Thanks seco services I have managed to fit a new one now, and touch wood no leaking. In the end I had to use plumbers mate to seat the strainer that sits on the inside of the sink only. It was a tight fit underneath so couldn't really put any plumbers mate here. I'm hoping the flange and...

Hi I need to fit a new kitchen waste strainer and connect to waste pipe. I need something like this The old one had come loose from the bottom of the sink hole, and although it had a washer I was confused how it fitted to the bottom of the sink, as it didn't go through the sink hole and...

Just another quick one; The area I need to replace is 105 cm's across and 78cm's down. My joists are spaced approx 52cm's across and 39cm's down; Is it best to place one floorboard down i.e. the total length across or should you place one halfway across i.e. joist to joist so to speak...

Thanks - this will be strong enough to support the toilet? I just thought with the T&G boards I will still need one to be flat edged to fit next to the existing ones I don't need to replace and also flush against the wall? Can you buy T&G were one side is flat.

Sorry me again - I've measured the area that needs to be replaced - it's 3ft across (left-to-right) and 2ft 7" down (top-to-bottom) - Now I look at it, the original boards were actually placed down in squares. Would it be better to replace in strips across? Say 3 individual boards across...

Hi all - so I've taken up the carpet and peeled off some vinyl squares? off the top of the floorboards affected by the leak... This is a picture taken underneath the raised flooring from the adjacent bedroom ...and eventually the toilet which needs to be fitted onto the...

Hi thanks for your reply. Well you must be psychic because when I pulled the toilet pan away from the connector it fell through the floor a little - thankfully not all the way and I managed to pull it back up! You see the bathroom floor is raised a couple of feet above the main flooring and...

Thanks I will also need to find a replacement wood base that matches the shape of the bottom of the pan so it's a snug fit. It's about 1inch thick. Are there any ready made bases I can buy? Another elementary question I presume you have to remove as much water from the toilet pan as you can...

Hi all - I've discovered a leak at the point were the ceramic toilet waste pan connects to the waste pipe. I have to admit I have noticed it a little over the last week or two, but it was only drip-drip so I placed a bowl underneath the waste pipe. Tonight the situation appeared to...
