    There's one near me with KI55 RSR. Why you would want that I will never know.

    Bathroom Floor Material

    For tiles I'd use a decent cement board or nomoreply. Vinyl I'd use a 6mm plywood

    Why Are There So Many Lesbians Now?

    A few kids in my son's year group (y11) identify as random things, a few are gay, a few are non binary and one identifies as a rat

    What Checks Do You Do When Finding a Tradesman?

    If I am doing a large job that requires a lot of materials I ask for payment of those materials delivered to customers site upfront. If the customer refuses then I don't pay for them myself and the job won't happen. Trust goes both ways. There are dodgy customers out there too.

    Squeaking flooboards

    That's part of the problem, copper pipes at rads could be plastic under the boards Personally I'd never screw in blind, too much of a risk of hitting something. Having lifted many floors over the years it never ceases to amaze me some of the shocking cable and pipe runs I've seen.

    Squeaking flooboards

    The only problem with this approach is you don't know what's below, a pipe or cable could be there so it becomes time consuming as you have to lift some boards to check prior to screwing down. Usually this means cutting the tongue off

    Central heating 15mm

    Thousands of heating systems run on 15mm copper with no issues at all for years. What makes you think you need 22mm

    Why does one need a smart meter to turn down central heating?

    One of the latest adverts for smart meters I heard on the radio said it would help Britain be self sufficient and buy less gas from abroad. Totally don't get how that would work and will resist getting a S.M indefinitely.

    Hidden pipe radiator.

    That would be my thinking too, reduce the joints, reduce the leak options

    Hidden pipe radiator.

    Unless you specified you wanted it all as soldered copper then it's ok. Personally as it's gonna be hidden and under a floor I'd have used full soldered copper and had a bend rather than joint in the wall. Is it pressurised currently? Before you cover it I'd make sure it has water in it and...

    Core drill for bath waste

    Yes I've done at least 10 holes with the kit. Using an SDS go steady and don't force the drill, let the bit do the work. FYI my SDS has a clutch but still grabbed and snapped around.

    Core drill for bath waste

    I have that kit and it's been decent enough on any wall I've come across. I use it with a good core drill. Be wary with an SDS because if the bit bites and the clutch doesn't work it'll potentially damage your wrist. I upgraded to a core drill after my SDS snapped round whilst I was up a...

    Shower Tray drain hole

    You'd typically buy a tray and move the pipework to suit. Looks tricky in your situation as floor looks to be concrete.

    Remove shower frame to replace tile or attempt to seal up cracked tile?

    From experience if that cubicle has been fitted correctly you may find that more tiles crack trying to get the wall mounted channel off. I've never removed one without tiles cracking. Personally unless you want a big job I'd be tempted to run clear silicone and smooth over the crack.
