I have to alter a pipe to utility room sink hot supply that comes up from under the concrete floor of a 1950s extension. The old pipe measures 21.45mm so I assume to be old 3/4"? I need to connect in a very tight hole I've made in the concrete floor and know it will be really hard to stop the...

I have a cloakroom, (1.3m deep, 0.8m wide, 2.3m tall) and the heat calcs give a need of about 550BTU. It also has the boiler in this cloakroom wall mounted and I understand I may get about half of that heat radiated from the boiler. So all I need in the way of heat input is about 250BTU. Even...

Recently had a good electrician do some extra sockets, lights and a new consumer unit in our old house so everything is up to standard. Can't get hold of the guy for a couple of weeks and need to make provision for cabling in some stud walling I'm doing so it's ready for him. I need to know...

I fitted a new Bathstore "Mytime" close coupled toilet in the cloakroom yesterday. Despite doing it all by the book twice it still leaks from the cistern... about an eggcup full an hour. It leaks when tested with water poured into the cistern before the supply is connected. It does not...

I need to fit a timer to our immersion heater. Bought one from B&Q at the weekend but it was so poorly made I don't want it in the most flammable part of the house (airing cupboard with timber shelves and dry clothes) and will return it. Is there a "proper" quality brand in these things...

My immersion heater thermostat has failed. The heater itself tests out OK at about 20 ohms so hopefully no drain down down reqd to replace that. I dont know the length of my immersion heater but the thermostat measures 18" and the hole it goes in is 19" deep. Looking online I can't see...

Has anyone ever seen a WC pan P-connector with a boss (for boiler drain conn) anywhere else other than on the top of the P. Very few toilet pans seem to have room to get fittings onto a top boss easily. One on the rear would help me but can't find one anywhere online.

Going to have a new boiler fitted soon by a RGI as part of a utility room & cloakroom revamp. After he's finished a wall will be moved and a toilet compartment created which will include the new boiler. First to work out the new rad I'll put in the utility room at a later date I wondered...

Hello. New to posting on forum. I've read a few posts and the boiler change FAQs etc. We have a 17yr old system which is fitted with a Thorn Olympic wall mount. It was £40 when fitted and at least 5yrs old at the time. This was on advice of a BGas engineer who said it was built like a tank...
