    Don't take it on the chin. It is not your fault. They are trying it on.

    Can gas pipe develop crack on its own?

    It's possible that when you disconnected the cooker you disturbed a joint but if the joint had been correctly made in the first place you would struggle to put enough mechanical force on it to damage it. They are talking hogwash, tell them that you are not willing to pay for a problem which...

    Connecting bidet spray to mains pressure

    No but accidents happen. Most people don't deliberately drive there nice shiny cars into the back of the one in front but it happens. The water regulations are there for a reason. It is to protect the water main from contamination and prevent wastage.

    Connecting bidet spray to mains pressure

    It is no greater risk than a shower hose or extendable sink tap hose or any other hose when they are not fitted in accordance with the water regulations. The issue comes with the fact that as a bidet shower it will be designed to be used over a toilet pan which is a fluid category 5 risk. If the...

    Tiling disaster....didn't even get as far as the DIY....

    There's normally a notice advising people to ask for assistance with heavy items. Someone handling an item without the correct PPE will normally result in any compensation claim being massively reduced anyway. It makes me cringe when I'm in one of the sheds and people are moving heavy...

    Fitting a soil pipe through a joust

    This forum is not the correct place to be asking how to do the work. You need a structural engineer to advise on how to safely carry out the work. When you and your neighbours start to get structural cracks using "an internet forum said it would be okay" isn't going to stand up as an argument...

    Shower leak

    Your husband is correct. Most shower enclosures should be sealed all of the way round the outside and down the sides inside but leaving the bottom inside free of silicone to enable any trapped water to escape.

    which pressure booster pump will work.
