Thank you for replying. I did not know the difference between Lino and vinyl. I am considering vinyl. Thanks for the advice re: sub floor. Clearly that needs to be sorted. Thanks again. Mutley56

Anyone?

Following previously posted bathroom flooring problems, I am thinking about laying a single piece of Lino directly on top of the porcelain floor tiles. These tiles are affixed onto 12mm ply board, which in turn is screwed onto a suspended timber floor. Original problem was movement of...

Thanks Andy, sorry for delay in acknowledging reply. i dug a lot of the offending weeds out and expect to do the same a few more times to win the war. Mutley56

Thanks EFLImpudence, all pipework is above ground. The repair is either on the flow or return pipe upstairs, I am not sure which as I fitted the clamps with pipes cold. Even if the clamps were not required, I presume that they shouldn't do any harm and so that is ok with me. Thanks again...

I read it on an emergency plumbing advice leaflet in B&Q only recently. So I followed Tue advice. I cannot answer your question Ban all Sheds as I have poor understanding of domestic electrics. Thanks again for replies. Mutley56

Thanks again for your replies. It wad repaired as an SOS job as I recall. I didn't look at the repair afterwards and so I imagined it was in copper like the rest of the pipework. Will ask for replacement if system is drained in the future. Mutley56

Thank you all for replying. There are earth clamps by the consumer unit and gas main and also by the gas system boiler so I guessed plastic repair interrupted earthing circuit. All pipework is In copper and so I don't know why repair wasn't in copper. All installed / repaired when my house wad...

Hi all, I had a leak on a 22mm copper pipe feeding the CH radiator circuit. The small leaking section of pipe was cut out and a repair was made using a plastic push fit type connection. No earth clamps were installed across the plastic repair and so I need to buy one to install. The...

Thanks for the advice Dan_Robinson, Do you use a small round / pig tail type metal file to clean the burr? Thanks. Mutley56

Hi there, I have 2 questions, which I hope you can answer: 1. If I cut the 15mm copper pipe feeding my kitchen tap using an automatic pipe / tube cutter (Screwfix 36198), will it leave sharp metal burrs at the cut edge that would need filing off? 2. Does the pipe cutter slide onto the...

Hi there, I cannot find a reference to the symbol found on the isolating valve at one end of the flexible feed pipe to my toilet. The toilet is mains fed. Is the isolating valve suitable for the WC and what is it called. Thanks for your replies. Mutley56

Hi sjp700, Sorry for the delay in replying. The grout was rock hard and had to be removed with a power tool and blade. I'm not exactly sure what was used. It was removed fairly quickly. No sharp edges were left. See picture for idea of what it was like before it was re-grouted. I hope...
