Your hallway etc looks so similar to how ours was before we started, from the brass handles to the sapele wood doors... We also have some thermoplastic tiles down (the whole of the ground floor) which we had tested - and they contain asbestos. We were told we could remove them ourselves as they...

Excellent, thanks very much :)

He implied they are ****?! Thanks, but two things: One, would this give me the height i need - this one says 40mm, but i need 120mm Two, would i still need a length of pipe to push into the socket as mentioned above? Thanks

Thanks, that was actually going to be the next question! This is my worry, and one of the reasons i dont want to use one!

I'm not familiar with orthographic projection, sorry. Its still in a straight line though, not sure a plan view is needed?

Plan view is from above? If so, the toilet is in a straight line with the soil stack, but about 12cm higher I'm not sure how this would work? The toilet is in a straight line with the soil, but 12cm higher. Isnt a standard pan connector also straight? Do you mean, one 135deg connector, then...

Thanks both

Ok, all makes sense, i'll get it sorted. The roofs on these houses werent done properly at all, the flat roof slopes back towards the house for one, and as you say the detailing at the edges is more than likely rubbish on all the windows. I shall get outside and put some extra sealant in the...

Ok, thanks both. Was i wrong to put the silicone in between the lead and window then?! Should i have just pushed it tight against the window and left it at that? No other sealant at all? Can i seal this with a bit of silicone or not? Thanks again :)

Ok, pictures as requested: This show the window from outside, so the wall underneath the window is thermalite as noticed earlier, and the wall to the left is timber, the wall surrounding the window is timber frame (hence my confusion)IMG_20171001_073220 by jmallows posted 1 Oct 2017 at 7:50 AM...
