    Looking for a toilet to fit over through-floor soil pipe

    A concealed cistern and floor mounted pan could be a option. I doubt you can get a pan to wall option with a 90 degree soil pipe connection. Pete

    Soil Stack Connection Problem

    You can get all diff sizes with diff manufacturers, floplast, Hunter, wavin the list goes on. Generally you only use an insert on a strap on boss so if the sleeve on your soil pipe is a good fit with a 40mm pipe or even a coupling if it is loose go for it. If you need any more encouragement...

    Cistern Lid Problem - dodgy bathroom installation...

    Possibilty of a few spacers behind the fixing screws will take it away from the wall enough to give the lid room to sit on the cistern. Pete

    Soil Stack Connection Problem

    Yes go for it big style my son. Offer up the 40mm solvent weld pipe to it and it should be a snug fit, if so core it out and weld it in. Pete

    Combi boiler condensate pipe moved outside - is this wrong?

    He may have thought it was an overflow warning pipe, remember he is just a lowly wet plumber like me and we have no idea about anything else except that the water turns clockwise down the bath waste, or was it anti clockwise I keep forgetting. :roll: Pete

    Small leak in Combi Boiler from hard water -have to replace?

    £600 supply and £150 to fit a combi boiler, bite his hand off and give me his number quick. A few contradictions in your post, Combis do not generally have cylinders apart from a few select which have an internal storage capacity. Do you mean a seperate hot water cylinder as if so then you...

    Moving a manhole

    It all depends on so many variables, access for machinery and waste disposal, size of sewer pipe and connections required, if full access chamber is required or an inspection cover. If it was completed the same time as the footings for extension this would be more economical. Pete

    Divertor

    Electric showers generally do not provide a strong flow rate so you may struggle with anything other than what the manufacturer provides or advises. Electric heating elements do not like any restrictions as the heat builds up in the exchanger and usually blows off the over pressure unit. I...

    Bathroom fan light combination

    100w bulb will kick out some heat which will cause the glass to implode if water splashes on it. Most units only have a 12v transformer supply to the light so you may have to look at led options. The inline fan can be any size you like we use Manrose MF range which are powerful and can be made...

    Cherry Pickers

    I completed my Nebosh exams a few years back and it was always taught that it was a Mobile elevating work platform so you should stay on board. If you were to step off then this would need a specific risk assessment completed. Have a look at this link for more info...

    Grundfos Pump running constantly

    3 port valve seems like the culprit with possibilty of the internal micro switch contacts stuck closed. The lever should have resistance with no call for heat or hot water. If it is moving freely the motor has energised and is holding the valve open for heat or hot water or both. Turn the power...
