Hello, please help. I have had a builder/electrician redo my home/kitchen. They have finished, and I am now going to install a kitchen. However, something seems incorrect: Challenge is that I had an issue with the builder, and though I'm on good terms with the electrician, I want...

Hello, I am planning on having an integrated washing machine (without dryer) in my kitchen next to the dishwasher. The electrician has put the cable etc, during a full scale refurb, and now, months later, we are going to install the kitchen. I looked on the wall where the units will go...

HI, Thanks for the message on earlier post. Here's a modified question: On my Axios UnderFloor heating manifold, if I close down each of the zone valves, but call for heat via the thermostats, after a few minutes, the actuators open, and hot water from boiler comes to manifold, as well...

hello, Ok, revised question: Situation:2 Axios manifolds for underfloor heating and 5 radiators. Problem: My plumber turned out to be a deadbeat, which is so disappointing as I foolishly paid in advance, etc. Anyway (lesson learned), he filled up the manifolds by way of the boiler...

Hello: I have two axios manifolds. On one, I can see that water is sitting in the balancing valves (there are about 10 of them, which look like glass test tubes, sitting on red plastic rings. Of the 10, 2 do not have water visible inside them, while others have water at different levels...

Hi, So, I already understand that venting is usually common for toilets, but here's my question: Situation: A concealed Geberit wall mounted cistern with the waste travelling 1 metre to the outside wall (this is accessible as it's boxed in by a built in bath space) and then on the exterior...

Hi, Could I get feedback from a plumber please? Issue: When I flush my toilet, there is gurgling in the shower drain of the same bathroom (maybe even the sink, but it's visible in the shower area). I read already that this is caused by poor/lack of venting. AND: When i pour water into...

Hello, I am surprised that I could not find this in the wiki... I have a high ceiling, 3.2m in my bathroom. I have 2 questions: 1. I found a fitting that said it's IP44 and for zone 2, however, it can be used for zone 1 if there is a 30maRCD thingy installed. Is this correct? For...

Hello, I have to replace all of my doors in my flat: 3 external doors (external to flat, but opens to common area) and another 4 internal doors. All of the previous doors did not pass fire safety, and none where original sadly. They were all rather cheap, actually. Anyway, I came across...

Hello, I'm asking this here b/c it's about putting down the copper plumbing in a bathroom, and the timber joists of my floor. Is there a rule of thumb around how one is supposed to lay down the pipes? Do you just cut out a notch of the joist at the top, or are you supposed to go through...

Hello, I'm new to this site, but impressed with the dialogue. Super. Question: I am renovating, and am replacing my condensing boiler. I have employed a 'gas safe' plumber, who is taking care of it all. I hired him b/c I understood that he a. follows the necessary procedures b. if he...

Hello, Does anyone know a manufacturer who can custom make the following item? I would prefer ready made, but I only have 50cm maximum in width to work with, for a very small guest shower room. I just can't find a narrow one anywhere, and prefer this over a porcelain/ceramic basin only...

Another Fireplace / Gas question: So, as per another post, I have learned that you can not have a gas appliance in a bedroom. I can only presume (after googling and trying to read the gas safe site) that I can not have a gas fire in my bedroom fireplace, as it's not a 'sealed' unit, but open...
