I don’t like the ridges on the flexible connectors as they accumulate dirt. I think of using a bent like in the photo, shall I go for a wide bent or a normal one as it is underneath the bath and don’t want to open it for cleaning.

My bath trap is too high in relation to where it needs to be connected, I’m stuck! Is there anything I can do other than going round the back and then forward with L-connectors ? Thanks

I just purchased a property and they seem to have added a piece of worktop at a later stage on a straight line. The problem is one piece is bull nose the next is square edge and there is no joint in between they sit loose on top of the floor cabinets. Is there an aluminium joint that will do...

I am having a 40mm sink waste pipe that can either go straight out of the wall and then drop outside, around 50cm from the floor, or drop it inside the house before bring it outside very close to the outside floor, then horizontal to the drain.... What would you recommend...

Sorry I did not make it clear but I do not wish to have the emergency lights outside permanently on as it will highlight to the burglar where the available entrances are and there are 4 around the building, as it is an old mill. There is not enough ambient light outside as the exits come out...

I am trying to avoid attraction by thieves to our commercial building during the night by illuminated permanently the outside of fire exits that is generally quite dark. Am I allowed to use a combination of PIR Flood Lights and a non maintained light to cover myself with all possibilities. So...

Probably the way I’m presenting options is not great lol. I’m trying to debate whether to go for the extension or do something else! Sorry Andy!!!

I can plug the left side with a 32mm plug and use a straight length of 40mm pipe straight from the trap to this one so I don’t have to go through the sink. What do you think? I

Yes I’m concerned with extensions ! I like rigid stuff if the tenant doesn’t connect the extension well it will flood the kitchen!

this is how it will look, washer too far from sink to use with standard size hoses

I can but I am trying to avoid using an extension as it is around 2.5m from washer to the sink there is also an extra unit in the corner on the right of the sink

I’m trying to add a washing machine connection in kitchen and I’m concerned the 40mm waste pipe is too high and water from washing machine will be spilled out as I’ve only got a bit height left to the bottom of the worktop can I use that adaptor from Screwfix, plug one end and use it as a...

I’ve rung Dulux this morning as I was getting a chalky effect on diamond Matt and they confirmed this is the effect that people like. I asked about wipe-ability and although on the net it says wipeable etc the lady suggested that I go with the Diamond Eggshell instead. I am painting over...

I don’t want to rip it apart, just finishing it off really

What do you do here. Do you tile to the floor and then box things up or you put a batten at the end of the plasterboard and tile up to there? Also the back plasterboard in the whole bathroom is standard plasterboard not waterproof, is this a concern? Finally can I go over tiles on the left...

I had Ip65 rated Mr16s that I fitted myself with an electronic driver specific for LEDs but the electrician replaced them with fixed 230V . My experience with the 230V is that they overheat but thats back in 2009 when I fitted some GU10s within a hood in a residential. I'm wondering if the 230V...

I had a full rewire and the electrician removed the MR16 12V IP65 downlights from the bathroom and replaced them with fireproof 240V ones. The problem is these, although LEDs, they are hard wired to a junction box in the loft and have no replacement bulbs. So does that mean that when the LEDs...

Hello, I'm buying this house that has that bath tap on the bathroom. How do you get access to it to remove it as I am not sure I can go underneath! Do I have to rip off the bath to do it as if you remove the panels you are blocked by the depth of the bath! Do installers believe that taps...

There was a water leak on the outside wall of a property we just bought due to having a polycarbonate roofing between the kitchen and garage which had really bad flashings. This has now been removed and external wall has been repointed for nearly a month now. internally I removed the...
