. Do you reckon it’s a...
Need advice around these clicking sounds. I posted last week, but I didn’t get much luck. This I have recorded the sounds. The sound appear to be around my toilet, but I don’t think the toilet is the issue but something behind toilet - in the wall and probably a pipe.
Hope you can help me...
I have a very important customer that wants a Toto wall hung toilet. I would like to use a Geberit. The unique part is the customer wants a remote flush button and not the carrier access panel in the bathroom. My supplier states that the carrier can be hung rotated 180 so the access and...
We have a plasterer coming this week and the radiators need to come off! A DIY friend came round and removed all but 1 radiator as he wasnt sure what to do as the thermastat on one end has been broken??? HELP if we turn the valve off at the other end will this do the job so we can just remove it...
Hello,
When a Danfoss RAS C2 10 mm TRV is open to its maximum setting is this the same or almost the same as having a rad with no TRV ?.
And if it is open to this maximum and left open can a wall thermostat be placed in the same room and work effectively ?.
I'm in a property with a newly fitted...
Just bought a Crosswater Fusion 3 hole wall mounted bath tap. Can't for the life of me figure how I can fit and secure it.
According to the instructions there are two screwed flanges on the body of the tap that hold the tap. Sounds reasonable except that the length of the tap and hence max...
Hi all,
The radiator has fallen off a wall on one side - the screw into the wall seems to have been into the mortar rather than the brick and come out (see Pic1).
Attached are the ends either side of the radiator - my question is, will I be able to isolate and drain this radiator myself? If...
I'm going to need a new boiler before too long, it's been in there for a while and really showing it's age.
My current boiler is 55k BTu and does only the central heating. (I also have a multipoint boiler that does my hot water. I KNOW I could have a combi, but I like it this way). The CH...
We are renovating our house and after a lot of playing around I have worked out the best floorplan for upstairs. It means the only place I can fit our ensuite is in the middle of the house, the toilet will be 2.7m from the main soil stack in the family bathroom. It is in a straight line and I...
We have just moved into our house and are having trouble finding the water shut off valve. There is a sticker on the boiler which says '' Water shut off in dining room wall also below boiler '' I have checked all the obvious places (under kitchen sink, kitchen cupboards, floor board near boiler...

I have looked at a range of TRV heads costing between £10 and £60 and it seems until you buy them, you don't really know what you are getting for your money. They all use batteries, they all allow multi temperatures to be set depending on time of day and day of week.
Some are direct entry only...
Hi, was after some advice on getting a better drop on a downstairs 6m 110mm soil pipe running under floorboards. Has been in since moving in and has never drained properly. Some of this I thought was due to a 5L water saving flush but as a family stuck to a number 1s only rule till I could have...
Went to put a boss strap on what i thought was PVC pipe, ended up being a thinwall clay pipe. Is their any way over this apart from a shower waste pump? This is in a bottom floor flat with two flats above. Any help much appreciated. The boss strap was for a low level shower.

Hello everyone.

I'm removing a radiator from an en-suite. It will not be replaced. There is speedfit micro bore behind it into the plasterwork and it may or may not be push fitted on to copper, I'm unable to see...
Hi all,
There’s a combi tank wall mounted in the actual flat and the new kitchen tap is higher than the HW feed from the cylinder.
I’m looking for suggestions on a pump suitable for the bathroom and kitchen for the HW only. There’s only one person living in the flat so there’s no chance of more...

Dear All,
We have this (see attached) pipe fitting next to an old brick fireplace that seems to be a gas fitting. We want to remove it but don't know how. The screws holding the bracket to the wall are behind the silver fitting and are difficult to get to with a screwdriver. Ideally we would...
