So a drain that runs right at the back along both houses is a lateral drain? Incidentally, would the fact we are in Scotland make a difference?

Already been tried unfortunately.. :cry:

Thanks for the advice, but would the water authority deal with a drain under a house?

Hi, I have a partially blocked drain under a neighbours property, which used to be a communal drain that ran along the back of both our our houses before our extensions were built. Dynarod came out and said it looks like a bit of plastic guttering in the drain or something similar but...

Ok, I got the MKEB which fitted perfectly and some plumbers mait. I'll wait until i get the toilet before buying the pan connector. Thanks for the help.

Ok, i've remeasured it, The outer edge of the pipe is 118mm, inside to inside, the inner pipe, inside to inside is 92mm as near as damn it. I cut a sheet of paper, 92mm and 95mm wide, the 92mm rubbed the edges, 95mm was just too big. Would this not mean the MKEB is the better fit for the...

Hi all, I recently ripped out my toilet as i was getting a bad smell in the house every so often that seemed to be coming from here. I found that the existing toilet pan connector seemed to be a misfit and had been silicon gelled into place The soil pipe appears to be cast iron, however...

I dont think i have a Drain cock on the system, i cant find one anyway. I think i'll ask the plumber to put on on as well unless he can find one. Thanks for the advice about the PRV though, good job i checked.

Hi All, Can you let me know if im OK in doing this? Im about to add Sentinel X400 to my heating system due to a sludge issue. I then intend to leave it for 4 weeks before turning off the boiler then opening the bleed valve in my top most radiator and opening the pressure release valve...

Hi again, i just wanted to add that i put in the Fernox, last night and topped up the pressure then bleeded the top radiator again although i think i may go round and test the rest. However i noticed that between myself topping it up and the misses having a bath the reassure dropped by about...

Wow, Thanks for the info guys, excellent stuff. The Magnaclean looks like a great product, the only issue is the "simple DIY pluming", im not really that confident about doing this to be honest, dont get me wrong i'd be happy to give it a shot but never having done this before, being...

Thanks When the radiator is isolated and draining the water runs clear to begin, near the end of draining though it starts to run black. Then after unmounting the radiator and flushing through with a hosepipe a lot of black, dirty water was produced. This is on the raditator at the top of...

Hi, Thanks for the reply, does the method for using the Fernox i suggest sound correct? An if not BG who would you recommend? What type of companies would do a power flush? I have a plumber who lives around the corner is he worth a try? As for balancing, no its not been checked and...

Hi All, I have a Worchester Highflow 400 boiler which is losing pressure of around a bar every couple of weeks. I have wooden and some tiled flooring on the ground floor where i suspect the problem may be (as i can see nothing on ceilings anywhere) and would at least like to try this stuff...
