Hi all, got a bit of an enigma regarding what to do to cover this gate plate. I can’t remove it because it runs about 8 inch under the wall so I’ve got a couple of options. Flags will end where the engineering bricks finish so it’s about an 7 inch to cover. I was going to make a small...

Inspected the render earlier and there’s quite a few hairline cracks above so I’ve filled them. Failing that it could be the radiator but that would be a massive coincidence given all the rain we’ve had.

Yes there’s a window above ... no signs of leaking though?

This door has started leaking worse than ever. Should there be a drip channel above the door or should I just reseal the outside with silicone?

There’s no sign of damp or mould but it does seem massively heath Robinson

Just had the sparky in and we’ve had to drop the extractor in the downstairs toilet. The ducting is made of plywood!!! WTAF? That can’t be right?

No access issues before fitting but access after would be a nightmare

Lol Doesn’t every new built have mostly plastic pipe these days? I prefer to see copper tbh but this just makes more sense to have a continuous run from entry to sink?

I have a run of cabinets in my galley kitchen of about 4.5m. The hot cold feed need to be replumbed and will run behind these units. Would you rather have copper or my suggestion to the plumber was a single run of plastic rather than having elbows and couplers I can’t get to without ripping out...

What ducting do you think I need for the fan up to the chimney cowl? semi rigid or will the aluminium flexi stuff work ok?

Thank you and yes I agree ... with unvented what am I signing up for maintenance wise?

Immersion heater ... like the good old days Thanks fellas, I think the unvented is the way to go..... now I just need to find someone to fit one!

I think they’ve quote 25mm mains pipe... it’s 40lpm at the road

The joints are filled first before skimming ... otherwise noise would pass through the joint

Turn it off and unscrew each socket.... vibration from washing machines etc has a habit of losening connections. It’s ever liking a dodgy socket over the appliance
