I've also used these interset fixings and they are great. Only problem is if you want to remove them how the hell do you do it without ripping the plaster to bits? _____________________________ lynda, moderator Please note forum rule 20

There's an overflow on the cistern and it leads outside.

Yeah JohnD there is a plumbing duct to the corner - plasterboarded in from ceiling to floor. Opened it up today, there's a pvc downpipe of sorts with a rodding eye point. All seems dry and the smell dpesn't appear to be coming from there. Time to lift the carpet me thinks. :(

ROFL @ Bamber Gaspipe :lol: JohnD & RigidRaider - never thought of that, good call, plaster all dry, no obvious signs of leaks above. Bath is actually over the hall but upstairs wc directly above cloakroom - all seems well. Wondering whether there is any seal on the access panel that...

And it's not me! Five year old two storey detached property, modern estate of similar houses. Downstairs wc at front of house adjacent to front door. Terrible damp type smell. Carpets all dry as are walls. Smell does not seem to be coming from whb or wc. There is in the corner a...

cheers masona that's exactly what it looks like. Only thing is, it doesn't go anywhere, just stops still in the middle of the wet area. It probably goes under the fence into my neighbour's also. Planning now to dig soakaway and french drain around the fences leading to the soakaway that way...

Interesting idea. But it's too short and shallow for that. Having looked at it again this morning I'm just going to lift it and dig a large soakaway.

Help me out here :? I live in a five year old house. We're on the corner at the lowest level from our neighbours. Result is surface water runs over badly compacted surrounding gardens on to our badly compacted garden, usual builder's rubble dumped with top soil strewn on top. In the...

Cheers Thermo. I may mark the slabs and take them round to pal who has a stihl saw.

Cool - I'll need to find other things to whack with it to get my money's worth! Spot on, the eye is standard circular job and will lie right on the edge of two adjoining slabs.

Gairloch sorry if I'm butting in on your thread but what you're doing is exactly what I'm planning to do (except I can't afford to replace the concrete 900 x 600 at the moment :( ). A couple of questions, what's the best thing to use to compact the soil/sharp sand? Is it necessary to get a...

Well after phoning a local heating engineer they suggested I contacted Potterton direct. For £259 they offer to come out and fix whatever is wrong with your boiler, including parts, labour and VAT and then give you on year's cover on anything else going wrong. Decided that having seen the...

Yes, I clicked the link, and I looked at Rule 20 and can't see how I have HJ the thread. My original question was on topic of the OP so rather than create yet another thread on this issue why not tag onto an existing one? If you'd wanted to be helpful you would have said "Snash, your post...

I had a look through the rules and wasn't aware of breaking any when making my post. If I have I'm sorry but perhaps you'd be as well to point out which particular rule you appear to imply I have breached. I'd have thought that, given your pc, you might have pointed a n00b in the right...
