    Belfast sink doesn’t fit - any advice?

    The fact it's flush to the cabinets makes it look absolutely fine IMHO. Only you will know this wasn't the intended final fit, and if you can live with that it's all that matters!

    Drilling ceiling rafters in garage for pipework

    They're only 15mm pipes I'd be running through. Suprised it's a 0.25x span limit. I'll have to measure their length and see where that puts me.

    Drilling ceiling rafters in garage for pipework

    Hi all. I have ceiling rafters for my garage roof and I'm wanting to run pipework for some taps from one side to the other. I'm thinking of drilling these rafters and running the pipework within. Only reason being, in the future I may want to insulate the roof and put boarding up. Is it...

    Floorboard floating between notch

    I've a floorboard which meets exactly over the top of some pipework. I've tried adding battons in so it doesn't touch the pipes but it still sags slightly when stood on. Is there anything I can do to remedy this short of cutting out and installing wider planks?

    Socket in back of wardrobe

    This thread basically covers what I had planned on, without an extended backbox. https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/adding-a-socket-to-a-wardrobe-door.509056/

    Socket in back of wardrobe

    My thoughts went straight to panelled walls too. I have no issue removing the back of the wardrobe and plugging straight into an existing plug, but a faceplate internally would be 100x neater. The wardrobes are sat raised on a plinth with the back of the wardrobe touching the back wall, so no...

    Socket in back of wardrobe

    I'll be having lights inside the wardrobe, and if to standard they need to be accessible if wardrobes built in.

    Socket in back of wardrobe

    Just out of interest, if the wardrobe is fixed. Why can't you do that The back of the wardrobe is flat to the wall and only mm's thick.

    Socket in back of wardrobe

    I'm fitting some pax wardrobes and will be fixing them onto the wall. I've a socket behind which im wanting to put into the wardrobe. I'd planned on removing the faceplate from the socket, cutting out the wardrobe and using longer screws to internally mount the socket face plate to the backbox...

    Water coming up between grouting - bathroom floor tiles

    Annoyingly when the cabinet was fitted the waste pipe and inlet was fed through holes instead of a slot in the cabinet front. When I changed the cistern it meant getting it as tight as possible blindly, which clearly wasn't that tight. This time I had to either remove the waste, or cut the...

    Water coming up between grouting - bathroom floor tiles

    I had a better look behind the toilet yesterday as it's a concealed cistern and it looks like waters originating there. It is pooling in front of the toilet too. I'll remove the cabinet and get a better look. I imagine it's the water feed pipe not sealing into the toilet bowl. I hope anyway...

    Water coming up between grouting - bathroom floor tiles

    I appreciate it. I know the question is vague as it could be from anywhere, just wanted some hints. Seems to be no common for duration of appliance use to water coming up through tiles

    Water coming up between grouting - bathroom floor tiles

    Good spot. These are radiator pipes and I'm losing no bar pressure though?

    Water coming up between grouting - bathroom floor tiles

    Which screws? The drip was wiped and nothing returned on this. I imagine it's just run through from the tiling above and gathered. This is a recent issue.

    Water coming up between grouting - bathroom floor tiles

    Good shout. Toilet had been silicone to the tiles which was a clever decision. I couldn't see any water leaking before but I didn't put my phone down. Waste pipes are definitely dry. Some photos from under the floor. The drips were wiped and didn't return so weren't from the pipe joints.
