Hi, Thanks for your reply. This is why I asked, as some things I have read said they are regulation and I don't know how to check. Would you know how I would find out for sure please? Thanks, Alex

Hello, I was wondering if someone could tell me if fitting isolator valves on a new sink and bath were regulation or just 'good practice'. Thank you very much your your help. Alex

Cheers for advice Goldspoon. I managed to identify the hot cartridge as the culprit now. I took it to Plumbase to see if I can get a replacement but they tell me that there's no way of telling what type it is and so I have to get a new tap! Worse than this though - In re-fitting the...

Shambles - I had to undo a small screw at the base of the swan neck and then it just pulled off. Giblets - The drip is from the spout end. What do you mean by hot & cold cartridges? Do I definitely need to replace these, and if so could you please spare another minute or so to explain how I...

Hi I'm new to this board so not sure if this topic is in the right place. Please move if necessary. Our neighbour wishes to clad the wall that sits on the boundary between our properties. This means essentially that his cladding will overhang our boundary by a minimum of 80mm. What I wish to...
