I had exactly the same problem with a 50quid 'bog in a box' which i got from a local pluming shop. Bit of a ball ache but I took it back to the shop and got a new one. This now works perfectly. Not being a plumber I was worried I was doing something stupid but turned out to be a faulty...

Hi all, I've got a Triton handwash (for hot water in a granny annex). The other day I turned it on and it tripped the RCD and the water started coming out of what I believe is the pressure relief outlet. Do any of you have a copy of the manual for it or know what the issue may be? I've...

I spent an hour with a chisel before throwing it in the garage and popping down to the local hire center! It cost me 52 quid for a diamond core and sds drill. Amazing how easy it was. Butter and knife spring to mind. Most expensive hole in the house!

I need to create a hole for the extractor fan in a downstairs toilet. It is a 4" pipe and it has to go through a single brick thick wall. I've looked at those diamond tipped core drill bits and even to hire they are going to cost about 30quid for a day. Do any of you just knock through...

I've just has a Valliant Ecotec boiler installed (combi). Can someone tell me the size of the white output pipe? I think it is the condensing output - basically goes to a drain. Also can you get a connector to make it fit down the waste bit of this...

Not sure if this should be in building, electrical or plumbing so I'll try electircs! I'm in the process of building a small down stairs loo. It will contain only a toilet and a sink. There is no window so do I need an extractor fan? I.e. is it law? Many thanks, Chris

Thats great! I've done this now but surely it needs some sort of sealant as well? I can't believe that it will be watertight without putting something on it.

Hi, My Servis washing machine has started to drop water on the floor! I've taken the back off and it is very obviuos that some sort of sensor has become de-attached from the drum. You can see from the pictures that the foam washer type thing is still attached to the drum but the sensor has...

Hole and sensor

Are there any meaurements I can take to check for electrical safety? I've got a decent multi-meter and am quite confident in its use so is there anything you can suggest?

Thats great. At least I don't need to get it changed. I'll stick with the 15amp fuse wire. I was worried about the cable getting hot and catching fire or something but looks like I could be safe!

As far as I can remember (I'm at work now) it is all fed off 1 spur which is off the main downstairs ring. This is protected by a fuse with 15Amp wire in.

We have quite recently moved to a Victorian cottage. As far as I can tell the front room and kitchen sockets are all fitted in a traditional ring on the same fuse. The trouble is that the dining room and utility room sockets are all fed off of a spur, thats 5 double sockets and 1 single...

Cheers chaps. I like the idea of putting an electric heater in there but isn't that a bit of a waste of money? How expensive would it be to heat what is just a cupboard?

I've just had a new combi boiler fitted which now means that my airing cupboard is empty and no longer hot. Anyone got any ideas as to what I can do with it? Sensible ideas only please!!! Access is through a large door which is 3ft off the floor so you can't actually walk into it. It's...

We've only got 1 shower.
