The screws go through the pan and into floor boards.

Great, i'll pick some up tomorrow. Cheers again guys.

Cheers. So about 3 1/2" should do the job.

Cheers. The parts of the screws I have that have shearede off are between 1" to 1 1/2" long so maybe 3" screws would do or should I use something a bit longer? Forgot to mention that the bathroom floor has laminate down so would I need a longer screw because of this?

Hi, the screws that secure my toilet to the floor have all corroded and sheared. The toilet was probably fitted in the late 70's/early 80's as it is in a former council house and the screws look like they go into the floor at a slight diagonal angle. What length of screw do I need to use to...

I've noticed a crack appearing in my toilets cistern just below the flush handle running horizontally. The crack is about 100mm long and isn't leaking but there is also a smaller crack running up towards the flush handle. The cistern was orginally fitted by the council maybe 20-25 years ago...

Cheers for the help. I've used a bit of plastic from a bag for life, it's not as thick as the proper diaphragm but the toilet now flushes first time so it should hold until I can either get a repalcememt diaphragm or find a thicker bit of plastic to use.

Sorry, my mistake. mine is an 88R so getting a replacement part won't be an issue. Think I need to get my eyes checked. With regards to using a heavy duty polythene bag to make a replacement i'm guessing your on about something thicker than a bag for life from Asda?

Cheers. Is the diaphragm easy to replace? I have a Plumb Centre near me and they can have one in stock for monday. Only 77p.

Hi. recently our toilet had became difficult to flush but usually pumping the handle a couple of times got it going. Today however it has became alot harder to get the toilet to flush. I've had a look inside the cistern and it has a Dudley Turbo SSR syphon fitted. When I removed the blue...

I think I just need the verges. I'll take a photo of it tomorrow to show the damage.

I've noticed some damage to the edge of my roof. It's a terraced house that was built late 70's/early 80's and it looks like cement has been used to seal off the end of the roof. alot of this has came loose so i'm looking to get it replaced with a new plastic facia. any Idea on how much it...

Yes, the flue pipe comes out the top of the boiler and through the wall. What would you surget I use to block the air brick with?

The house I live in was built in the 70's and has 2 air bricks in the kitchen wall. originally when the house was built it had a warm air heating system that was positioned at the opposite side end of the kitchen diagonally from the air bricks. About 10 years ago the council replaced the...

Hi, I currently have the above mentioned boiler fitted in my home. For the last 3 1/2 years every now and then it would trip out and I would have to press the reset button to get the heating/hot water working again. This hasn't been too much of a problem until recently where the boiler...
