Thanks everyone, sorry the sheets are 142cm x 130cm. Branty, thanks very much, I had read this my main problem is wrapping the sheets up as they are so large. Obviously I want to avoid breaking them as much as possible. I'll give the council a call first thing Monday. Thanks again!

Hi, I've recently carefully dismantled our old garage roof and building. I've managed to dispose of the garage shell but am now stuck with 10 sheets of 142x130 asbestos roofing. I want to either dispose of this at the local dump or have it collected. Are there polythene asbestos bags this...

Great, cheers everyone, I’ll be going back

Can’t get to any of the traps, everything is tiled in..

Yep gotcha, cheers Not not so new. I’ve cleared everything I can, going to cut an access point in the stack in the garage I think....

Thanks Madrab, odd that it only happens on the bath though, as the shower and basin both also feed into the 2” in the picture. I was “hoping” there was a strap boss to go onto the existing 2” pipe so I can put a 2” admittance valve on there too? I get what you mean though.....it does seem to...

Hi Got called by a customer as their bath gurgles every time they flush the loo. I went to the loft, removed the durgo valve, flushed the loo and hey presto, no gurgling so I thought the valve must have jammed. Fitted them a new one and the gurgling is back!! Thought it must be a blockage...

Mmmm, thanks Bonni, it’s turned into a bit of a nightmare, I’ve changed the manifold over and as suspected, the crimp joints are also leaking, as well as the blending valve and both iso’s on the manifold!!!! Madrab, the water was clear-ish, a lot of debris in the system though, doesn’t look...

Hi All, Got to change a leaking JG Speedfit Underfloor Heating manifold for a customer due to it leaking. I have concerns that the pipe connections used by whoever installed the job used may also be leaking. However, I do not recognise this pipe, has anybody seen anything similar? Why they...

They want recessed, not corner shelves for some reason. You have given me an idea anyway. I'm going to go with part recessed and build out the shelf from the wall at an angle. Thanks all!

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. No, not possible, it's a window wall and will also have a bath along it. They only want to put shower gel etc on it but thought I'd check, I'd be happier with a lintel but don't want to go too overboard for something that's going to be 3 or 4 inches deep! Screwed.

Evenng All, I've got a bathroom renovation job for a customer. They've asked for a recessed shelf in the shower. Having stripped everything back I've found the walls to be breezeblock - how deep can I make the shelf safely without a lintel and if they want it deeper what lintel do you suggest...

Ha ha, cheers but not me, fitting it for a friend!! They've had nothing but trouble from them, hopefully this is the last of it!!

Thanks to you both, I've taken your advice!!!

Hi All, I'm fitting an external shower valve, one part of this fitting has the valve screwed onto it, what does the 15mm fitting screw into on the wall. There is nothing in the box for this or in the instructions and Victoria Plumb don't know!!! Many thanks Screwed!
