I haven't told building control about any of the work I have done on my house....

I installed one in an upstairs loo. I needed the marcerator as the loo is in the middle of the house so it would be very hard to plumb the soil pipe in (no verticle pumping). I have a sanitop which the sink plugs in to aswell. The sanitop works fine, it's quite noisy (abit like a full blender...

If you have to use a marcerator I would only use it on the toilet. Use conventional plumbing for the sinks, shower and bath if possible. The nose it makes is short and predictable with a loo but long and noisy if you're having a shower etc...

I am installing a cloakroom suite and unfortinately will have to use a saniflo. The problem is that the saniflo will be on the other side of the room from the basin. The only downhill route to the saniflo is aroung the wall and behind the toilet, this will not look so good. Could the waste go...

Hi, I am planning on installing a toilet upstairs on the 1st floor. An ideal position is in the center of the house. The problem is the distance to the existing soil pipe which can be split in to 2 stages: About 3 meters to the back of the house with about 1 foot drop available. Once...

Does a radial circuit have to be one straingt line or can it be split? Ie. cable comes from consumer unit in to a junction box then two cables feed different sockets in the room.

Ok. the radial circuit has been fine and I have had no problems with it tripping out etc... When I put in the additional switch for my new boiler I also added a single socket and a double socket. So running from my 16amp radial circuit is: 4 double sockets, 2 single sockets and a 13amp...

I recently added a fused switch and a double socket in my utility room as I am having a new boiler fitted there. I tapped in to the kitchen ring easily locating the ring going to the far end of my kitchen where a double socket is located. It is now clear that it was not a ring main but a...

Since the bath is on floorboards it would be really easy to take a bit out. Check that the joists are not in the way if not remove the bit of floorboard between the joists then you could cut around it for the waste to fit and put the floorboard section back. Good luck

I used existing cables for the job. Rather than having the cable coming out of the floor boards I put a box in the wall and attached the cable to a new 'sat' face plate. this is where the connection seems to have broken, as when I connect my modem to the new socket I don't get any signal.

Just checking: I have installed a new radiator about 2 meters away from my radiator circuit. I have tapped in to both the 'out and return' pipes and connected them to each end of the radiator. Is this right or should both ends of the radiator be connected to the same pipe? does it matter what...

My existing TW cable was long enough to reach the new location and I'm in the process of doing up my new lounge. I'll get TW to sort it out if I can't get it working again. Do you think the'll charge me???

I have extended my telewest cable to a new room, cut the cable connector off and wired it in to a digital coaxial outlet. I have used a new cable to join my broadband modem to the new socket - it dosen't work. The cable worked before I cut off the connector. The problem seems to be the new...

I'm not sure what ceiling joists are??? I have lifted up some floorboards above my wall to the other over a closer inspection, all the joists run inline with the wall right from one end of my house to the other overlapping with new ones above the stairs. (my stairs run at right angles to this...

I want to install an upsatairs toilet on the landing. It's about 4 horizontal meters from the outside wall where there is an available sewage pipe. Are there any alternatives to a pump waste system???

I am planning on removing an internal brick wall between my corridor and lounge on the ground floor. There is no wall above this one and all the joists above run in the direction of the wall. Is it possible to remove this wall without ant side affects? Shall I get a structural a structural...

BigJon, A six way extention would work as it is going to end up in a built in cupboard for a tv unit. Do i simply replace the double socket for a six way one???

Big John, I haven't looked how much excess cable I have but the sockets are going next to each other so I'm sure that one of the cables will reach the new socket. If not is it possible to extend the cable will a 30amp connecting block be ok? John D, I think I understand what you mean but I...

I need to add 2 double sockets to an area where there is already one double socket on a ring main. Can I - take one set of wires out of existing socket, replace with a new wire to a new socket link this new socket to another new socket and then join the second new socket to the origional wires...
