Hi, I have made a step from the lounge french window to the patio of breeze block and concrete. Very adequate for the job, but we thought it would look prettier if we put some red brick pavers on top. My question is, what's best to fix them to the concrete step? Mix up some sand and...

Had this installed about 2 years ago. Sorry there is no model number on the shower or the instructions, but it's a pumped stored hot water type shower. It's been working fine all the time until yesterday. What happens is that the shower runs normally for 3-4 minutes then the water stops. The...

Hi, This mixer is out of warranty, and has died. I'd like to have a quick look inside before I dump it, but can't see any way of opening it up. Nor can I find any info online. Does anybody know how to do thie please? Thanks

Hi, A mate of mine has a problem with one of these boilers. The pilot light won't come on. I understand the guy servicing it has changed the ignitor, the PCB and the air pressure switch. Pilot light still won't ignite. I gather the top two lights are on, but the bottom one isn't and pressing...

Hi, A mate of mine has one of these boilers, and the pilot light won't light. Not sure of the exact model number of the boiler as he only texted me GCN 41-111-06. I understand the plumber he called changed the ignitor and the PCB and ran away when he couldn't get it to light still. Does...

I think the valve (Honeywell V4073A) in our heating system is knackered. The lever on the head gets stuck, and having taken the head off, I find that the valve has only about 10 degrees of turn. Would this indicate the thing has had it? It's been in for probably a decade (maybe more). Also...

Hi, before I ask the question, just to let you know I am a qualified electrician and am only doing the electrics part of the system. My boiler is Myson floor standing lump-of-cast-iron boiler approx 20 years old. Model number is Myson Marathon 800b. It originally had an internal mechanical...

Hi, Started the bathroom back in september, turning off the supply from the cold storage tank to the shower. It's got an isolator valve and a stop cock in the pipe from the bottom of the tank to the shower. Get to turn it on tonight having fitted a new shower and there isn't any cold water...

Hi, Going to start the bathroom tiling next week, and looking for input on the pattern tiles would be best laid. Bath is standard length 1700mm. Tiles are large, oblong ones. Wife wants me to make a brickwork pattern with them. Above the bath, and shower end of the bath it will be tiled up to...

Just getting the bits to fit out our new bathroom. Wife's decided to get a mono block mixer for the bath that is for sinks. I think the difference between the two versions was the exit spout was bigger on the bath version. She liked the smaller spout. Just wondering if there is a difference...

Hi, Our new bath was delivered yesterday - a big P shaped shower bath. It's supported by 2 thin metal struts with adjustable legs. What I was wondering is that due to the fact the water alone will be quite heavy, plus as it's a shower bath that will have people standing up in it, would it...

Bit of a no-brainer this one, but I'd like to know if I'm right or wrong:- New bath being fitted soon. It's a shower bath that is quite big, and will take more water to fill than a standard bath. At the moment, the cold feed into the bathroom is from the storage tank in the roof and runs to a...

Hi, I am in the process of renewing our bathroom. The hot/cold goes to the sink via plastic piping to an eaves access area behind the bathroom. I'm changing the shower for a shower bath. The existing power shower is not being touched, but I need to supply hot/cold to the bath and sink. I...

Hi all, I've read the sticky on this, but wanted to ask some questions. Our bathroom floor is chipboard, but has a deffinite slant. Possibly 15mm over 1.7M. I'm renewing the entire bathroom so want to take this opportunity to level the floor. Firstly, I understand I have to nail plywood...
