That's great, thanks for your help

Could anyone advise where I can get one of these or similar? Lucalox LU70 90/d/1/27 for external wall mounted light

There is a fall on it but not really obvious from picture, I agree though it's not great. Using a junction might work, prob a daft question but would some waste flow into that part of the pipe and become trapped or would the junction be reversed to help prevent that?

No, it's a bit of a dog leg there, I thought inspector would ask for it to be changed but seemed okay with it...the valve was apparantly because the run looked quite long, its about 4.5m and so he thought durgo should be put in...it messes up my internal layout a bit though

Hi, these are some pics of inside and out, pipe coming in is next to toilet Thanks

Thanks for your reply, I will get some grit

I have small room with plasterboard that has been painted over...whats best way to prepare this for plastering...the paint is stuck on firmly. Should I score it or do I need to use pva or blue grit?

Okay, thanks...i was a bit worried as I had remixed it a bit so wondered if had compromised the strength or hardening ability...i will crack on today with plastering it...tbh I didn't think to check the date until after I started... Novice problems I guess, my plastering experience has been a...
