Thanks for your reply's . I'm doing what you said to eliminate the boiler first, then the pipe work then the rads. I'll let you know the results. Thanks

Hi, my combi-boiler has started losing water pressure on the CH. I have just done some alterations with some rads but the pressure does not keep up. There appears to be no leaks any where, including the news ones & old connections. The PRV is not leaking or any visible leaks from the boiler...

If there were a coin or some thing stuck behind the drum why would that cause it to bang around?

Hi, the washer is only about 1 year old & to be honest it was like that from new. I thought it might have been us putting too much in but it is a 7kg load machine & it does bang around even with little washing in it. It seems to me that the cloths are not balanced out so this is causing an...

I have this washing machine & just wanted to know if other owners have the same problem as me. The drum, when on the spin cycle, is very noisy. The drum seems to bang around alot as though the drum was loose. I've had a look in the back to see if any thing has come off but it had 2 springs on...

Hi, what about ventilation. It has an opening window at present.

Hi, are there any room size regs for a new downstairs toilet? Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the replys. The floor is a concrete slab. The inner blockwork is level with the slab level at the moment. So the best thing is to remove a course of the inner blockwork, visqueen, then fill in the whole cavity upto the outer brickwork. Hope my answer is clear.

Hi, I am building a new extension & need some advice please. I have used the insulated plastic cavity closures on the vertical openings but what is advised for the horizontal opening at floor level, 3m wide? Thanks.

hi, yes it's a good 50-75mm in past the seal.

Hi, I'm fitting a toilet in en-suite & just having a little problem. The finned flush pipe seal which goes in to back of the pan has a small dribble leaking from it. I've tried re-seating the seal, adjusting pipe angle into seal but to no avail. Any trick i'm missing? Thanks.

Hi, yes it will be connected by a gas fitter but I'm just trying to find what are the regs regarding the actuall flue outlet ie height from floor/windows ect.

Hi, I'm might be getting a gas fire with a balance flue. Can some body please tell me what the requirements are for the flue outlet & its output is 7KW does it require a room vent? Thanks, Andy

Thanks for all your help........but the last question...honest. If the fan is located in the loft does it still require a 3 pole fan isolator switch outside the room. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the replys. I have a 'inline' extractor with a shower light. The light is a 12V bulb connected by PVC hose to a 240v fan mounted in the loft. Is this OK?

I need a extractor with a light for my en-suite shower. It will be about 2.15m from the shower floor so I've been told that it must be a 12V extractor. Now does that mean just the light needs to be 12V or also the actual fan, which will be mounted in the loft area. Thanks.

No work in existing kitchen or bathroom. Just adding to both existing lighting & ring mains. Any special requirements for the loo? Thanks for your help :lol:

Sorry, yes its a 'B32' trip fuse for the ring & yes the lights will be connected to the existing lighting circuit protected by a 'B6' fuse. No kitchen or bathroom but a downstairs toilet with a single light switch on the outside of the room.

The ring is protected by a 'R32' MCB & a 80A RCCB. Will a 'qualified' sparky need to certify this for Building control? Thanks, Andy.

I'm wiring my single storey extension & would like some advice please. The 2.5mm ring main cable is to be conected to extend the existing ring main. The cable cliped to the breeze block wall, covered with PVC capping & then covered by 'dot n dab' plasterboard wall. Is this ok? Thanks, Andy.
