Mike Bent a waste pipe applying heat and was pleased with the outcome, however I realised that there was a point on the joist where it was not doubled up and I managed to drill a hole in the centre and run along it to the correct point. Probably a better long-term job. Thanks for your...

I intended to use one of these. It is a magic flex from toolstation. I have used these previously and they are much more robust than those flexy concertina'd shower things. They are also twinwall so less likely to create blockages. I mentioned connecting with compression. These are solvent...

pipe

Thanks Mike. It is a suspended floor with generous crawl space below. Drilling joist is an option as they are 250mm , and would have been my default, except in this case the joist runs around 5 or 6 inches out from the parallel wall and for some reason is doubled up which makes me a...

Good morning folks. I'm remodeling my bathroom and moving a basin to a different wall. I thought that everything was working out as I'm removing a bath and putting in a walk in shower, and the fall was more than sufficient for the extra run. I had planned to tee the basin into the shower...

Thanks guys. It looks slightly trapezoidal as both walls lean similarly. Don't think the base has moved. Looks like the it could have had a knock at some point. The door looks like it has been fitted with the lean and it works fine. I think I will move to plan B and look at some form of...

My concrete sectional garage is leaning off the vertical by a good 50mm or 2 inches if you are old school. It's nearing the end of its life, but I'd like to tart it up to get another few years out of it as I have other plans for my funds before a new garage. Any ideas as to how or if it could...

I have been searching the forum and googling this issue and the consensus seems that it is fine to connect wastes to a horrizontal soil pipe. Can anyone back up this theory or challenge it? I am close to the point where I will be assembling the soil and waste and would really appreciate...

Thanks. Although the diameter wasn't my concern. I will have one 50 mm from shower/bath and 32mm from basin. i was hoping to get thoughts on whether it was ok to connect both of these to the horrizontal branch in the eves or if they should be run to the vertical stack. I was hoping to run to...

Hi folks. I am fitting a bathroom in an existing attic conversion and would like a bit of advice regarding the soil and waste pipes. I have building warrant in place but the wastes are all just shown as schematic lines to a new stack. I have had a new inspection chamber fitted and will...

Never done it, but my guess would be to attach batons to the two walls, possibly made out of the same material as the bench (marble?). If they are a couple of inches shorter and fairly slim then you should not see them. Then I'd attach 3 resin anchors to the long length of the bench and set them...

Any further thoughts on whether I will have to double rafters or if there are any other ways of providing support for the cut joist. A few google search results suggest that doubling the trimmers without doubling the rafters can help spread the load. Will BC be more amenable to avoiding...

Black grout may help aesthetically?

Thanks Tony. I have just checked and found that there are no purlins in my roof structure. I believe that this is linked to the pyramid shape. I'll speak to BC and my architect about how to determine whether I need to reinforce the Rafters. I hope that I don't as I can not see a simple...
