obviously I need some plywood but not on the too thick side. Would you put two small pieces on the plasterboard (for each bracket) or one large one as in my thinking I can put more supportive fixings into the plasterboard with one large sheet of plywood. thanks

"could" is the word. do you think fixing a wooden piece to the plasterboard as the easiest way to this fix? Can then put the original fixings in the same place given that I've some play in the radiator. What would you do regsmyth?

hi all, fortunately there is a lot of play in the radiator as the holes in the floorboards are large and allows movement forwards/backwards

As mentioned in title, this was working ok until i opened the door to find it still full of water. No water will drain from the waste pipe into the drain. I've taken a cover off underneath the filters which shows a propeller looking piece of kit. I presume this pumps the water out into the...
