Okay - probably adaft question but a little paranoid about the soil pipe.... I am replacing an early 80's toilet and whilst that is fine I am a little confused about a suitable connector to the soil pipe.... the exisiting set up is built into the wall and I am not sure if it is a suitable...

I had exactly the same problem (water used to actually run down the timber). I used Polycell Mould Killer spray and with the ventilation tiles fitted its been fine since.

That is great - thanks

Hi, Sorry this question is similar to others raised.... I am laying a bathroom floor on the exisiting chipboard. It is fairly level but I was going to put 12mm external ply down and put 3mm vinyl tiles over that (with a thick layer of adhesive, not the ready glued type). Just checking...

Hi, Excuse if this topic has been raised before, but I've seen a couple of different answers..... I am moving the sink to a new position in the kitchen, but this will mean running the waste pipe being the counters, including a built in oven (in a standard oven housing). Getting it to...

Hi, Sorry, if this question is a bit basic but I'm paranoid :oops: I was replacing a spotlight in the kitchen and there were two cables present that had been joined using a connector block to a single flex that led to the light fitting. So, Two live (red) two neutral (black) and two...

Hi, The loft cold water tank of the house I've just moved into has no lid, or insulation. I am not sure why as it doesn't look that old - being a 50 gallon, plastic retangular type. However, trying to find a replacement lid is driving me crazy as this seems to be an odd size :x . 45"...
