Hi So every time I try to connect up a kitchen sink waste I seem to stumble. As in the photo I have the plastic nut then the plastic tapered washer then the rubber - this is correct or not? I then struggle to push and screw (oohh err misses) the pipe in as it always feels the threads aren't...

Quick update as we've had some rain - boooooo. So the water ran down over what led they've put in and dripping down. No good so I've asked for them to come back and have a look

Yeh sorry I've had my hands full lately. Will get a picture from the window uploaded. My plan was also get the scaffolding removed and see if the water runs down and collects by the garage which is directly underneath this point.

Great thinking... Looked on Google especially 2 doors down who had their fascias done not long ago and they've done what I'd expect just finished it with some trimmed dry verge just so there's no gap.

Hi The jobs finished as they left Friday (obviously I've not noticed since) I'm looking at the neighbours who haven't had theirs done (all built the same etc) and some have simular but it looks like the gap isn't as big (will have a proper look when they are out). But I was thinking if the dry...

Hi guys We've just had all our soffits/fascias/dry verge replaced and today I noticed a gap between the two parts of dry verge as in the picture - firstly is this correct or would you useually have another piece running all the way? My only thoughts is as the water runs down the roof it's going...

That was my thoughts come out of the plastic which is already in situ with compression and continue with copper/solder

I've read about a million articles on this all with a variety of comments. Would you use any type of compression such as This one And can any insert work? I've always used these These

Hi I'm just looking to plumb in our utility washing machine and sink. Cold is great as the historical pipe work is copper happy days I'll just continue with soldering copper. The hot has plastic coming in. I've used JG and various other plastic fittings before that seemed ok. On this job I've...

At least I'm on the right tracks just got some L brackets to attach with. Also If I glued I wouldn't have maintained the gap

Thanks guys Im actually making progress would you believe!? I do have one strange question though - its a howdens corner unit which I have fitted and put into place. From the drawings its a fixed door with a post and then the door which opens - great he says lets fit it. I have and Im just a...

Getting there guys once I have this complete then happy days I can get the job done (once I have managed to escape from all this red tape :D) Could someone cast their eyes over it an confirm for me please?

Thanks guys - the EICR didn't highlight this or anything so I would have thought that they either didnt see it OR that its been done since possibly by the tenants and now they are unhappy (who knows...) And I completely understand from an insurance perspective that was kinda why I asked, I am...

Hi guys, As the title goes I am renting out my property and had the place checked\signed off with regards to an EICR. The agency has now come back to me after the tenants have moved in and said there is a cracked fitting - I do wonder if the tenants actually did this themselves but anyway. Am I...

Hi guys, First go at fitting some kitchen units so please be kind :) Ive started with a straight line across the back wall at 875mm from the floor and then levelled the units (there are only 2) to this line. From that Ive checked the front bottom and top of the corner unit to the other unit...

Thank you will give it a go and see what happens

Hi guys I know cracks can happen in relatively new buildings/extensions etc but I was wondering if you can help me with the best way to tidy them please? I've gone through one with a stanley knife and then filled it but it's come back. Attached are some pictures of the type of cracks I'm dealing...

If it was that important for testing etc then there is nothing stopping me from either blanking off that socket or even cutting a hole in the back of the unit to access the socket if needed.

Its a tall Howdens larder syle I was thinking the same but the problem is if I notch out the lower right hand side of the unit you will see it. I'm thinking notch for the left and change the lower right for a single socket.

That means chasing out and filling in which obviously no problem but would prefer a less messy approach
