Sorry. Should have also pointed out this came with a 90-110 connector. But the 110 end is obviously the same size as the pipe in the floor with no way to join the two?? Plus the offset issue

Hi I’m hoping someone can help me out as I’m a bit stuck I bought a wall hung toilet frame from grohe. I have an offset soil pipe. Although admittedly didn’t realise how offset it was until I stripped the room out. It’s a downstairs cloakroom so the soil pipe goes straight down and under the...

Hi guys. As per my other post I’m on with my cloakroom so got a couple of questions. I have a wall hung corner basin. Last time I hung one I think I drilled through the tiles after they were fitted to then hang the basin, is this right or should I be fixing the bolts then getting the tiler to...

Thanks appears I’m lying. The one I did upstairs is Gerberit. Perhaps I should learn to read properly have you any experience of other brands that are good? I was drawn to Grohe because I thought I had used that before and want one with access through the flush plate

Thanks can’t stud up to the ceiling as I’d lose too much wall. Was going to box the frame in and put a shelf on top. I suppose i could stud up to the frame and fasten that to both side walls and the back then bolt the frame to that. I have a tendency to over engineer things so hopefully that...

There isn’t any studs. If I remember right I think it’s a 2x2 frame around the outside then they fit 12.5mm on to one side. Then go round the other side and stick some 18mm on in the middle then fit 12.5mm on on the other side fixed to the frame and all dot and dabbed. I was wondering the same...

Yes I’m going to get a grohe frame. These are bolted to the floor but also two bolts into the wall. When I did my bathroom with one I bolted it to the outside wall. It was solid. my downstairs toilet is a internal wall. It’s not a stud wall, basically its 3 sheets of plasterboard dot and...

Hi guys, I am going to start ripping out my downstairs toilet. It’s a very narrow space and the wife wants a close coupled back to the wall toilet. This was ok until I realised the soil pipe that comes out the floor is offset. So offset that from what I can work out the toilet as a back to the...

Hi guys, I’m about to rip out my downstairs cloakroom. It’s a not so impressive 1.7m long by 0.7m wide. Anyway I have learned my limitations so will be paying someone to do the tiling. The current plan is to tile half way up in probably a white gloss metro with a dark grout. The top half will...

Thanks! will see how I go!

Hi guys, what’s the correct process for wallpapering a feature wall? the wall currently had a murial?! Of planet earth on it in the centre which is applied over a Matt blue emulsion. I did the planet earth quite a few years ago and whilst it’s stayed up it is coming off far easier than I would...

Hi guys, About 4 years ago I put some decking on the wall to hide the ugly wall. I applied some Cuprinol natural decking oil and it looked nice, been neglected for a couple of years so starting to look a bit shabby. We also live near a main road so get quite a bit of crap from cars coming into...

Hi guys. I have a 1.5 bowl sink. Hopefully the image has attached ok and you can see my pipes! the trap is on the 1/2 sink side. Not long after we had the kitchen done we started getting what I thought was drain smells coming up. This goes away when I push the plug down on the full sink side...

He see's ok, just fails to act or prevent. Anyhow i'm not alone and this forum has been a godsend this last few weeks, its allowed me to get on and sort things or at least find out how things should be done before I get blinded with science which some people like to do. Never again, ever!

Well anything to do with this small extension I have had done as been a nightmare, the common thread being the builder who has arranged and overseen everything. The nicest comment I could give him is that everything he has done has been badly organised. In fact, he only seems happy when he has...

Thanks, Apparently the tests were done but results not recorder as the builder told him a third party was carrying it out...……... I hate builders

Quick one, The electrician wired my electrics in my new extension. The builder apparently told him they would be getting inspected by a third party (due to a mix up). so he tested and never recorded the results. Anyway he's now coming back to do it, whats involved? I ask as I have since...

Thanks guys Balancing worked. I always thought they must already be balanced as the lockshields were all at different positions Also turns out I have 2 downstairs radiators where the lockshield valves are on the flow rather than return. So probably wasn’t helping much All sorted now I believe

Might also be worth mentioning. To get a 1900w radiator in the gap I wanted it to go in, there wasn’t much choice so ended up with an aluminium one. The spec on this says volume is 2.28 litres as opposed to the steel ones which were more like 18 litres. It was driven more by design than...

Going to start the balancing today. See what happens. Then speak to the plumber
