Thank you. I thought it might be as you say but I wanted to be sure. Not being a plumber, it's too easy to think you know what you're doing and then find you don't! I appreciate your help. Have a great New Year! :)

Hi there, Currently, my washing machine water drains into an ordinary, straightforward upstand. I want to drain a condenser tumble dryer into that same pipe. I've seen 'double spigot' parts but can't quite see how to fix this to the upstand pipe. Any help would be greatly...

correct, freddymercurystwin!

Hmm. Bearing in mind that the same architect was used for the 2 extensions at the same property, within a similar distance from the sewer, I would have expected that the needs for permission would have been the same. For one extension, all the paperwork is there. For the other it is not. I...

That's interesting - but we did need to get such permissions for the other extension - both are similar distances from the sewer - just at different ends of the house.

ummm, haven't got a clue. We moved in in 2005, haven't been told anything about the sewers at all. The sewer is only connected to one other house, a neighbour, if that helps.

yes

well, we're selling the house. We had 2 extensions done both drawn up by same architect. We have the correct paperwork for one extension but not for the second. The water authority can't find evidence of the paperwork for this particular extension, but it was a large local building firm who...

Or is it the architect involved?

Hi there I wonder if you can help? When planning an extension near to an existing sewer, whose responsibility is it to actually apply for and get the necessary permission from the water company? Should it be the building contractor or the owner?

Thanks very much. Your advice is really appreciated. I will try to get a plastic coated hose tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks again!

Gosh, that's a bit of a nuisance! If I try to measure the internal diameter of the actual shower head, that, I would think give me a clue at least. Would you agree?

ah, thank you. Do you know if there are more than 2 different possible diameters? The original hose was collected by the bin men a few days ago! If I take off the one I've just put on, would it be fairly obvious that I would just need to get 'the other' size?

Hello I'm new to this so would be grateful for any help offered. Old shower hose was leaking badly, so I replaced it with a new one; a 'universal' one bought from a national diy store. No more leaks so pleased with that but the pressure at the shower head is now ridiculously low. I don't...
