Thanks for the suggestion. Not sure the silicon option will look very good but did consider that myself too. When you say use a former, have you a link to what you mean?

We have bought a stone basin for the bathroom and also bought a standard mushroom unslotted basin waste. The problem that we have is the recess cut out for the waste flange in the basin is large (measuring 70mm diameter) and therefore the waste has a large gap around it. Easier to see in the...

There are a number of 1 star reviews that don't give me confidence, though they could be down to incorrect installation.

Breeze block is soft to drill but wall plugs do grab fine. I installed the marmox boards with adhesive and mechanically fixed them with screws, washers and wall plugs and had no failures (no spinning wall plugs). Always drill slightly smaller than wall plug when drilling into breeze block...

Yes have seen them but they primarily for fixing to plasterboard. Have you used them in a different application like this then?

I have a Column radiator to fit to a porcelain tiled bathroom wall. The wall is breeze block covered (by solid bed of tile adhesive) with 12mm marmox board. The column radiator has four brackets with two fixing holes on each and come with screws and wall plugs. My questions are around the...

You've made your point numerous times now. Noted. Thank you. Thank you again to OwainDIYer.

The DIYer didn't need to tell me this, as this DIYer already knew. So, yes it's worth highlighting, however despite the fact, I knew the stance and still wanted to fit it myself. For the competent DIYer there are now too many prohibitive rules in place for minor jobs. I am more than capable of...

Many thanks for your help!! All now working!!

Thanks again for your reply! The manual link is slightly different to the printer manual I have but look similar. I've photo'd the relevant pages or of my manual below. I'd appreciate any confirmation you can give before I go wiring anything up. Many thanks!!

Thanks for your reply!! Only you've confused me even more now lol What do you mean by the variant I have? It's a NEST third generation thermostat and a Vaillant Ecotec Pro 30. It's the NEST heatlink I need to connect.

All, I know there are a lot of threads on this forum, on a number of other forums and also videos on YouTube but I have found little information on this specific install and the information I have found has been confusing and sometimes contradictory. I have just had a Vaillant Ecotec Pro 30...

Great! Thanks for the advice!!

As an update I took the the joints apart and left the worktops unfixed in situ. I used a couple of straight lengths of wood as battons and placed these across either the bowed or cupped areas. Another offcut of worktop on the top and some more weight on top of that. Gradually over the last...

Thanks for all your constructive help.

As detailed in the original post they were stored in the house. They were in the garage for about a month and the last 11 months they have been inside. So they are not from a damp environment.

We have a 40mm solid wood beech worktop fitted in our U-shaped kitchen. Two lengths and a third breakfast bar. The kitchen and wooden worktops were bought and delivered a year ago. Due to various reasons (including my own slow DIY skills) we have only now got to the point of fitting the...

Make Ford Model Fiesta Zetec Engine size/Type 1.4 Year 2007 Mileage 56,000 I have been having trouble with the starter motor sticking in the last few weeks. Last Thursday it stuck and on the third attempt to start the vehicle there was a large bang and a considerable amount of smoke that...

Thanks for the comments ChrisR. I did silicone the tray to the wall first, then I tiled down to the tray and then I have siliconed again (tile to tray). The manufacturer's instructions, I quote, say: Ensure tray is correctly levelled & that tray / wall (tile) joints are sealed & cured...

Interesting, but I was actually following the manufacturer's instructions that clearly states that the tiles to tray MUST be siliconed prior to fitment of the enclosure. So not my cock up! Incidentally I have never heard of sealing the tiles to the tray after the enclosure is fitted. I have...
