Nope no lubricant, I’ve sorted it now, got one with a jubilee clip, I’ve put it down to either my toilet being a strange size or the connector dodgy lol

It goes in the full 37mm as per the drawing, I can’t think of any other reasons

It’s not really an old toilet, I’m sorta thinking I’ve just got a dodgy connector

Yep its a straight push back, all aligned, I’ve taken the toilet out, it’s definatly the connector not fitting tight enough, I’m sure in the past I’ve wrested just to get one on but this one is not really tight

Hi, I’ve had to move the toilet forward slightly due to panelling going behind, so I’ve brought a pan connector extension (McAlpine Rigid Straight Telescopic Toilet Socket Extension White 138mm) but it doesn’t grip well on my toilet? It pushes on with some resistance but easily slips when...

Okay thank you! Unfortunately it’s not a straight pipe from the F&E tank, it snakes around a bit! So unfortunately gunna have to get into the pipework I think I assume if I drained down the system and chucked some sludge remover in the F&E tank then filled it all up again it wouldn’t really...

Okay thanks for everyone’s comment appreciate it!, I’ve found an area where magnet sticks the pipe starts in as the outlet of the F&E tank then meets a t junction which goes into the cylinder and then maybe down to the boiler? It seems the pipe size shrinks there, I’ve attached a pic , where...

Not that I’m aware of, no signs of anything leaking Edit: we have a single hot tap that’s now slowly dripping upstairs… Okay I shall do when I’m home, I’m not too clued up with plumbing can you explain what this will do/why?

Fills direct from the cold water mains, and yep the smaller tank in the loft

Hi, just want peoples thoughts on this, I have a vented system, quite old, I have to put the hot water and heating on to get the radiators hot but I can just have the hot water on with no radiators getting hot. So the problem I have is my F&E tank overfills, it’s not ball valve letting by. It...

Cool cheers all insulation finished and sealed just gotta put the plaster board up! Thanks again

Thanks, I’ve done as you’ve suggested one slight query,don’t no if it’s a big deal or not, but the air gap is mostly 90mm between roof and insulation however there are a couple of small support beams attached to the roof 50mm wide by 40mm height, this means there’s a small area with only 40mm...

Yes it is!

Ideally I’d do that but it all looks in good nick, I’ve had a look around I can’t see any obvious vents but I assume they will be there? The roof covers multiple rooms and I’m just changing one ceiling so I can’t see all the way around the roof, as long as I leave an air gap of like 50mm should...

Hi, got a flat roof which had polystyrene tiles which I’ve just removed, they were attached to plaster board, I’ve noticed there’s no insulation above plaster board, I’m thinking of removing the plaster board and putting rock wool or some sort of insulation between the joists then putting up new...
