Thanks all - looks like I've a few options I'm thinking I'll get one of these as it also includes a trap... Will the compression fit a 43mm pipe (so solvent weld type). Thanks...

Just seen these hep2O cold isolator connectors. So two of these will sort the appliance feed connections... Thanks...

Hello I'm about to have my kitchen redone and the rip out starts on Monday. As we'll be without a kitchen for 6 weeks I'm looking to use a utility area to temporarily house a dishwasher and washing machine I built the utility area and it will be fitted out as part of the new kitchen upgrade...

Thanks - CT1 it is

Hello - I have wet UFH in my house so cannot drill down through floor tiles into screed to apply fixings for new toilet. I know the toilet I removed wasn't fixed either and just held down with what looked like sealant. It was a proper bugger to remove. Needed crow-barring. So happy to go...

Thanks for the advice - it's definitely appreciated. I started routing the cable thinking I might get to the stud wall (offshoot wall on the left) and then look at pulling the panel off / routing through stud. The cable however slipped nicely behind the plasterboard and rested on the dabs at...

Thanks - mine are definitely not that. I saw that metal plate thing and did 2+2=5.

Here's another picture - not sure if it's much help.

I'll take a few when I get home tonight although not sure it will show you much more - if you step back from that picture that's just me looking up through the ceiling.

That's my thinking I don't see how it can impact the strength. But even on the video above it says different rules apply for engineered joists .. and I'm guessing it is engineered as I know the Attic Trusses are and in the picture you can see it's got that big metal plate thing on it attaching...

Cheers - decent video that. I know the regs for drilling joists - I just don't know what the regs are for my joists. I'm guessing my joists are engineered - so different rules.

Hello I'm currently looking to install 6 spots in my downstairs room - replacing an existing pendant light. My house is made with engineered attic Trusses. It's like a big bungalow with an upstairs / downstairs and loft space - although the upstairs rooms have sloped walls. I'm trying to...
