The stopcocks fully open, but I thought it may cause a restiction as it wont be as free flowing as the original piece of 1" pipe thats been cut out.

The stopcock would only have to be removed and a straight coupler put in it's place to put things back as they were. Reading between the lines I think the plumber left the stopcock in place so he didn't have to work on it live. I've added a picture to make it clearer.

Been round to see neighbour but not in so had a look at what he had done. He's fitted an access cover tube over the stopcock the plumber fitted to my supply pipe but I'm not happy as my water pressure seems down a bit and surely an extra stopcock will cause a restriction. I don't want to...

I going to ask him today to put it back to how it was as you've said I didn't think he was allowed to put a stop cock on my supply then cover it even if it is on his property. The plumber cut into the lead mains pipe live according to neighbour so I guess he would have to do the same again...

Believe me I really felt like doing just that at the time. :x

My next door neighbour had a plumber round today to break into what he thought was his incoming supply . Very annoying as I was in the shower at the time and thought something had gone wrong with it not realising the cold supply had been cut off for quite some time after I had checked out the...

Could I not just use wall grout for the floor or will it cause a problem. The only tile shop locally is Topps and from what I've read are not very knowledgeable, I will go have a look and see what they say. Where's cheapest online for lithofin and is stainstop mn the one to use.

How many 50w gu10 ip65 fire rated downlights should be installed in a bathroom 2.6m x 2.1m. There will also be 8 single white led deck lights installed more for effect than to give out light. When funds allow I will replace the gu10 50w halogens with deltech 5w led gu10s so with this in mind...

Hopefully next week will be starting to lay 24s qm of classic honed and filled travertine 610mm x 406mm 12mm thick on the walls and floor with a mosaic border in my bathroom but unsure about a few things. Which is the best pattern! I originally was going to do brick bond with 2mm spacers but...

So 10mm halfmoon will be ok for the walls as well as the floor.

The tiles I'm thinking of buying are 610mm x 405mm and are 12mm thick, so rexon should be ok. I'll hope your'e correct I'll have a measure today.

Just realised the tile cutter I bought a rexon rtc200a doesn't have enough stroke for 610mm tiles according to toolsave website it will only cut 330mm is there anyway I could use this cutter or do I have to buy another with a longer than 610mm stroke.

Wife has chosen 610mm x 405mm classic travertine tiles but I'm a bit apprehensive about laying such large tiles, I had originally suggested 457x305. I have dot and dabbed on new moisture board and it's almost perfectly flat, I've also tanked the shower and bath areas with homelux membrane so I...

I need to tank 2 sides of a shower enclosure 1m each side but not sure how high I should go and around a bath on the side and end, the bath is 1.75m x 0.7m. Will the balwp1 kit have enough product to cover these areas or is there any alternative kits that will definitely do the job.

My hot water pressure on the downstairs taps is low especially in the toilet sink which is the furthest from the tank its fitted with a grohe mixer tap. My hot water system is the conventional cold tank in the loft which is as high as I can get it with indirect cylinder on the landing feed by...

The travertine tiles weigh 3.6kg each and there are 7 to a meter which works out at 25.2 per sq M so even if I allow 4kg for adhesive and grout I will be well within 32kg per sqM. I think BAL must be talking about the granite or something as travertine is much lighter.
