Hi Tony, You are right a bit of a leak wouldnt be disastrous, but as I have to pipe it up and install some drainage system as the machines arent next to each other (I should of mentioned this earlier) I would rather do the works required within reason to reduce the risk. I cant see the...

Thanks for that Hugh. I understand about the minimum hieghts of the stand pipe for the washing machine drain, although where the run goes there would be a low point after the trap which would create the scale water issue you refer to hence I dont think going to a spigot on the sink trap is...

Thanks Hugh, Due to all the connections to the soil stack being taken and limited space to attach a boss or extend the stack, I am limited as regards putting in an additional run. Regarding the sink trap method, I would need to change the trap to a one with a spigot if i went down that...

They are the lines I am thinking, although I will have to look at the associated costs and go from there. Yeah RCD wise that was probably a misunderstanding in my behalf of what he mentioned to me. I will speak to him again and double checks proposed loads etc. to ensure everything is...

Thanks for the advice. I understand there is no hard and fast answer, and their isn't anything wrong with the theory behind his original thoughts. he does know there are comms ducting going in and he is well aware of what I would probably do if one shed was an office, so if there is no major...

I have no issues with the electrician, he has done many jobs for me before, but he is on holiday for the next week, so I cant ask him anything else. I may not, as you mention, have given him the full story, so was hoping someone may be able to assist with some technical knowhow, so I can go...

Hi all, I am new to the forum, just looking to get some advice on a job I am doing. I am of a electronics background so forgive me if I get confused regarding anything above 24v! I have a decent knowledge of electrics although I am not up to date with the regs in anyway hence my visit to this...
