Homophobic?

You need the system checking out. If the divertor valves are faulty (a common failing) then the boiler can receive a call for heat and come on, even though the hot water/radiator controls are set to off. As a DIY job it is an easy fix, but you do need to understand the system and the control...

Old pearl of legal wisdom-- "The man who acts as his own advocate has a fool for a client."

make sure that you have good evidence from the independent guy that the pipe inserts were missing. Why, though, are you not just using your insurance to sort it out?

I can't offer an opinion about "who" will pay, but the glass unit should be replaceable at about £50 if you DIY.

In a sense it's a pity - if we 'could' say it, to get a significant proportion of DIYers to heed advice to "at least do (easy/cheap) tests X, Y & Z, even though that would be enough to satisfy BS7671)", Missing "not" Could we not have a sticky that lists the full and correct tests that should...

Then the bath waste is not fitted to flow via the trap.

Which pipe is actually draining the basin? Which way is the flow meant to be? Is it from right to left on your photos?

There is some restriction after the tee. The bath water pushes air up the basin waste pipe and the pressure is released via the water in the basin trap instead of flowing smoothly and downhill.

Should be someone along soon to tell you exactly where to put it.

Before you deal with the cowl (the bit in green) remove the cross tap handle. Is there a retaining but under the top cover or a grub screw in the handle?

Tap handle stuck on splines. Pull harder or hit it.

Looks to me that John2 is linking to the Welsh version of the site. There is an option on the linked page to read Welsh or English version. Strange that they are different.

Presume you mean the basin and not the WC! Two incoming supply pipes 15mm (hot and cold) and one 21 mm outlet pipe. So what will happen if both taps are on full and the overflow comes into play when the basin fills? Up to you.

Thinking of the air around a former asbestos factory and what that has contributed to the ambient air I reckon that your relative to contribution could not be measured nor any trace found on your furnishings. Don't forget that asbestos was already only a small part of the artex and was partly...

The worry is totally excessive for an infinitesimally small risk of contamination. Even if you changed everything you own, would you worry about whether the replacements might have been "contaminated" from the factory or shop during its production? How much risk do you have to ignore during...

You are obviously worried but nobody can give you the absolute reassurance you want. If you have been exposed, what would you now be able to do about it and what benefit would you get from knowing? Is the ceiling even definitely an asbestos containing artex? Exposure does not inevitably, or...

But check if he is charging you for travelling time. :roll:

Google architrave or undercut saw. May suffice for your purpose.

Ask the surveyor that you wish to engage.
