Thanks for the suggestion. Not sure the silicon option will look very good but did consider that myself too. When you say use a former, have you a link to what you mean?

We have bought a stone basin for the bathroom and also bought a standard mushroom unslotted basin waste. The problem that we have is the recess cut out for the waste flange in the basin is large (measuring 70mm diameter) and therefore the waste has a large gap around it. Easier to see in the...

There are a number of 1 star reviews that don't give me confidence, though they could be down to incorrect installation.

Breeze block is soft to drill but wall plugs do grab fine. I installed the marmox boards with adhesive and mechanically fixed them with screws, washers and wall plugs and had no failures (no spinning wall plugs). Always drill slightly smaller than wall plug when drilling into breeze block...

Yes have seen them but they primarily for fixing to plasterboard. Have you used them in a different application like this then?

I have a Column radiator to fit to a porcelain tiled bathroom wall. The wall is breeze block covered (by solid bed of tile adhesive) with 12mm marmox board. The column radiator has four brackets with two fixing holes on each and come with screws and wall plugs. My questions are around the...

You've made your point numerous times now. Noted. Thank you. Thank you again to OwainDIYer.

Many thanks for your help!! All now working!!

Thanks for your reply!! Only you've confused me even more now lol What do you mean by the variant I have? It's a NEST third generation thermostat and a Vaillant Ecotec Pro 30. It's the NEST heatlink I need to connect.

All, I know there are a lot of threads on this forum, on a number of other forums and also videos on YouTube but I have found little information on this specific install and the information I have found has been confusing and sometimes contradictory. I have just had a Vaillant Ecotec Pro 30...

Great! Thanks for the advice!!

As an update I took the the joints apart and left the worktops unfixed in situ. I used a couple of straight lengths of wood as battons and placed these across either the bowed or cupped areas. Another offcut of worktop on the top and some more weight on top of that. Gradually over the last...

Thanks for all your constructive help.
