    Mira Elite ST - Anyone got one ?

    If so, are they noisy (ie the internal pump) - what kind of noise ? I have finally installed mine and I can only imagine it's faulty as it is SO loud and even whines a little !

    I can't believe it !! My 'perfect'ly tiled shower has been checker boarded whilst grouting !! All my white tiles were white - now some are bluey white. Anyone else had this problem ??

    Mira Elite ST Shower - Rear Feed ?

    Does anyone know why Mira state that a 'rear' entry cold feed requires a soldered elbow to the 'swivel' connector in the shower housing ? (effectively making it 'top' or 'bottom' fed) It would make my life so much easier to just be able to connect it straight to my (tank fed) cold feed coming...

    Concreting over a waste pipe, future access ?

    I have a shower waste pipe that I don't want to 'hard' cement into the floor - what do you normally do here ? Do you cover it in sand, and lay a thin concrete bed on top - if so, what kind of thickness ? The plastic pipe lays in a gully beside a wall and is six inches deep and comes away from...

    Earth Cabling by Meter + CU: Regs + Size ?

    I am putting up a modern consumer unit (to replace one of four 'fuse boxes') and have the elec board coming to disconnect while I move tails across. Also connected to the meter are other existing 'fuse boxes' which supply quite separate circuits in the house. The earth cable is around 4mm in...

    Can you put floor levelling compound on top of itself ?!

    Am trying to level a recess which has a dip on one corner/side. I put down a 3mm bed but it is still out by 3mm (much better elsewehere now though !). So, can I put levelling compound on top of itself ? (this is Wickes basic product - not the latex) Thanks

    Corder Pull Switches In Toilet/Shower room

    I have a 45amp electric shower switch and a light switch, and I also want a fan switch. If they are all corded pull switches, have they got to be so many feet away from the shower area ? 2m x 1m room - 1m x 760mm is shower area.

    8" x 2" Floor joist - safe to cut a 4" diamet

    I am installing a shower fan duct in a basement that will run through the ceiling above and ideally I need to go across two consecutive floor joists of 8" x 2" with a 4" hole - my instinct says this is unwise ! Should I do this or find an alternative route ? Thanks

    Do I need coarse aggregate in my mix ?

    I have a four inch concrete 'slab' to lay on top of a DPM sheet (that sits on 10mm of sand). My local Wickes sells 'Ballast' (an all-in aggregate) - will this give my floor the strength it needs at a ratio of 1:4 ? They don't sell a coarse aggregate. The floor has to support a Mira...
