Hi all We had a flood in our ground floor flat- burst pipe. Wooden floor ruined, needed to come up. Old vinyl tiles under needed removing as well to let concrete subfloor dry. It's now dry after nearly 6 months. Just ordered new wooden flooring. The old floor was 3 strip engineered oak approx...

So really the only viable option is to rechase horizontally between sockets. Got a bad feeling he's going to charge me extra for this when it was his mistake.

I'm concerned by the fact additional sockets have been added but cabling has been concealed by skirting on horizontal ones? What are the options? Rechase? Armoured cable? Conduit?

Hi all need a little advice, using a spark recommended to install additional plug sockets. All skirtings have been removed and all flooring. Flat is circa 1970s ex-la. Concrete floors and ceilings and all wiring in metal conduit. Wires have been chased down to the subfloor and along...

Thanks for your answer. I have recently had the soil stack broken into to add my toilet. I'm in a ground floor flat and the toilet waste goes down through the ground into the inspection chamber outside and onwards. There is a stack in the corner of the bathroom which takes the waste from the...

I seem to have a problem where water pools in the joint where the wc spigot enters the flexible connector. Theres a channel in the joint just before the concertina part and over time it starts to leak. On taking apart this channel is full of water dispute me being sure the pan spigot is passed...
