Yup. Plenty of/normal amount of water

ok, i don’t know who is who but all I was saying was that the original poster stating it’s caused by too many toilets was hopefully joking. Not JohnD

I think (hoping) that was a joke!

Hi Madrab Hmm. What would that look like? There are no visible pipes anywhere. Everything is boxed in with no access panels etc…

Ah thanks. That’s what it is I’ll see if there are any other possible explanations before I start removing toilets!

Evening all, Not a nice post but one that has me baffled. We have 6 toilets. 1 downstairs. 4 on middle floor and 1 on the top floor. It’s a 7 year old house. No water tank in loft etc. Always clean. No animals in house. The top floor toilet, one of the middle floor and the downstairs one all...

Actually, having just measured 75cm it’s not a great height!! Does mounting at a greater height improve its extraction ability?

Hi, do you know how high above the job you installed it? Looks higher than the regular recommended 750mm.

Thanks all. Wife’s heart has been “un-set”!!

Thanks for the help. A few pics as requested….

Hi All, I’m happy to install light fittings and fixtures but my wife has recently set her heart on a vintage French chandelier from an antique shop. I took a look and it’s clearly pretty old with no earth and just 2 wires that are the same colour. We live in a 5yr old house so with fully up to...
