Im relaying a small paved area in my garden. The house is quite old so I assume the paved area is pretty old also so Im struggling to find Slabs of the same size (to replace a few that are broken). They are approx 22cm or 9 inch square (sort of red/terracotta colour). Anyone know where I can...

From soak.com Is the only fix to ask for a replacement or is there a simple fix I'm unaware of?

After installing a new toilet I left it for a few days to ensure leak free before 'sealing in'. When I went to check I had a leaking pan connector pipe (a slight drip at the bottom of the connector). The pipe I had was a cheap B&Q flexi so I thought I may need a better fitting one and went to...

The waste is a Floplast compression. The 32mm pipe from the trap is actually too small (its loose when I try and tighten it to the compression joint).

Hi, I have a Chrome Bottle trap for a new bathroom which is being installed. When we tried to connect it up it seems the pipe from the trap is to small. I contacted the company and they maintain its 32mm pipe but when I try to connect to my 32mm waste the compression joint does not hold (its...

http://www.travisperkins.co.uk/p/hepworth-chimney-pot-bonnet-insert-red-180mm/861629/3893474 Would this type of Cowl work if the inside of the Chimney is oval shaped or would it be unsafe??

Can't seem to locate this company. Are they UK based? Any other companies or ideas I can try???

Hi, I need to add caps to my chimneys (Caps on 5 and the 6th which in still used will need a cowl). The building is victorian and several of the chimneys are a streatched Octogan shape with an oval on the inside. This makes it pretty impossible to find Cap/Cowls which will fit. Has anyone...

Cheers Alex. After re-building last night I ran a quick test on the shortest run (I think glass on the picture and it worked finally :D). Will re-test on the same cycle a couple of times as your suggestion and then move on to normal use. Many thanks for the advice (I really can't...

Cheers for reply. Yep I get a bleep when switch closed so looks like the switch is ok. Also when I spin the small motor I get current passed to the orange terminals so that also looks good too. So the electrics seem ok and the mechanical stuff all seems to spin well so I'm a little hesitant to...

Hi all, E8 error code on my smeg (approx 5 years old). I followed the instructions on this thread, however after re-assembly I still had the E8 code. I then tried adding some hot water like mentioned in the last thread but this did not work. Should I try and de-scale the whole value (minus...

:-) must admit its not been the best boiler over the years (in fact pretty crap) but if it means I dont have to get inspection hatches added to a shared building its a bonus!

I'll double check when I'm next at the flat buit its sound like I may be in luck. cheers all :-) most helpful site on interweb!

Is there a simple way to check for O.F. or R.S? I dont recall the front of the boiler stating either way?

The Gas Inspection Cert from British Gas says Open Flue on the report but I'll double check on the boiler. thanks
