Doh yeah of course on the long edge I will need noggins. I am trying to find some clips that can attach to the joist to allow me to hang the noggins off. A lot of the clips seem to go over the top of the joist which will be tricky as the half of the joist will have the other board on still so...

The boards are definatly 610mm wide and most likely 2440mm long as not one of them can I see start and end in this room - they all end in another room which is the problem. You mention noggins under the joists unless the joint finishes on a joist. I am planning of cutting out the old chipboard...

I need to change out some chipboard flooring in the bathroom as its rotten due to moisture. The joists are at 600mm centres and the current flooring is 620MM wide (not sure on the thickness yet). The problem I have is both of the boards that need replacing go all the way under a partition wall...

yes it’s around 7 years old the house

Ah ok thanks for clarifying better keep it then!

Thanks - no it’s my own property so strange it is there however there was a previous owner here before we purchased so maybe they required it. I’m thinking of changing the bathroom out so looking into getting rid of this and having a manifold supplying the basin, bath, shower and cystern from...

I’m just looking under my bath tub and have noticed there is what I think is an ideal standard brand mixer unit going off to the hot tap on the bath itself. The pipe on the right is the cold feed and on the left is the hot feed. The house has an unvented mains setup with a megaflo water cylinder...

thanks for that - I was getting concerned as it was pretty tight to get the insert in but I guess it’s better that way around than being too loose.

Just looking for some advice with this... I am moving my basin out temporarily in the bathroom and I have disconnected the hot and cold feed for the taps. The pipes feeding the basin hot and cold are plastic pipes with the dimensions 15mm x 1.7mm and it’s PB type. I need to temporarily blank...

Sorry didn’t drop that bombshell - behind the wall that houses the basin is the main electric meter for the house. This is why I want to go to the wall on the right in the picture to be sure I don’t go anywhere near cables and the box itself. Sleeved and sealed it is as well then when I go in...

I am looking at fitting an outdoor tap and taking the feed off the cloakroom cold supply. I don't want the pipes visible on the outside of the wall so thinking of chasing the wall out and then conceal the copper pipe behind this. Its only about 30cm worth of chasing before I get to the outside...

Seems to have done the trick - no more leaking into the pan

Yeah I have got one from local plumbing store as you say worth a try

The blue area is 70mm

I have a leak from my enclosed cystern labelled ‘fast part Conceala’ together with a pneumatic dual flush mechanism in the pictures below. The seal needs changing as I tried cleaning it and it’s still leaking water into the toilet pan. Problem is my seal measures 63mm across and the common one...

Thanks will have a look into those. I could try and free the pin up but it has burn marks around the plastic where the terminals are. As you say this one has a thread adapter that screws into the wooden frame. I will keep searching !

Im trying to get hold of the following plastic bayonet light fitting for a family members light unit. It’s from 1930s so is a really dated design - the plastic terminal fits inside a brass holder. I’m hoping you can just get the plastic inner to the brass holder in the photo below ...

Thanks for link really helped and will order a 20mm later on with the central drill bit for attaching them

Thanks will have a look into a suitable drill bit definatly don’t want it to tear will look a right mess and it’s really sharp

Thanks most of them are for wood but it’s really thin metal so should still go through.
