What gets me is that a lot of sellers are even mixing up metric and imperiial on the same product i.e 70mm flange and 1.5inch tail. Anyway that still doesn't help with my original question. Will a 73mm waste be suitable for a tray with a 70mm flange or are all shower trays basically the...

Hi, I fitted a shower trap that came with my low profile tray but when used the tray simply filled with water. I have plenty of space under the tray so am going to fit a normal P trap with a chrome waset that screws down onto it. The problem I have found is the differerence in flange...

Hi, I've got the basin as per this link: http://www.victoriaplumb.com/Arc_Bathroom_Suite_Range.html I've actually got the one with the pedestal but it looks like the wall hung one is exactly the same, apart from the pedestal of course. What would be the best way to attatch the basin...

Thanks for the link, some good information on the site regarding wooden floors and UFH. Has anyone any suggestions on a suitable kit for the underfloor heating, especially as I only need to cover an area of approx. 25m2 due to kitchen cabinets etc.

HI, I am in the process of considering the options for the heating system in a single storey extension 3m x 10m. The rear walls from my kitchen and dining room are to be removed to give an open plan feel to the extension. Ideally I would like underfloor heating in the extension area and...

Hi, I'm in the process of installing a new bathroom and want to lift the old tounge and grove flooring so I can lay 18mm ply readying for tiling. Has anyone any advice or tips on the best way to lift the flooring, its nailed down not screwed. I think they may have put the stud walls up...

Hi, I've just purchased a new bathroom suite and was looking at how best to connect the water supply to the cistern. The water supply is actually in the cistern rather than at the bottom like most toilets. There is a channel along the back of the cistern to run a pipe or flexible hose...

HI, Can someone tell me the name of the white sealent that is used on the UPVC edging strips. Its seems to cure hard and I think the name is something like Stelmak. Thanks

Thanks for the reply, is thre much difference in the comfort feel between the 9 and 11mm. I have concrete floors that get quite cold so was hoping the 11mm would be OK because of its better thermal properties but if its going to make the carpet look bad its not really an option.

Hi, I am about to buy some carpet underlay and I was going to get Cloud 9 Cumulus which is 11mm. I mentioned this to the shop where I am buying my carpet and they said 'I wouldn't if I were you, carpet fitters say its too thick and sits above the gripper' they recommended the Cirrus which is...

Hi, I'm in the process of re-decorating a room that was originally painted and then papered. Removing the wallpaper took half the paint off as well. I have managed to scrape the majority of the remaining paint off but there are certain stubborn patches that won't come off without serious...

Hi, I am in the process of planning a new extension and would like the rear was made up of glass sliding doors. I saw them on Grand Designs last night, they look like normal patio sliding doors but larger and they all slide down to one glazed unit. I think i prefer this design to the folding...

Its probably the copper pipes expanding as they heat up. When they were installed the cut-ot where they pass over the joists is probably not large enougth and they rub. If you can get access to where the banging is coming from (lift floorboards) you can make the cut-out larger and ensure theres...

Looks like the slope won't be a problem then. Is there any problem with putting in a 90 degree bend to get from the rear of the property to the side where I plan to put the soil stack.

Hi, I am considering options for an extension at the rear of my property. I want to move the soil stack from the rear to the side of my propery. The extension will be single storey with a pitched roof. I am hoping to run the wastes for the toilet, bath, shower etc from the existing bathroom...

I found the statement below on a carpets site terms and conditions. The thing is the shop I bought my carpet from has terms and conditons on the back of the invoice but no mention of carpet size tolerance. Due to their attitude I don't really want anymore to do with them. I paid with credit card...

Hi, I recently ordered a 4m width carpet and when it arrived it was actually 13ft. This wouldn't normally be a problem but my room width is 3980mm and the carpet was 3960, therefore too short. The fitters did a good job at stretching the carpet but I am not too happy how it looks at my door...

I actually want a hose, not just a connector. Thanks anyway.
