#1 House is sold (we sold on 1st May). The waste disposal is not listed in particulars and was not mentioned to prospective buyers, nor on the TA6 form (or whichever form all the fixtures and fittings were listed) #2 Aware which is precisely why I was asking about what I needed after taking...

Thank you, That looks exactly what I need. Do I need a trap to go with it (I think S-traps or P-traps are now banned??) Would the kitchen strainer waste work with a bottle trap? XRD

Hi folks, I am shortly moving house and would like to take the Insinkerator Waste Disposal unit to the new house. The unit is fitted to the small bowl of a 1.5 bowl stainless steel sink. What parts would I need to obtain from a plumber's merchant / Screwfix / Toolstation to allow me to remove...

Ahh, thanks - you make a good point. Hadn't thought of that! Regarding the installation of a split A/C, as the proposed unit is a heater in winter and chiller in summer, I'm guessing you should call it a heat pump rather than an air-conditioning unit and then it should be allowed under PD...

It seems that even asking the local council (Sheffield) if Planning Permission is required, I have to sump up £126 to be possibly told "No, you don't need Planning Permission". XRD

For years we have toyed with the idea of getting a wall-mounted a/c fitted to the bedroom and, if reasonable cost, the main living room and/or our home office. We have a portable unit with window exhaust kit but it struggles to get the room cool. We are now about to move house so I'm thinking...

Ahh ... okay. I couldn't see the link between light fittings and plinth heaters but now I understand - thank you : ) XRD

Thanks to all that offered help/advice/suggestions. Now sorted on both problem doors! Happy bunny! XRD

Sorted. I managed to do this before I saw your post, but thank you nevertheless! XRD :)

Rear door is solved! There is a 2.5mm Allen screw retaining the lock. I was pretty sure that (a) we hadn't given the company (Everest I think) making the door a lock to fit and (b) that I'd replaced the lock myself sometime in the past. Now to have a look at the Porch Door. XRD

Nope @opps. There is some movement of the lock in the rear door but no matter what the orientation of the key, I cannot remove the lock. Given that I have swapped over numerous Eurostyle cylinders, I know that getting the correct key orientation can be somewhat tricky, but no joy whatsoever...

Okay - here you go. Each picture numbered for ease of identification. Pictures 1-4 are of the front door. There may be an attached bit to the right-hand door (mullion?) There appear to be 4 screws that may retain this but I havent tried to remove this piece yet! There is no lock...

Okay so a question (pics will be posted tomorrow after being taken in daylight!) I am in the process of moving house. We have five uPVC multi-point locking external doors. All of these doors have high-security ABS locks on them. Three of the Eurostyle cylinders are easy to remove - the...

An interesting and informative post @flameport, but how does this relate to a plinth heater as the document is talking about lighting (or more specifically, halogen bulbs)? Also, your typed post talks about Zone 3 but there is no Zone 3 indicated on the diagrams (unless it is the 'Outside...

As the thread title says, this is possibly a Building Regs Question about Plinth Heaters. I find them very effective. I'd like one in my bathroom (away from the bath, sink, shower and w.c. obviously. Can one be fitted in a bathroom or is it a big 'no-no' (I suspect I already know the answer)...
