Thanks for the link BAS, I guess we're screwed since there isn't enough space to put anything like described in the regs! :? Feel a bit let down that our electrician didn't point this out! :evil:

Since we've already purchased the lights, would a fire hood help at all? (I read these can be installed through the cut hole so no problem there). Would this prevent some of the condensation and/or drafts? I know I can't put insulation over the top of these but maybe it might help a little...

Thanks for the info and link, I guess I'll go up in to the loft periodically at first to check on it, then experiment with solutions (if any exist?!) if condensation does present itself. Really wish my electrician had warned me in the first place :( All he said was to keep insulation away...

STI: Thanks for the link, very much appreciated :D Ban-all-sheds & flameport: Bathroom is a good size and with a sloped roof up one side we are restricted on area in which to put them, therefore we're installing directionals in a line so we can 'point' them to areas under the slope (not to...

Hi there, We've bought 5 halogen spots for our bathroom, label on side reads G5.3 12VOLT 50W MAX. I've been searching online for the bulbs for these but all seem to say they are not DIMMABLE, and my electrician has already installed my dimmer! :( They also say that they are dichroic...

I know they are a pain, but we're installing a macerator. We need to increase the distance between spigot and SaniTop with a short extension (I'll not go into why, just trust me! :roll: ). I contacted Saniflo for advice, who told me that 'Multikwik' have extensions which will connect to both...

Thanks so much for all of the info, I really appreciate your time :) I'm glad to hear that a 1-1/4" waste may be suitable but I'm still a little concerned that the basin manufacturer actually make 1-1/2" waste kits with 1-3/4" basin spacers (but I do not want to pay the £23 shipping charge...

Hi there, I'm searching for a square sprung waste for my new glass vessel sink, all 'standard' wastes are described as 1 1/4" across, but my basin instructions stipulate a 1 1/2" waste is required. I've seen them on an American website but are they available here? Same problem with the...

Hi guys, Are MX 'Resinlite' (Polymer resin) shower trays as sturdy as stone resin? My dad recommended stone resin for strength but Resinlite sound easier to install? Also, the diagrams for Resinlite installation show a plywood base topped with cement; but I've been told it's better to...

You're not wrong there dextrous! I felt like I'd been dropped in a vat of piranha! :shock:

Thanks Tamz, that's exactly what I needed to know! :D And thanks matt1e for sorting Nige F out haha :wink:

Hi there, can I suggest you place the 'Select a forum' drop down box in a position before the 'Submit' button? This would prevent a lot of posts being put in the wrong place. The current drop down box in the far right bottom corner goes unnoticed since it is after the 'Submit' button. It...

I just clicked 'new topic' and didn't see the choice of forum drop down way off in the bottom right corner (after the submit button). Bad design, much like my bottle trap. Speaking of which, can anybody help please?

Oh blimey, sorry about that I'm new!! :s

Hi all, my good old dad is plumbing my new bathroom for me. It's the first time either of us have ever used a bottle trap but it seemed straight forward. I received my basin, waste & bottle trap as one kit, but the waste doesn't fit into the plastic sleeve in the bottle trap? Should we try...
