Many thanks for your help

Hi, I'm eager to get rid of this toilet and sink and noticed that a certain popular retailer has a good deal on a toilet and and sink at the moment but do you think it would be relatively easy for a plumber to replace the sink and toilet with a close coupled toilet and pedestal sink? The...

Hi Nick, I apologise that I didn't get back to you about that photo. The council were not being very helpful. I decided to remove all the tiles off the wall but even though I thought I was doing a good job I managed to pull off the plaster in some places, the worst it took a chunk out and...
