You're overthinking it. Pump the vessel up as ianmcd said, it is more than likely fine. Or get in someone who knows what they are doing

Just stick a tray under and remove the nut slowly. Problem solved

Did you not ask one of the engineers you phoned to come and sort it for you?

That’s just the clip link further down you select options for size

Pick up some wood screws too they don’t come with any

So ripped the bathroom out on a recently bought flat & one of the walls i’ll be tiling has bonding over plasterboard. Was going to skim coat it & tank it, as it’s the side wall to where the bath will be, then tile over however i’m a bit unsure as to whether the bonding + skim will weaken the...

Might just do that, it's in a false ceiling & I've left plenty excess for cables but anything to make life easier in the future.

I've just always known these as chocolate boxes This has 7, wasn't sure if electrical guys doubled up on the holes. I'm fitting a light in the living room since there's not one in there so one of the cables will be going into another box to deal with the wiring for that.

Wiring up one of these for lighting/extractor fan. Never really use them so wondering if I'm better off with a proper wiring box & strip or if this will cope alright. I'm feeding it from a 3a spur to comply with the extractor mi's then has L to fan, l/switch & onto next light. S/L from...

A macerator pumps crap, condy pumps pumps water effectively.

Once had a greenstar terminating the condensate into the same waste as a macerator. The waste choked and the macerator pumped all the shît right back into the boiler. Case went back on very quickly & it was new boiler time.

Best practice is to run a condensate internally. It will go outside at some point to connect which is where it would freeze not in the loft

The condensate pumps come on for around 2 seconds when it fills. If you do it the way your thinking would you be happy to go and get your ladders in the ice & try defrost in winter if it freezes? Accept liability if it backs up and causes any damage to the boiler? You’ve got someone round to...

Going from your pictures I can’t see an external drain to tie into for a condensate & bear in mind if there’s one outside the picture it will be a long run liable to freeze in cold conditions (don’t trust condensulate or standard lagging to keep it from freezing). Condy pumps are generally...
