Thanks, give you a great example, we bought the house in 2010, the 9.5kw electric shower was wired to the consumer unit with 2.5mm cable. When the electrician took the ceiling pull cord out he showed me. It was completely black inside! Noted, no more spurs, just the one for the Ring camera /...

The 1st floor was rewired in 2011, as the whole lot was remodelled. Complicated to explain but it was a 3 bed which we turned into 4. The main bedroom was huge and so was the bathroom with his and hers sinks. The wiring was awful with live wires buried in the wall with a bit of masking tape...

Thanks, it isn't, it's part of the bedroom ring main.

Hi there We had some unwanted scum which was picked up on my Ring doorbell. Looks like the lead guy had some sort of gadget and was trying near my front door. We have two cars with comfort access and my sons think they were trying to hack the keys. My car, the keys go to sleep after 5 mins of...

Hi all All sorted from Madrab's pics. Thanks everyone

Thats what I thought, whilst I'm not a plumber, I'm a very heavy diy-er, and this has really stumped me. The builders were from Ukraine. They did a really good job but maybe that's the standard out there.

Yes basin is 32mm but that's fine, it's the other end of the p!

The trap outlet is 36mm, and the pipe im trying to connect to is 43mm, hope that makes sense

Sorry, second image is not that clear, but have the P type waste which fits perfectly onto the sink. the grey pipe is 36mm which fits onto the waste as pictured. 2nd pic shows the 43mm pipe and the 40mm to 32mm connector (I know the 32mm bit is wrong). But the 40mm will not got into the 43mm...

Thanks, I have a 40 to 32mm reduccer and the 40mm bit will not go into the 43mm pipe! It's solvent weld. That makes sense but there is no bath just a shower so my guess is they did not have the correct size for a sink so just used 43mm!

Hi All I wonder if one of you plumbers or people in the know can help. Posted before and just finishing up a loft conversion, first fix plumbing was done by the builders and jut fitting the bathroom sink. Purchased a trap which fits perfectly. Two issues, 1) the outlet for the trap is 36mm, I...

Hi All The loft conversion continues, another problem. Tiled floor is down, shower tray in and now need a toilet. Prob is the guys that fitted the soil pipe have left it at 190mm center and most toilets are 180mm, any ideas? Thanks

But I thought the digital is better given my set up? Of course they are 3 times more expensive!

Thanks chaps thermostatic or digital thermostatic?
