Hi everyone.. 1) Can someone please identify the fill valve in the photo? 2) Anyone know where I can get it from or are they now obsolete? The problem I'm having with it is that the water no longer stops when the water reaches the desired level and keeps flowing even when the arm...

Thank you all for your help. I installed the Mira Sprint last night using a flexible tap connector hose and the hose fitted perfectly without any kinks. The upward part (that connects to the shower) of the existing copper pipe was too short anyway so the flexible hose was perfect. I just...

Thank you all for your help. Got a plumber to check everything and he said the shower units faulty as the flow and pressure is fine and the power going into the shower unit is fine so I took it back to Wickes for a refund. Planning to get a Mira Sprint as a replacement but I have to over come...

Hi. I have had to replace my electric shower with a new one and the water inlet is on the opposite side to the old one. If I align the new shower with the water supply then there is not enough room for the shower unit. I was thinking that I could use a flexible tap connector to bridge the...

Hello I recently had an old electric shower replaced with a new one and am having problems. The shower runs hot for a couple of minutes before you hear a click within the shower and then the water becomes cold. This happens after about 5 minutes and I have to turn the shower off and wait a...

£52 for a replacement? :shock: Might as well replace the whole cistern with that amount! I guess I will have to replace the valve with a different type that is available. Do all flush valves come in standard sizes? Any ideas as to which flush valves can replace the Pacific type? Thanks

I didnt see him put any insulation between the wall and the screed. the only thing between the walls and the screed is the plastic dpc membrane which comes up from the ground and goes up between the skirting board and the wall and then goes in between the bricks to the outside of the wall...

The builder decided to put some of the radiator pipes beneath the floor and one of the joints started to leak (in the hallway ) so he had to dig up part of the floor again and pipes were atleast 10cm below the surface plus he used the same mixture beneath the pipes before he did the pipework...

I recall that he put some concrete (I'm assuming) beneath followed by the dpc plastic sheets, then some large polystyrene slabs (insulation) and then something other mixture made up of large amounts of sand and cement with a smooth layer on top (screed?). I'm not sure how deep the layer above...

Hi I have recently had a builder replace a wooden floor with a concrete one on the ground floor of my house. The builder used plastic dpc membrane sheets for damp proofing. He also removed a row of bricks around the outside/inside of the house just above the finished floor and and overlapped...
