See! its happening already..... the Bl**dy quotes! I have to admit though, even lurking is fun. Im a general builder nearly 20yrs experience....done a 6week 2381 wonder course(With the worn out Part P) but find myself doing more and more plumbing...... :roll:

I would normally go for 1" clouts on something like that, but Roughcaster may be along later with better idea....he's the man! Sbr for a skim?
