I'm fitting our bathroom which has an old cast iron waste that's obviously in the wrong place! What's your thoughts on this? If I cut the cabinet, the waste is almost at the front of the unit & I'm not sure there'll be enough space to fit a pan connector. If I bring it forward slightly I'll...

The current waste is cast iron. I can't find the required dimensions on any product detail as to where the new toilet waste needs to be. The end of the white bit of pipe is about 350mm from the wall.

So the soldier course above a window has come away & needs repairing. The mortar at the sides has given up & what's left is just about holding the brickwork up. At the moment it's propped up so stop it falling out completely. My thinking is square it up then either remove the mortar at...

My bathroom mixer is getting really stiff to turn after less than a year. It's an Ikea one http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/washstands-taps/taps/ensen-wash-basin-mixer-tap-with-strainer-chrome-plated-art-60281375/ Since it's a pain to take it off, & drive 90 miles to return it, I would...

Hi, I have a towel rail that's fed from the CH but the pipes are from the floor not the wall. I want to fit a heating element but the only way I can see to do this is with an elbow like this. The trouble is, the pipes are directly under the inlet & outlet so I don't see how I can install...

I've just had some building work done which included a cloakroom toilet. The room is small, 1080x1380mm with the waste into the main drain via a rest bend in the corner at floor level (currently plugged with a socket plug). The plan is to fit the toilet mid way along the 1080mm wall but I'm...

My Indesit dishwasher trips the house shortly after the fill cycle starts. It's not the element as the water doesn't get to that level & it trips on each programme. Any ideas???

My washing machine smells of stale water & I would like to run something through it to try & clean it out. I know that soap scum builds up in the water jacket & I run a 90degC wash every so often. what can I run through it to give it a really good clean?

Can anyone help me, I need the manual for a 3-in-1 stud detector purchased from B&Q, the model is SS-1977. many thanks,

OK, here's the situation. The house was rewired years ago & the person who did it ran the cable (2 x 2.5mmT+E) in conduit on the surface of the wall (original single T+E wire still in the capping in the wall). As I don't really want to chase the new cables into the wall, can I pull the...

I have an Indesit DG6145 dishwasher that is intermittantly leaking & have checked & cleaned the door seals but the problem is still there. Last night I put it on a wash programme & it leaked, I switched it off, opened the door to see if there was any crud in the seal & shut the door again &...

Hi, I want to fit a new bathroom suite & in doing so, move the wc along the wall by about 12-24" & move the basin on to another wall. I'm Ok with the basin but is moving the wc a DIY job when the floor is concrete? Thanks
