No tape, nothing. The ground is sloping upwards. The pipe was at ground level if it were not for some flowerbeds hiding it. I tried to take some quick photos before the SGN guys tried to move it. As you can see the right side of the spirit level, this is where it obviously is at ground level...

Digging my front drive to put foundations in for a retaining wall, cut through the neighbour's gas pipe (yellow). Pipe is completely in my land and to make matters worse it is dug in very shallow, and I have been planning to lower the ground levels at that location. Can I request SGN either...

My BCO has demanded a fan if the bathroom is new, regardless of a window, and said a fan is not needed if the bathroom has a window and it is old (for example refurbished as part of more general work). To me, it sounds like a very grey and discretionary area. Especially paragraph 3.31 3.31 If...

OK now I understand, thanks for the explanations. I am going to leave it as is then.

I have installed a fan in the utility room because building control have asked me for it. The fan comes on with the lights and has a timer overrun. I have put a double wall switch on the wall, one button is the lights + fan, the other is fan on/off (disconnects the fan's permanent live). The...

Can I close the door "I promise not to use it" ? Or, "I promise not to use it until a fan is fitted" ?

I have a small bathroom and next to it a small guests toilet. They are not vented because they are in the middle of the house downstairs. I need to arrange for final inspection and not sure what to do about this. We have other bathrooms in the house and not really use these two, but I suppose...

Yesterday I installed a Wiser HubR and a bunch of radiator thermostats (12). I keep a few rooms completely shut as we do not use them, and the real temperature in those rooms is about 16.C, but the radiator thermostats show 18C and 19C. The radiators are off, the doors are closed, there are no...

Exactly that. I think it is one minute in my case.

I have a "Worcester Bosch Greenstar 8000 Life 40kW Regular Gas Boiler" Worcester technical support have told me that it is not possible to tell the boiler to increase flow temperatures. We even discussed if it might be made possible with a new boiler motherboard. Which does not yet exist. I was...

Thanks, yes "an auto-bypass" seems to be it. And I presume it is an S plan. Two independent 2-port valves, in parallel, one valve controlling the CH loop and the other controlling the HW loop. The two valves operate independently of each other. They can be both open or closed or any...

Could anyone please offer some advice? I have : a conventional boiler, one pump, two valves (CH and HW), one room thermostat, one HW cylinder thermostat and one timer module. When the room or the HW thermostat opens, immediately the corresponding valve shuts off, while the main pump is...

This is the flexible pipe I used. (the copper pipes are 22mm)

Thanks. I found in my storage some short flexi tubes but with large diameter and have used these. I did not use the flexi tap connectors. I do not know what the ones I have used really are for :-)

Hi everyone, Could you please advise me: I would like to install a wireless CH control system to replace a simple timer and thermostat. There are multiple brands and models to choose from. I would like the following features: 1) wireless control from inside the house without relying on the...

Hello everyone, I have a water filter and water softener and would like to connect them to the rigid pipework which is 22mm and 28mm with flexible tap connectors. The ones I already have here have a small internal diameter, about 13mm. I am looking for something better, if it exists...

I think I will simply have to take off (break up) the plasterboards and get access to the underside of the flange. Then new plasterboard, skimming, painting...

I have access to the flange but it implies breaking up decorative and skimmed plasterboard sections (steel beam is boxed in). Also I have fitted noggins inside the web and if by bad luck I land on a noggin then its going to be even more awkward. Just thinking aloud. probably I will have to...

It is for a balustrade very similar to this picture. The bolts go into the base channel before you slot the glass in. Need to be super strong about 380kg horizontal force at 1m height and at every one metre.

I would like to bolt down a railing base over a steel beam, and it requires 12mm bolts. Ideally I would drill a 12mm hole into the steel flange, then fix it with a 12mm bolt from the top and a nut from below. However I do not have easy (or any) access to the space inside the beam and so I cannot...
