I'm not a plumber just daft enough. If that elbow will turn then face the valve down and use it to drain into a bucket

Yes but you are getting wet and there will be surprisingly more water than you expect. Is that 90 degree fitting push fit? If so slipping that off and the end stop on there will be easier but the above still applies.

What's next to the washing machine?

Get a pen and paper, take some measurements of the wall and draw roughly what you want with some dimensions on it and we can probably give you a rough cost of the price for a tradesman to do it, we'll also need to know what county your in. You'd need to do the above for anyone you want to...

The responsibility for building control is with the home owner, your builder hasn't told the truth. You will need to contact your local council building control officer and tell them what's happened and they'll tell you how to proceed. Taking more photos of both sides of the rooms will help us...

Is there a building control officer involved either from the council or a private one? If there isn't then everything needs to stop now and get one involved. Some bco's will accept standard size lintels and steels for normal situations but they make that decision. Can you take a photo from...

What does the drawing or engineering calculations show?

That should be fine, most steels require a minimum 150mm bearing, you've got another 50mm on that so nothing to worry about.

Any type of fitting that uses an olive seals on the olive so fitting anything to the threads will make no difference. Fittings from the cheaper end of the market seem to be poor nowadays and most I've used have required several wraps of gas ptfe around the olive to seal, I fit the ptfe as a...

Your right with hex, dhw is generally domestic hot water

That looks more like it, what's on the toilet end?

Have you got a full picture of the conservatory and maybe we can come up with a different idea?

Decide where you want it and use cadents diversion service to get a price. They moved our meter about 6m from inside our old garage to outside our newly built porch, they had to fit us a brand new line too as we were twinned with our neighbours. That lot cost us £491, I dug the new trench on...

You can drill it as you originally planned but you need a centre punch to mark the centre first to stop the drill wandering.

We've told you what needs to be done and you just keep coming back trying to get a pro to say that while it's a lash up it'll be ok aslong as it's not leaking so you can justify leaving it as is. All the advice you need is in this thread.

An 8mm hss drill bit from toolstation is £3.58. If you want to use a file then I'd use a round needle file personally but I'd imagine one will cost more than the drill bit.

Think you need to take a photo of what's actually behind the fcu, if he's just used Wago's to join the 2 cables and none of the screw terminals on the fcu faceplate then the cable won't be fused by the fcu.

The flexi is a problem as the ridges in it catch the more solid stuff that goes down the toilet and slowly builds up till it causes a blockage. The 90 degree is completely smooth internally so the weight of water forces everything along it. And that's without the rat consideration. Im only a...

The pictures look like you can remove more of the wall to remove the need for the offset connector. Get yourself a 90 degree pan connector, fit it to the toilet with the outlet horizontal. That will then attach to the white 110mm pipe you've already got, remove whatever wall is stopping it...

You shouldn't really have the front cover off the boiler. If you've not used the taps thtlat isolate the boiler in awhile the it's likely they won't work and will still allow water to pass. Your issue is likely to be either the expansion vessel or heat exchange vessel, both common issues on...
