Where can i get some heavy duty adjustable bath legs from? There's these but how would I screw them into the ply, I would have expected some kind of metal plate. https://www.bathroomspareparts.co.uk/armitage-shanks-ascania-leg-set---replacement-m10-bath-foot-pack-eeev01267-64627-p.asp Or would...

I was thinking the same. Remove the centre jack and slip some 18mm ply under the crack and support that with some props.

sliding the entire chipboard out will be too difficult as it is screwed into by the metal support frame/jacks front and back, plus it has a cutout hole for the drain so i'd have to undo all of that. It be easier to just remove that centre screw jack and slide another piece of 18 mm ply under the...

It's an old bathtub so most probably chipboard as you've suggested.

i have a bath tub which sits on a 18mm osb board supported by those metal screw jacks on 4 corners and one in the middle. However the board has cracked in the middle - the crack is running across the entire width of the bath side-to-side, so the failure is like a hinge in the middle. The crack...

Has anyone used these forge fix Aercrete Block Anchor Fixings? How do you use them. Do you just hammer them into the thermalite blocks or should i drill a pilot hole first before hammering in? https://www.forgefix.co.uk/Products/aircrete-anchors/10ABA650

Hi, I have a joist end on the ground floor which has rotted. Joist end is located in the understair closet. Both the joist end and the wooden packer which sit inside the joist pocket have rotted. I suspect its because the kitchen on the other side of this wall has a concrete floor with a...

No they are not dot and dab, they've been plastered over.

Hi, I have thermalite wall and need to hang a large kitchen wall unit. Tried the brown plugs but they don't hold. What's the best fixings to mount a kitchen wall unit to a thermalite wall? Some people suggest just screw directly into the wall without any plugs.

Its washing machine waste pipe that does go through a cavity wall to the outside into a drain. THe kitchen sink waste and rainwater downpipe all drain into the same drain outside which is located roughly where the wastepipe in the pic above exits. I've just got hold of some leak tracing dye...

I have just purchased 1930s semi and have started replacing the kitchen units. The kitchen has a concrete floor with a bitumen layer on top. Upon removing the cabinet under the sink I've noticed a section of the concrete slab is missing. The hardcore/ground where the concrete is missing...

The gulley looks new to me. must have been fitted when the previous owner block paved the drive. I've attached a wider shot of the gulley and when the kitchen tap is running. You can the the water is shooting between the lip of the gulley top and the pipe so as you say water is perhaps going...

I have kitchen with a concrete floor that is covered in a bitumen layer. Under the sink where I've dug out the concrete which was cracked you can see the ground is really moist and wet - look at the first course of bricks next to the dug out concrete, they are sopping wet. The gully into which...

Its a 1925 built semi. Bathtub and bathroom sink waste goes into hopper which is on the second to last down pipe from the left. The soil stack is on it's own with no other pipes connected to it. The driveway is fully blockpaved so no visisble signs of manhole unbless i try getting them all out...
