It's teed to hot and cold pipe from boiler which is the horizontal pipes that's slightly bend. It then goes downward into the floor, not sure where though. Will pigtailing them not cause some kind of problem? What about the connectors? looks to me like i'd need a female to female 22 mm flexi...

Hi There Iam replacing an old cast iron bath as it looks pretty bad. I anticipate tap holes on the new acrylic bath tub won't line up with existing pipework. My first solution was to use flexible connectors but as you can see on the pictures of the hot tap, the distance from tap to tee is...

Thanks for reply. It was my intention to have similar pots as neighbours but when I got a quote from a roofer suggesting simply putting slate and flaunching I assume he intended to block it up completely so got a bit confused about best practice. As it is I think similar approach to neighbours...

The house is a typical London Victorian house. As you can see it's a shared chimney with two pots on the neighbours side. I assume the side with no pots is our side. The fireplace in bathroom is boarded up so no pics

Hi There We have an unused shared chimney which connects to first floor bathroom. The neighbours chimney side has two chimney pots but on our side there's none. Our side is partly covered with concrete and partly open. There's no damp and never been a problem but I thought perhaps it should...

Thanks for this. That's great info.

Hi there I am about to do a basic bathroom refurbishment. We currently have an older cheap electric shower above bathtub with low water pressure. The bathtub on the other hand has excellent water pressure. I want to install a mixer shower instead off combi boiler. The pipework is acccesible...

No berries

Thanks for the input btw(y)

Luckily no birds nesting and I've consistently cut the height to a manageable level so in theory not a monumental task. I like the idea of cutting it down looking like a bush. It really is quite extradinary how much work there is maintaining a house.

Yes there's some sense in what you're saying. Maybe it's too early to worry about something that hasn't yet become a problem. Was thinking, given there's a brick wall end of garden I may actually be able to tie the tree trunk down with some cable if it should become a problem.

I've attached two pictures below. Thanks

We have a holly tree in our back garden which has two trunks. One of the trunks is right up against our new fence with only a few milimeters gap. While it doesn't actually lean on the fence I am concerned a storm could cause some damage so I am observing the situation. Question: Will it...

Great idea. Hadn't thought of that.

I am putting up a new fence while also moving it closer to the edge of the house wall. As the picture shows, the corner of our house has and angle lower down rather than edge. I can install the fence 5 or so cm from the edge as one option. Any other ideas how to deal with this the best way? How

Will give it a go. Thanks

The fit between the two posts is a little tight which is why I had my doubts about whether I'd be able to fit the clips in. Mind you we're only talking about a 2-4 mm max so maybe it possible to cut a bit off the sides with a multi tool or a hand saw.

I think they're called 'overlap' fence panels. Basically I need to nail them to a wooden post.

Hi There I've bought an overlap fence panel to replace an existing one which is well worn down. The whole fence is by no means straight but it will do for now. At first I wanted to use fence clips but space is a little tight at the bottom so not sure it's a good idea. I then thought of simply...

I got it, thank you. I was trying to screw the nut on by hand (doh) which didn't work. Used a spanner and all is good. I was a little concerned I might have had a faulty valve.
