Yes i think they are the same, the bowl will attach to a stell frame which is included in the kit. The steel kit has four fixings, 1 in each corner that would be screwed into a wall. So as I cannot use my brick wall I'll need to make a small 6 inch wide partition. The fixings would then need...

Hi, i am putting in a wall hung toilet and because my existing waste pipe in the ground is too far from my outside wall, I need to build the wall out a small way. Its in an alcove and I only need to bring it out by 6 inches and only 1.5 metres high. My question is what size wood do i use...

I have removed an old toilet from my downstairs bathroom and on removing the bowl, the 'thing' that I think is called a flange which looks like its china or porceline, has cracked. Should I and how do i remove the flange. I will be putting in a wall hung toilet as a replacement so I'll have...

Hi, I have removed a toilet from my downstairs bathroom. I have removed the concreate that was around the pipe theat enters the ground but was a large amount of concrate under the toilet base. Can i safely use a jack hammer to bash away at the concreate without damaging the pipe in the...

Thanks guys, I found out what the problem is. The pipe is 32mm on the inside but 35mm on the outside so the material is quite thick. I have a push fit 32mm straight coupler but it will not go over the pipe. Will I have more luck with the compression fitting ? Thanks

Hi all, I'm having a go at some diy plumbing, and research as much as I thought to get the job done. My problem is I have purchased a new P trap which is 32mm. My waste pipe is however not 32mm or 40mm. It seems to be about 35mm or 36mm. I have cut out most of the old pipe, just have...

The ones on ebay are the ROCA kits and seem to be a good make. I'll have a go with one of these I think. Thanks

Yes I too thought the hole would be too far. I'm going to put a wall hung WC in with a steel kit. So I'll just have to put some battens up on the existing wall with some ply on them to build the wall out ? Then I could attach the steel kit directly to the new wall. I'm assuming that...

My existing toilet is concreated in at the base. Do I just take a large hammer to the concreate to remove it after smashing the toilet pipe ? Also, what type of connector will then go down the hole that it leaves in the floor ? The house is in surrey and built in 1975 Thanks

Whats the chance of me finding replacement tiles for the outside of my house ? Its for a timber frame extension that is clad in tiles. A couple have broken and now one is smashed which leaves me with a hole that I have temporary patched with tape. The extension is 10 years old i beleive...

thanks for ur advice woody, i'll be looking n jewsons or b&q for some of that stuff soon.

Would I be OK in getting one of those vapour permeable membranes from jewsons as it looks like that would do, although it would seem it was meant for roofs. Thanks

My house has a timber frame extension with tiles on the outside and i have a small damp problem inside near one of the corners. After taking off a few tiles near the ground level, I noticed that there is like a black material under the tiles, probably what keeps the water and rain off my...

Its going on concrete, I dont want to trust B&Q combi that i purchased, so i thought coz i have had a small damp patch before - hopefully cleared up now - I would put a damp proof membraine over the concreate base before the combi. I didn't want there to be any issues like the two damp proof...

Does anyone think I will have a problem laying an underlay which has a damp proof membrain on top of a damp proof membrain ? I already have purchased my underlay which has a thin damp proof membrains, but i want an additional layer of damp proof membraine, just to be on the safe side. G

I have taken up my old floor in my extension - which has a concrete base and in the corner of the room there is a damp patch, near the outside wall on the floor. Not on the wall just the floor. I have noticed it after some heavy rain and am waiting for more rain to see if i can see where...
