Hi, I'm removing a second sink I had in my utility room that connects to a soil stack (see attached photo). I want to get it as close to the stack as possible as the whole thing needs to be boxed in. The uPVC waste pipe looks like it's been glued on with solvent. Any advice on how I can get it...

This does look very interesting, but I'm mindful that it may be tricky to affix a splashback too and also we would want to paint it and match the finish on the walls.

Hi all, I'd really appreciate some help with boxing in these unsightly pipes in my kitchen that run through the worktop. I'm planning to box it down to worktop height and then have quartz countertop and splashback. I'm assuming I affix a batten against the wall, then noggins at short intervals...

Hi all, In the process of ripping out my old kitchen splashback tiles, I found out the house builders had botched the interior breeze block wall. Firstly it wasnt built upto the right height and then they stacked it with two layers of plasterboard sandwiched together with dot & dab to raise the...

Thank you Terry, this worked perfectly and it feels pretty water tight now

Hi, I've been investigated a leak under my bathtub. It wasn't the cause of the leak but I accidentally knocked it out and it's now completely detached. I'm struggling to reattach it. Could anyone advise urgently? The family bath/shower is completely out of action due to this.

Hi, Should bathroom mirror lights come straight of the lighting circuit or be powered via the isolation switch that extractor fans are connected to? I'm wondering how else they can be isolated without going to the CU everytime. Thanks in advance!

It is terminated in a BT 101A but the cable is exposed from the ground conduit to the BT101A

I could but it's really unsightly given its right outside my door

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice regarding the fitting of armoured coaxial cable for virgin media. Unfortunately I live in a dodgy area where the youths go round and cut the BT or Virgin cables outside your house for fun. My virgin Fibre cable comes is very close to my door and it disappears...

Sorry I don't quite follow? Could you explain that again please? The 32a switch I have requires a single knockout box and the same for the cooker outlet plate. Is that ok?

I have to mount them quite close together anyway as my oven is going into a vertical unit and the switch will be in the unit above, so I thought why not have them in a 1 + 1 knock out box? It also means I don't have to cut an additional chase for the outlet plate.

Hi all, Is it advisable to use a 1+1 knock out box to install my 32a switch and cooker outlet plate side by side? Also I can't find a 32a outlet plate so could I use a 45a outlet plate instead?

Hi all, would a 32amp DP switch be suitable for the oven I have listed here? Also do I need to then wire the DP switch to an unswitched cooker connection unit? Or can I wire the oven to the DP switch?

Thank you all for the input, I tested the setup today and my zigbee wall dimmer worked perfectly to dim the led strip and also worked via smartthings

Hi all, I am doing some of the initial plumbing for a new understairs toilet to go in and finally plumbing in my american style fridge freezer. I plan to take a cold feed the 22mm mains that comes into the house and runs through my first floor ceiling cavity. I am comfortable turning off the...

I understand, but I have found drivers that can be fed via a dimmer. Any thoughts on how I'm planning to wire the lights?

Hi all, I'd like to wire my kitchen cabinet led strip lights in a way that allows me to to control them from a dimmer switch on the wall. My plan is to wire in another dimmer from the kitchen light/downstairs lighting circuit, then run the switched live and neutral into a MF junction box and...

Sorry for the late reply, the noise stops after a while when the hot water is running. I'd say after 5-10 seconds. Shall I let some air out? Also the EV was taken off and the water was pumped out using a bike pump before it was repressurised if that helps?
