In a sense it's a pity - if we 'could' say it, to get a significant proportion of DIYers to heed advice to "at least do (easy/cheap) tests X, Y & Z, even though that would be enough to satisfy BS7671)", Missing "not" Could we not have a sticky that lists the full and correct tests that should...

Then the bath waste is not fitted to flow via the trap.

Which pipe is actually draining the basin? Which way is the flow meant to be? Is it from right to left on your photos?

There is some restriction after the tee. The bath water pushes air up the basin waste pipe and the pressure is released via the water in the basin trap instead of flowing smoothly and downhill.

Should be someone along soon to tell you exactly where to put it.

Before you deal with the cowl (the bit in green) remove the cross tap handle. Is there a retaining but under the top cover or a grub screw in the handle?

Tap handle stuck on splines. Pull harder or hit it.

Looks to me that John2 is linking to the Welsh version of the site. There is an option on the linked page to read Welsh or English version. Strange that they are different.

Presume you mean the basin and not the WC! Two incoming supply pipes 15mm (hot and cold) and one 21 mm outlet pipe. So what will happen if both taps are on full and the overflow comes into play when the basin fills? Up to you.

Thinking of the air around a former asbestos factory and what that has contributed to the ambient air I reckon that your relative to contribution could not be measured nor any trace found on your furnishings. Don't forget that asbestos was already only a small part of the artex and was partly...

The worry is totally excessive for an infinitesimally small risk of contamination. Even if you changed everything you own, would you worry about whether the replacements might have been "contaminated" from the factory or shop during its production? How much risk do you have to ignore during...

You are obviously worried but nobody can give you the absolute reassurance you want. If you have been exposed, what would you now be able to do about it and what benefit would you get from knowing? Is the ceiling even definitely an asbestos containing artex? Exposure does not inevitably, or...

But check if he is charging you for travelling time. :roll:

Google architrave or undercut saw. May suffice for your purpose.

Ask the surveyor that you wish to engage.

Make sure that you know where your outside stopcock is and check that it it will turn off, just in case you do manage to damage the stopcock supply. Hold the body securely with wrench or adjustable and then try moving it.

I can't see much call for a corrugated floor developing.

It looks quite ugly. Would not the first securing screw tear the back flap slit "thread" rather than tightening it up securely enough against the plasterboard?

Oh dear. Good job all the students dont browse these sites.

In this case the work is finished, so the customer is in the strongest position. This business of giving estimates to get the job, then calculating the real costs as it goes along leaves all the risk with the customer. Unless that is clearly explained then I don't see why a non-trade...
