    Drainage Query

    Thanks evyxmsj I should probably clarify boundaries/intentions here. Muddy trench is mine, wall is mine, part fence w/neighbour is mine, and the wall/fence will be coming down in order to erect the outbuilding on/very near to the boundary. In light of this: Would it technically be...

    Drainage Query

    Hi, I'm looking to drain my garden/swamp in order to 1) use it outside of summer! 2) replace a prefab garage and wasted space with a a proper outbuilding/workshop (red spray paint, approx 50m^2 so subject to BC) under PD. The garden is the lowest point in the area and runoff from...

    High level remote cistern query

    Those were my thoughts too - but I didn't want to be the first to run the experiment only to find that it turned the toilet into some kind of hydraulic powered turd firing siege weapon... :lol:

    High level remote cistern query

    Hello! Tiny downstairs toilet. Can you high level mount a remote cistern that's sold for low level mounting? Specifically, could you pop this one in a cupboard at ceiling level and run the pipe down the inside of an internal stud wall...

    Waste Disposals

    Aye, but dispels the myth of it always being a bad thing. ;) Hey! We cooked too... On the plus side, it comes with copious quantities of ruddy hot water, followed by a rinse in even more hot water, which I think outweighs the filler in the dishwasher detergent. Aside: auto-dosing...

    Waste Disposals

    Better qualified Dan. You don't like working on downstream plumbing, which you have known to clog, and you can't see the point in the device. Understood. However as the parents have never had trouble in 30 years it isn't a concern of mine. We're not the type to rinse fat/oil/grease down the...

    2 radiators blistered within days

    PiipeLife sell a variety: -non barrier pipe for Polski versions of Wickes/B&Q that only carry the cheapest of the cheap and useless for anything other than pure UFH with a stainless HX and a good dollop of biocide, but prevents sales going to the Chinese -PEX barrier pipe suited...

    Waste Disposals

    -because I've not seen any model other than an ISE Badger in person -unlike the amount of diesel chewed by bin trucks, methane spewed by landfills, or investment not made by sewage firms, nobody has completed and published the research for you -I've no shame in admitting as such and asking...

    Waste Disposals

    Nothing like answering the question, eh? :roll: "Sorry, I've no clue but I don't like working on the things when hooked up to drains with inadequate fall/flow" doesn't sound clever enough or what? FWIW, HM Govt haven't done their numbers on food waste disposals yet. Binning food is...

    Waste Disposals

    I've had the rats with bits-of-food-in-sink and would like to fit a disposal unit. Various flavours are available from 60 quid upwards: http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/kitchen-waste-disposal-by-4064-0000 All will handle lettuce leaves. Will the cheapies handle carrot ends, broccoli stalks...

    Becoming a corgi registered boiler engineeer

    Look into the RHI / MCS mess. Those earning the real money will be the crooks promising customers the earth/recommending ridiculous products (anybody punting "thermodynamic solar" as RHI eligible falls straight into this category) but there's also scope for some good business there. Solar...

    WEATHERPROOF IP66 SWITCH IN BATHROOM

    April fools aside, IP66 is actually tougher to meet than IP68 according to a lighting designer friend of mine. IP66 means pressurised jets, and the dynamic pressure exceeds the static pressure that they test to for IP68. A wheeze when products failed IP66 tests was to submit them for IP68 tests...
