I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

Anchor at the top where the brick jumps out then a 4-1 pulley and yes plenty you even have to insert a plug first to make it easier for the pipe to go in, so plug in lube the pipe up remove the plug insert the pipe around 40kg of pressure needed (roughly) helps if the rubbers are warm will take a pic of the fitting tomorrow

Toilet overflow ?? Any reason

C'mon, I repiped the cold and got rid of the boxing on the wall under the window.


Seriously though, didn't want to pay for a new syphon, even though I had the toilet apart.
I would have changed it, but there you go.
Sods law, is it may need one now anyway.

The floors the best bit, nearly a full tile, 65mm, from one side to the other. I said I could level it, but again didn't want to pay.

Cor I've wrestled with a few cc cistern overflow's in my lifetime - was great when England approved internal overflows (warning pipes) - on the other hand how much water is wasted down the pan every year........??

I think people tend to get them fixed quicker with the internal overflows.

But it's one of those jobs where its dripped for 4 months but it's an emergency at 4.00 on a friday afternoon.

Had somebody message me this morning, I need an outside tap fitting tomorrow.

It didn't end well.

Apparently me saying it would be at least 3 weeks was totally unacceptable.

Go figure.
