I've used AAVs in two properties with no issues at all. As long as the air admittance valve is securely attached and is at least 1m above the highest appliance, it should be fine. I'm not a plumber though!

Wow! Such a simple one, but the online images of shower trays have totally thrown me! The same image of the same offset quadrant shower tray appears on several different sites, but whereas some describe it as LH (left handed) others say the opposite? Please help me! I'm starting to think that...

Bearing in mind that no driveway is ever maintenance-free, I'd always go for compacted MOT Type 1 and stone chippings to finish. I've tried them all! Lol

Thanks to all! :-)

Note the slight bevel on the top edge?

Just found one by 'Crosswater'!

I've fitted multiple shower trays in the past, but this time I'm striving for perfection! All the trays I've fitted to date have had the same problem in that water sits on the flat edge where the enclosure and the tray meet. This water dries after a while of course, but it annoys me! It's a...

Haha! Shouldn't you be on the mathsteacher.com forum?

Great advice! Much obliged to ya!

Paving slabs aren't really made to support vehicles, but I guess you could use them... with the right preparation! I'm afraid there's no 'quick fix' here. Personally, I would pull them all up and start from scratch. You'd need at least 4" of compacted MOT Type 1 as a base, and you'd need to...

I did cut the old 'through roof' vent pipe down and the AAV fitted well enough. I'm guessing that means that new and old are compatible?

Thanks! What if I make a clean cut at a point close to the wall and replace the rest with new? Can new soil pipe components be joined to old, or is there a size difference?

Any words of wisdom for me as I embark on the same journey Squarepeg?

Or I might actually get a plumber in! Stranger things have happened!

Thanks Stevie888. I think you're right. The bulges indicate that there's a ring seal. Thing is, I twisted with real force and the pipe was creaking as if it would crack! I'll try again...

I've installed shower trays in the past and water just sits on the flat edge where the enclosure meets the tray. Can anyone recommend an offset quadrant tray that actually sheds water from the top down? My enclosure is 900x800. Thank you!

As per Opps. Try the Soudal 'genius gun'! Mask up each side and squirt that stuff right into the crack! When the foam has hardened, you can cut it back enough to give you a 5mm fill with a decent sandable filler. You've got this!

Here we go again! So... I need to reconfigure the pipework for our new bathroom, but rather than being push-fit, this 110mm(?) black pipe (fitted in 1966 ⚽) appears to be glued! It just won't budge! Any advice would be very welcome!

Although, copper nails can [apparently] be used to kill the dreaded leylandi!
