Double waste

Morning Bright eyes, Hope you are well this fine morning … I hope I can bring some clarity to your last message :) Many things that are on the market work however it’s a diy temporary fix:). Some examples of this would be the outdoor tap kits that have a little bit of hose pipe in the kit ...

Mad I was thinking the same as you from the 80’s for a make do shower ! I just can’t help but feel anything tan connecting it to the main supply would be a bodge, I don’t think I would actually fit it to a tap for any of my customers

Morning Fergus, Yes your spot on, when the pipe is laid in the ground it just needs covering with pea gravel before re filling the hole… in relation to finding the best route for the underground pipes I tend to just roughly lay them out and see what works best. I personally think this Is the...

If i.was.usually installing a dishwasher id use one of these valves... Which.fits a 3/4 hose... You haven't mention.what tap you have however the manufacture will tell you what thread the tap.thread is...its not a critism more of a question but why not fit it direct to your supply. The valve...

Yep you got it ! The fall of the pipe is taken care of mostly under the ground so you don't have to worry about getting the right fall through your floor boards etc...not a good idea to have a soil stack under the floor I'm assuming your old soil stack will be cast iron? Which if it is won't be...

You don't have to take the soil pipe above the roof as long as you lol air valve on around 1.5 metres above highest water inlet

When you have it located in the trench you then bring a soil stack up from the the ground , Yes off through the wall

Anyway if it was just a path my tuppenc worth would be to dig a trench lay a new soil pipe under ground connecting to the present one and put it where you want it . Yes a pain having to dig a 45cm trench but a macerator will cost you £500 , they make a awful noise, get blocked and then you need...

Thanks for the pic makes more sense ! Personally sticking a soil pipe along the outside wil not do anything positive for the look of your house ! It looks like there’s a path that goes down the side ? Concrete ?

Thanks cdbe prob use tape as I normally do it’s just that it’s got timber behind the plaster board where the gap Is and I can see it moving … last time I did a 45 degree corner I used a 3mm stop bead :)

As a pro I try not to Use macerates they are a pain in the bum when they get blocked! Could you possibly fit a corner toilet in there close to the soil Stack? Pics would really help ! Best wishes Jake

Only way to know is to remove it

It doesn’t matter what board you use the idea of tape is to stop the plaster from cracking when there’s movement on the boards bestwishes Jake

Have you a photo ?

Hi Still got a Lot to learn about plastering as it isn’t my trade however I do do it in my own house to get more practice I Just Wondered if it’s possible to use metal CornerBead on a internal corner? Where I was thinking was wall meets ceiling? I usually use tape but got a few gaps to fill...

I was waking around my house today doing some Measuring and realised the chimney breast in the living room Has one directly above it however there’s not one in the kitchen but there is directly above it ? All the houses down the street are the same, there’s no fallow brackets or steels Etc I...

Hi, I’ve got some external Block Work That I’m rather going to render it tile, im Planning on putting some tile Backer board which is suitable externally onto the block work first. I wondered what would be the best way to fasten it to the block? Thanks Jake

Thanks again woods … after removing the brick work on the pic timber is definitely the way to go thanks Jake
