My 2020 fridge freezer has stopped working. Model Beko CRFG1582W. For approx 10 days the temp in the freezer was minus 26 degrees, way too cold, and the compressor sounded stranger that usual, more loud and buzzy. I couldn't get the fridge right temp without effecting the freezer. Then suddenly...

Thanks. I wish I was asked in ordering up the new bathroom as I would have made sure everything was perfect first with things like that. Sadly it has not been cemented, what we can see is the floor, trick of the light. I put my bendy camera in there and took the below pic, I am guessing all...

He didn't mention about using cement under there when I said I was concerned last night, but I will have a look. Are most toilets hollow underneath with only the rim that touches the floor ? They are not solid ceramic under ? Not sure about a loo frame, seems a bit drastic, but I understand...

He is my cousin (so my parents nephew), but he is a qualified plumber for many years. The thing is, I feel I can't blame him as I spoke to him last night and he said my mother really didn't want things dug up to move the pipe, so he was acting on her instructions really as cutting it was her...

Sorry, I will check later and let you know. I think it is a trick of the light, I think we are just seeing the dirt around the hole underneath, but I will check with a prodder later tonight. I have no idea what is meant to be under a toilet as to what should be there.

Thanks everyone. I am now kinda worried after reading all those replies. I also noticed what looks like a thin white glue trail down the side of the pan on the side closest to the wall that is not as easily seen, I really hope it wasn't a piece that broke off during cutting and then glued back...

Yes, that I also understand, my size is my own fault. I just wasn't expecting the chance of a weakened toilet, again not the plumbers fault. If you think it will weaken it then that is what I wanted to know, guess I was hoping it wouldn't make any difference but you confirmed my concerns that it...

Yes, that may be true, I am not upset at the plumber as it wasn't his idea, just my parents making that choice. I would have had no problem paying the extra myself if it came to it. I know the job fee was a pre-made one (not per hour or day but for the task), but I could have still paid extra if...

The plumber came today to fit our new toilet, as part of a whole bathroom fit. I noticed last night that the lower toilet skirting/rim would be too close to the "up through the ground" soil pipe, so I assumed some kind of pipe adapter or extension would be used. The previous toilet didn't have...

I live in a chalet, it is fairly small as I am a single person, it is more like a studio flat chalet. One wall faces on towards my neighbours garage, he has a very noisy garage door and every time he slams it shut each late morning I wake up in shock by the sudden noise. I work nights so am...
