    Half inch lead pipe in wall either side of fireplace?

    I could call a plumber but he still won't be able to see the route of the piping as we can't take up the floor. No choice but to leave it as is it would seem.

    Half inch lead pipe in wall either side of fireplace?

    I have a 3cm wide large copper pipe coming into the flat for the gas mains from the communal meters in the basement. I'm first floor. I can't look under the floor as it all glued down parquet flooring. Not ideal I know ....but if I switch off the mains gas at the copper pipe and saw through the...

    Half inch lead pipe in wall either side of fireplace?

    Ahhh, you mean old victorian gas lighting pipes. Sorry my mistake. So how can I test to see if they have gas flowing? How would the meter help? The hot water and central heating is gas but I doubt they've connected the old pipes.

    Tiler charging extra at end of job diamond pattern tiling??

    Is that the £520 extra for the diamond pattern work you mean? I spoke to the project manager about that. It was £52 he meant. The "0" was a mis type. Seems cheap for an extra week of work, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

    Tiler charging extra at end of job diamond pattern tiling??

    The idea is to save the dado. They say it'll come off. If it doesn't or comes off in bits then yes then obviously it will have to be replaced at their cost. The diamond area to be retiled is 3 metres squared. I have plenty of excess tiles due to the fact they measured up and told me I needed...
