Thanks, I might replace both just to be safe is this the hose? http://www.screwfix.com/p/hose-15mm-x-mm-x-300mm/63404

The hose connecting my toilet to the mains supply was leaking last week so i've isolated it and looking to replace the hose. I've attached images of each end. It looks to me like 1/2BSP, male one end and female the other. Can someone confirm and perhaps give me the proper name for it so I can...

Like this Edit, sorry just re-read your post. You've already decided where the toilet is going.

the easiest place to do it with proper waste connection will be as close to an existing waste stack as possible. Directly under your existing toilet would be easiest most likely but that is inside your family room. If that isn't an option, perhaps build a small extension on the side of your...

I've finished a loft conversion a year or so ago which included a shower room. It works fine but I feel it lacks pressure. If I turn the flow up to max, it doesn't get overly hot and still isn't as strong a flow as i'd like. I have a combi boiler in the kitchen providing all the hot water...

As far as i'm aware, the BT master socket belongs to BT and you're not allowed to move it. Hopefully you mean you want to add an extension off the back of it? 300m is a very long distance and you will definitely notice a reduction in broadband sync speed. As the poster above said, your voice...

pulling cables through plasterboard walls is not as easy as you might think it is. I think you might struggle to get from one room to another. Take a look at this image http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/upload/yuiupload/1627550211.jpg You'll hit both vertical and horizontal studs. Also...

It can be tough to find good tradesmen. I've had a bit of luck using those "wretched rated people sites", but also have asked for recommendations from people in my area on https://www.streetlife.com

you will definitely need to tank the area. Tile grout will eventually let water through and concrete is porous. Tank the whole area. My personal favorite is to use this on the floor: http://www.impeyshowers.com/luxury-wetrooms/waterproofing/impey-waterguard-tanking-kits.aspx and this on the...

laminate flooring will generally have some sort of underlay which will (even if it's been compressed) have a little 'give' in it. This could lead to leaks in the future. Ideally, shower trays should be installed on solid and stable floors.

That doesn't seem to be external grade so you will have to put in it some sort of trunking to protect it.

just use external grade cable. no need to use trunking if you don't want to. http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Cable_Index/Network_Cable_External/index.html I recommend, using ethernet wall plates in each room on an external wall and run external grade cable between them

i've never installed one but i have them in a couple of bathroom mirrors so i've seen them in action. should be easy to install

if you're wiring the tv to a plug/socket in the loft, you could either: a) use one of those remote control sockets which allow you to turn devices on/off via remote. i.e. http://www.thegreenage.co.uk/energy-saving-shop/remote-controlled-socket-x3/ b) use a plug in timer switch to isolate...

1. choose wood, get cut to the correct length for your shelves. 2. mark wall with horizontal lines where your shelves will go 3. install floating shelf brackets at (i'd guess) 50cm centers at most 4. offer up a shelf to the brackets on the wall and mark post positions on shelf 5. drill...
