PS. I am moving the bath to a new wall so cant use the existing pipes for old bath

the cold water is at mains pressure (directly above the incoming feed into the kitchen). Does that mean 15mm is fine - but you would use 22mm from the cold water tank?

Hi I changed 8 windows in my house last year - and used those terrible people from the tele SafeStyle UK. I was really happy with the price (after a hell of a lot of negotiation and 2 hours later).... and they have done a really good job and they look excellent. However, at the time, i...

Excellent - thanks for the advice. Does it matter which way the plasterboard runs? i.e vertically or horizontally. Is either more supportive when you tile on top?

Hi I've seen a few similar posts on this forum but the answers seem to contradict each other so not sure which advice to go for so am asking my own question. I have just extended my upstairs bathroom and have created a new stud wall (between bathroom and bedroom) and blocked up the old...
