Will keep an eye out for that one, well done to puddle, does he get a cash
prize or something?

Fitted a 1.5 stainless steel sink today. Hate these bloody things, especially the waste systems they supply with them.
Not compatible with British traps. Managed to join the two waste outlets together without drilling another hole in the wall.
Had to use a bath trap for the small sink nothing else would fit.
Trouble was the customer wanted a garden tap fitted as well, so a bit crowded under there.

I replaced an oval shaped plastic sink. (Not a 1.5)

It was sunny today and the sun was reflecting off the new stainless steel sink and dazzling everybody.
The customer said. "Ooh I never thought of that.
Now he will probably have to buy a sun awning for over the window.
I almost had a catastrophe when I pushed the washing machine back and it only just fitted past the small sink with millimeters to spare. Whew.

Anyone got any good tips regarding the waste systems.

Never had a problem with fitting the wastes, the problem is that UK traps have a spigot on them unlike continental traps, simple solution, cut off the spigot

It would be best to put a new high efficent boiler in save you money in the long run!!
