    Hi guys, I just installed a new worktop in my utility so I don't need the sink waste anymore (but want to leave fitting there in case next owner may want to put in another sink at a later date). Is there any cap end on the market that will work to just cap it off or what do you guys recommend to do?

    Hi All I have found that the drain hose from the washing machine is being squashed. This is preventing the washing machine from draining. How can I stop this from happening? The main problem is the washing machine is a tight fit and has to be pushed right back as far as possible. Any ideas? Jim
