Hi. Just moved into a flat and I want to remove the fixed side of this shower screen and clean away the mess you can see at the bottom between the glass and trim. I presume I just remove the two silver caps and unscrew, plus remove the silicone bead at the bottom. Any tips on preventing a...

I'm confident I can do that. Just two remaining questions: 1. Why not Toolstation? 2. What's the difference between these two trap types?

Would there be any benefit from really shortening A, B and C as much as possible, before connecting the new trap to C, then using one of these flexible connectors between the trap and D?

The bit of the suggested reconfiguration I'm still unsure about is how to shorten A, B and C and still be able to connect F to D.

OK I see what you mean. I can fix that for me and him.

Something like my son's tidier configuration?

All of that makes good sense. I just need to understand exactly how to do it. The simple bit seems to be replacing F with the trap you've recommended. I understand shortening A and B, and possibly C and D too, but not clear on how to direct to the back of the cupboard to create space. As for E...

Here's the pipework under the kitchen sink.

One thing I have noticed about the building is the only visible external pipework is rainwater drainpipes and gas supplies. There is no visible waste water pipework. I don't know if this is because it's a listed building or just how the conversion contractor chose to do it. From what I can tell...

Thanks. I appear to have opened a can of worms with this thread. All I asked was how to cover the messy looking hole around the pipe :LOL:

I'll take a photo of the sink plumbing tonight and perhaps you can advise on which bits to replace and with what parts.

I live in a flat in a converted mill. I think all that was left were the external stone walls and slate roof. The internal is all new build. It's a strange layout and I don't fully understand it. It's over 3 levels. I have the ground floor. My neighbour had the 2nd floor. We share the first...

Unfortunately not

I live in a flat and can occasionally hear gurgling under kitchen sink when I've not been running any water. What might the cause be and, apart from the mild annoyance, should I be concerned?

I don't understand.

It is my place but I don't have any idea where the waste pipe runs and can't feasibly start randomly knocking holes in walls to trace its path. The toilet in a first floor room, so even with the little I know about plumbing then that pan connector must be connected to 110mm rigid pipe within a...

Well as long as I can't see or smell the "sediment" then I don't care.

I'm not sure how a rigid plastic one would fit snug against the wall and skirting.

I agree. I'm just looking to tidy it up.

Yes I suspect you're right about the fitter.
