What he said. Get that sorted before it fails in the middle of the night and makes you an unwanted indoor water feature.

The point is that you (as a DIYer) may have missed a solution that is immediately obvious to a professional who has encountered the same problem many times before... Uploading pictures and/or providing more detail may help you in the long run.

You'll do more damage with an electric heat gun as you'll have to hold it there for longer. Use one of these: https://www.screwfix.com/p/monument-soldering-mat/45563 ... and a blow lamp. 8mm will flow in no time at all.

Other way around. The red gate valve stops the hot water leaving the top of the cylinder. You have a 2-in-1 hot water cylinder which has a cold water cistern stacked on top of it. Called a fortic cylinder. The 'waist' a third of the way down the cylinder is the point at which the cold cistern...

Pretty soon, waste water is going to start overflowing out of the washing machine if you leave it like that. Waste water works on gravity. ;)

It's grey. Just a crap camera. :LOL: Thanks all!

Thought I'd post back the results... all by my hand, save for the window which was done by a local guy: Still not entirely finished, but I'm happy with the results so far. Will try and find some 'in progress' shots at some point, and upload those.

The tile adhesive both supports and fixes the tray in position. The silicone is to prevent water seeping down between the wall/beneath the tiles and the tray. It doesn't have any structural properties as such.

It's another pan connector. It would have taken an S-trap toilet at one point, which was then replaced with a P-trap toilet, hence the need for the second pan connector. Potentially not changed at the time as it's likely to be solved welded to the soil pipe beneath.

Yes and yes. But not enough to make any noticeable difference.

It'd be the same on both. The shower is the bottleneck.

No, but with a smaller bore you have less cold standing water to run off before you get the hot to the outlet.

It's a plume diverter. It's supposed to point upwards.

You'll need to find your machine's model number to stand any chance. It's normally a long string of letters and numbers beginning with W. Once you've got that you can go on the Bosch website and download your manual.

Unfortunately not. Straight down is the only option. The slate isn't a bad idea. Doesn't surprise me. I think most things were done by the previous owner with little regard for the rules. Only consolation is that sewage is unlikely to ever back up that far as there's a bottle gully for the...

That'd be some seriously high flying turd!

I mean benching as in the sloping concrete sides of the manhole. That is what it's called, isn't it? And yes, there is a cover. I just removed it to take the photo.

Not sure if you're being serious or not?...

Afternoon, We've recently had a loft extension built which has added a WC on the second floor where there wasn't one before. As a result, the waste seems to enter the manhole with a lot more gusto than before due to the extra height, and we're getting waste fouling the benching opppsite. At...

Double stack the Talon spacers. :)
