Anyone got a view on which are best? Are there problems with gravity type such as vent not opening enough? Do gravity ones really keep the cold air out or do they fix a problem that doesn't exist? Interested in your views!

(yes, rainfall, sorry missed that!) Its old old corrugated sheets. And loud, it really can't go any louder!

Hi, I currently want to re-roof my leanto and wanted to be as considerate as possible to the neighbours - so - which would be noisier, a polycarbonate roof or corrugated plastic? If polycarbonate is quieter - is there a difference in noise levels between the sizes? Ta, G

I'm getting my kitchen done - a small kitchen. That said, I like to keep my toaster and kettle on the worktop. If i put up some wall mounted cabinets, can I still run the toaster and kettle on the worktop underneath? Or does this become a big fire hazard/steam ruining wood situation? cheers

Thanks JW - a helpful and clear answer - I couldn't have asked for more! :D

Hey all, I am thinking of moving my bathroom fan about a metre further along my wall from the shower cubicle. It will all be outside of bathroom zones 1 & 2 (it's to accommodate some built in furniture). My question is - is this notifiable? i.e. is "outside zones" in a bathroom a special...

OK - my post was a little confusing. To simplify: Should I buy a shower mixer with 1/2 or DN15? What is standard in the UK?

Hi, I am in the process of installing a shower bath and have tentatively decided on the grotherm 1000 thermostatic bath/shower mixer (it has good reviews). On amazon I am finding 2 different options for purchasing - a DN15 fitting or 1/2. Does anyone have any experience with these...

Yeah, only planning on staying here for 3 years before moving out of the 'burbs - and the value will probably be higher if I leave it as is! this is an example of regulations and common sense not meeting

I would keep all bills etc separate with the exception of buildings insurance (i would declare it). However, the fire barrier could be an issue - I guess I could use a door but it wouldn't feel the same...

Hmmm...But surely if still 2 flats exist (dual status) then 2 would be fine - i mean all bills are being paid as well as council taxes! It would still be 2 flats..

Hi, Just looking for any advice and tips. I am thinking of living in 2 flats as if it was one house (the house was previously split into 2 flats). Now, I am happy to officially keep it as 2 flats (separate electrics/gas/etc - because i ) but was wondering if anyone knows of any other...

Hi, any experienced plumbers out there know what the Grohe Feel, Get, Start basin tap range is? Are they just renamed for the UK market? They are sold in screwfix and the sheds but none have been able to tell me any difference from the normal Grohe range. Grohe does not advertise them on...

Thanks Nige - really needed something positive! :)

Cheers, With regards to the swept tee, right or wrong, I think it was there because the waste coming from left to right in the photo is from a shower waste and there is Also a considerable fall between the tee and the soil pipe connection which presumably might help the high flow drainage...

Cool. Out of interest, why is the bossed in bit so awful? And any ideas plugging that hole? Cheers

Hmmm...if i dont smile I'll cry. The pipe i mention is the roughly cut section with the towel inside it...

Dan - that's disturbing, I am near TW and I understand the extension, where the bathroom is, was done in the late 70s.. Anyway, here's the picture dudes...enjoy! :( Not paid the plumber yet, who is asking for 60 quid but was a recomendation from wife's boss! Might be cheaper to pay...

Aaaaaaargh :evil: I wish I read your posts earlier! Went away for weekend and got family member to get plumber in to replace. They took the pipes out and installed a new 'bodge'!!! I will post a pic in the morning....have to decide now whether to leave the new bodge in or replace it...

Thanks Hugh! I have added a piccie - hope it is clearer. The leak is where that white inbetween pipe that connects the soil to the waste. I have no idea what that pipe is called :oops:
