Sorry which area do I check for future leaks?

Ah, I get it now. Can I leave this bit (circled in black) hanging under the sink and fit a normal push waste? Won’t need to silicone the tap hole then, if I’ve understood correctly.

Oh wow. Thanks @stevie888. I can see through the hole at the top that it’s largely empty but it still has some remains of oil in the barrel. Is this dangerous too? I have a bolster and hammer. Will that go through the top? Also, is it still safe to drill the holes at the bottom of the barrel...

It’s the silver bit that needs to be replaced. But want it to connect into the existing overflow stick thing.

I need to replace one of these: This looks pretty close but not an exact match, will it work as I want to tie in the existing overflow fitting. https://www.screwfix.com/p/flomasta-slotted-pop-up-basin-waste-with-lever-chrome-plated-brass-32mm/921jn?ref=SFAppShare Finally, I’ve seen a lot...

Also, do I use a grinder for the top and is there a knack to this?

With your 5 years of life, have you left it out in the rain when not used or taken any special precautions?

Anywhere around the bottom blue banding? What’s the best drill device for this 40mm hole?

I’ve had a few galvanised incinerators over the years. They are too small and rust away within a year. I’ve now acquired one of these: How can I convert this to a long lasting incinerator please? Thanks for your help.

Any thoughts on the above would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

Yes

What’s a rubber band in this situation?

I can slacken the tap nuts and reposition to make sure it’s central and the seal is positioned appropriately. Is there anything that can be fitted in to the tap to give it an extended nozzle? Also, should I apply some silicone around the tap?

Water shouldn’t seep through but it also shouldn’t collect at the base of the tap? Over time, this is probably testing the defense of the rubber tap seal? I think the issue wasn’t helped by the cartridge which was causing a small drip in the tap. I’ve now replaced both cartridges. But even...

I’ve got one of these and it’s not very clear from the picture but the nozzle is flat with the body of the tap. This means that even the slightest drip and even when you are turning the tap off, the last bit of water runs along the body and collects at the base of the tap. Some of this then...

Do they come in different sizes and are they easy to squeeze into place?

I replaced two sets of these door handles today. They were loose and just dropping down as opposed to springing back to the top position. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that this metal ring was broken in both of them Is this something that can easily be replaced or is it always a case of...

This tilt and turn window has a gap in the bottom right of the window. This is the hinge end and pictured from the outside. Can I fix this by doubling up the seal in these areas? If yes, what type of seal should I use for this? Thanks in advance.

I’ve had one of these in place for 10 years It was dripping inside along this rafter (marked in red): I had a look at the rubber seal and they seem fine but noticed that there is a slight gap at the top of the rafter here. There also seems to be some residue: I can see this residue on...

What size poly pins do you recommend for the battens here?
