Don't tile under the tray, it needs to be on cement/18mm ply etc. I do what Graemevw does with the diamond wet wheel cutter (£40 job from B&Q will do). Just keep slicing and filing and offering up to check.

Wow thats one long night, has he finished yet?

Interesting thanks, I was swaying towards the Bosch. What about the input wattage/power output wattage I'm still confused, is it the manufacturers making it look more powerful than it actually is like when buying speakers, eg RMS/PMPO etc.

I've been looking at these for a few months now and last thursday decided to get the Makita 8406 from Plumbfix thinking it would be delivered the next day. Disapointingly it wasn't and found out I had to wait until today (29th) for delivery. I waited for Parcel Farce all day but nothing, I'm...

Wow you guys must use some serious screws, I've been on the same Dewalt bit for about 8 months! 2-3 bits per JOB!

I know this may sound a silly question going by what it smells like but can someone confirm what it actually is? I've searched google and this forum but cannot find an answer. I did find that its still quite comman in the US though? :oops:

I think we've been left wondering what happend... :(

Is the basin near the toilet? Last time I had this problem customer swore blind it was from the toilet but was infact coming from a crinkled washer in the anti siphon basin trap vent.

Anti clockwise is the right way to remove, if the socket is a good fit and it doesn't slip then its not being given enough force. 9 times out of 10 a Bacho adjustable gets them off.

Thanks for the advice! Thats all I needed to know, I'd tell them they'll need to access it from the dressing room and I'll build a stud wall to seperate the whole thing from the shower room.

Hi all, First time I've posted on here, I'm a plumber who has been asked to turn a downstairs utility room into a shower room with shower enclosure and basin, no bath. The utility room is to be split into a shower room and a dressing room The consumer unit is in the corner of what will...
