Hi I've got some speedfit under my sink, there's this area where the pipe doesn't look straight into the fittings. I think it's partly because the pipe coming in from the bottom is bent at an angle, and part because the hole in the cabinet is slightly out. The tee goes out to a washing machine...

Thanks, I am unfamiliar with polymer plastics, where is best to buy them please? Or what brand should I look for?

Also is there any kind of sealant I can use one's that are just about ok but have been wet for some time?

I have rental properties and tenants often don't notice or care about leaks under the sink until it becomes a major problem. I am thinking of lining the inside of the cabinets with something like Fablon or possibly vinyl flooring, which would be more durable. Any tips please ?

Thanks John I'll check

Thanks for your help John. Of that's the case is the answer to block up the outer vent?

Sorry its a crap picture with the flash, but it looks like it ends and doesn't go anywhere

Also there's a strange looking pipe in the loft above, any ideas what they may have been for please?

Hi, I am getting black could in a bedroom. It has a vent either side of the window outside but they don't go through to the inner wall. The neighbours have these vents too. Is it possible they are venting the loft? Can they be causing cold points hence condensation and mould? Thanks

Actually that sounds easy enough even though I would need to buy a blowtorch. What do the pros on here think about that please?

Thanks for your replies, I don't have a blowtorch and would prefer to use compression fittings, how can' I do that please?

Ideally, I prefer to use compression fittings, but not sure if the pipe will be long enough to meet the fitting once I cut out the soldered part. I suppose I can add another joint to make the pipe a bit longer. What's the best please?

Hi, could anyone please tell me what this is please? It's behind the toilet, if I hold the top part I can push it down. Does it need a maintenance? Thanks
