Thanks for your advice chaps. I hadn't considered taking some of the wall out and connecting further back. I'll see if it's a few easy bricks and if not, you're right - do it properly.

Thank you for the reply. I've just had a look at the WC-CON7A. It looks like it would level it out but I'd still be at the wrong height. Do you think I could get a flexi something in there? How much flex do they have?

Hello, I'm trying to find the right way of connecting up the Gerberit wall hung toilet frame to the existing soil pipe. The existing 110mm soil pipe is low by about 100mm (it needs to connect to the frame where the yellow circle is) and it's angled up by 15-20 degrees. I wondered about using a...

Thanks for the advice. I’ll do the same for the walls but hopefully the floor will be fine. I asked them to seal around the edges when they put it in, I just didn’t think to ask about the ceiling and walls. Building control signed everything off for me too. It’s a shame as it’s an easy step for...

Hi Splamone, I have the same issue with cold air coming in behind the plasterboard. How far apart did you drill your holes for the expanding foam? And did you have any issues doing it? I was concerned about forcing the boards off of the wall but as you said in a previous post there should be...

Hello UFH people. I am about to install a wet underfloor heating system 25mm 8:1 screed over celotex between joists @ 400 centers. Seems to be the best fit for our project. I need to get the pipe work in soon so that the floor can go down. And then I’ll do a bit more research on manifolds/...

Hello UFH people. I too am about to install a wet system. 25mm 8:1 screed over celotex between joists. I haven’t had time to research various brands of pump/manifold yet but in the mean time I need to get the pipe work in so the floor can go down. What pipe should I be getting to give me...

Thanks everyone for your help, looks like 110mm pipe is the best option so we'll get some of that put in. Cheers!

Hello, I’m having an extension built on my house and whilst the footings are exposed would like to run utilities to the detached garage 2m away in case of a future garage conversion. I’ll leave them unconnected at both ends so essentially empty pipes and cables running underground from under...

I’ll get some decent full bore compression fittings for bath, basin and toilet. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the quick reply Blup. The mains pressure is decent, there are no pumps involved and the hot water comes from a combi boiler. JGSpeed fit say "The through bore in a 15SVP is 9.5mm". The valves will be behind the bath panel so no problems with access. Can I use compression fittings on...

Hello, I'm using JG Speed fit in my bathroom, will there be a noticeable drop in pressure if I use their isolation valves on the shower etc? Their valves aren't full bore according to screwfix. If so what would anyone recommend? Thanks in advance.

Thank you both for your help. So I'll have all of my h&c connections just inside of the bath panel for access and run individual pipes to the toilet basin and mixer. I'll have a look into an external soil manifold but if it's ok to go with one waste pipe that would be great. There isn't much...

Hello, I'm renovating our bathroom and as it's the first time I've done this I thought I'd ask you guys if I'm on the right lines. I've uploaded some images. We're having an extension built and the new roof covers where the old waste exits into a rainwater hopper. The rainwater will be...

Thanks dilalio. You're right the hot water didn't last long. I've stop-ended the offending pipes and re-filled the system. Seems to be ok now, the builder can do a permanent fix tomorrow. Thanks for the quick reply!
