If you're new to the game I advise carrying plasters for those innevitable cuts you're going to get and a pair of tweezers for removing splinters. They've come in handy for a good few times and they don't take up any space. Oh and a telescopic magnet (size of a pen) for reaching those tiny...

Did you call the engineer out for this same problem? If you did then what parts did he replace?

If you go to a B&Q you can play with the fittings there and I'm sure the resident plumber would be glad to help. Use push-fit for the stand pipe if you like but I'd recommend solvent weld in any inaccessable areas.

I don't, but why do you need to know?

Follow these steps.....http://www.brettmartin.com/building/soilwaste/technical_guide/installation/solventcementjointing.aspx Still not sure? Post a couple of pics. EDIT: Is the boxing in the dining room plywood or something similar which you could widen?

Sounds like it's pumping over and the usual solution is to extend the open safety vent like you said but it could also be the pump speed is too high.

Use a stand pipe and do it the good old fashioned way leading to the drain outside, if you have no drain out there connect the waste hose to the sink trap. Failing that post a photo.

It looks to me like it was put together out of odd bits found round the site when the house was being built. Botch job? Absolutely! Is that a party wall? If not I'd take it out through the wall instead of the roof.

Interested if any such showers exist.

Right I've got you now - you're a pain in the arse you know that don't you? I'm interested myself now.

Have I missed something here? Do you want an electric shower where you just have the dial on the wall or do you also want it to be wireless in some way? Forgive me but the last few comments have totally thrown me.

You seem concerned about how tight you should have the nut - did you by any chance over tighten it first?

If you mean just having the 'knob' on the wall then check out MIRA. http://www.mirashowers.co.uk/home.htm EDIT: Never mind, just realised you want electric. :roll:

Just out of interest - do you have a sliding door on there because it looks as though it could well scrape against the front of the pan?

Call me what you like but my space ship needs servicing anyway so I'll have to stick to plumbing and gas fittting until it's sorted.

I was thinking something like that would be a good idea but didn't think they existed, do you have a link or a pic?

This is a swan neck connector (or space saver) as mentioned before but from what I can see in you pic it probably won't make a difference to how far forward your new pan will be. In other words you don't have a choice unless you're prepared to go back on your word and dig out the floor.

Mostly fitting washing machines, hobs and capping off gas fires lately, really quick and simple jobs. I'd love to just get a full days work in to be honest and I'm considering doing an electricians course because I have so much time on my hands.
