I want to make a built in bathroom cabinet that also boxes in a toilet cistern. It will be floor to ceiling so the base will get wet when the floor is cleaned. I really don’t want to use normal furniture board. Melamine backed chipboard does not last very long in the wet conditions. I can’t...

The other side of the wall is a corridor outside the apartment. Common area within the building. Not really an option! There is a loft above. The loft might be an option alright.

Thanks. All answers and relevant info are a big help. I appreciate the input. I took it in that spirit, maybe my reply was too abrupt. :)

Projection from the wall is too much. No different to moving the wall in terms of eventual comfort of the users... (Also I think spending over fifteen hundred quid on a bog is questionable)

Not really an option. The toilet will be facing another wall , its already tight. A previous renovation turned the toilet 90 degrees so currently there are two 90 degree bends in the soil pipe before it gets to the vertical part. The flush is not the greatest. Currently the outflow is a...

Not saying that is the final design. Might be other ways to do it. But if that is all you would be worried about....

I was thinking to relocate the button with the cistern

I am looking at installing a wall hung toilet. There is an 80mm void between the tiles and the brick wall behind. Tiles are on a plywood partition. The bricks are suitable for anchoring the steel frame, there is enough room for the soil pipe, however the 80mm void is not enough space for the...

It’s this model. No number or anything just the name: https://storefeederimages.blob.core.windows.net/valutechltd/Products/f325ec76-7b98-4601-9fdf-25f1f297c1d8/Full/gnrdi5s4cad.jpg

Model is “triton power shower thermostatic”

I have a Triton power shower thermostatic. (Pumped mixer shower fed from immersion, not instant shower, no heating element) The shower started tripping the MCB (not the RCD). Trip happens when the isolator switch is closed, before shower is turned on. I took the cover off and there was black...

As far as I can tell the gate on the feed does nothing, just spins and spins. Had to drain everything down to remove old leaky cylinder. Capped off feed pipe now so I can at least fill the kettle and flush the toilet! No chance of a shower till the new cylinder arrives tho.

The catalogue does not state the height of the cold water feed tapping, just that it is to BS1566. Does anyone know if it is 100mm or 150mm type on these cylinders? (I have seen both heights on cylinders that claim to conform to BS1566)

Can't do this. The old cylinder has a tin can over the foam. The new cylinder not actually ordered yet.

I am replacing an old vented direct hot water cylinder. Old clyinder measures 900mm high 550mm diameter (including insulation). Can't measure the actual cylinder due to the insulation. Feed tapping is 150mm off floor. The new cylinder is "Gledhill Replacyl Stainless Steel Vented Cylinder 900mm x...
