yeh the repair coupling slips over the pipe so as long as you can pull the pipe down to get it over, you don't need any give in the pipe from left to right

looks like the spout would definately pull out... although is it worth all the effort you're going to, look how grubby it is! just change the tap :lol:

Hi all, As above, the n/s door won't unlock. It unlocked recently for a few days, now its refusing. I can pull at the interior handle, but this doesn't unlock it, and I can't see a lock catch to pull at as an interim method of opening it. It's still under warranty, so I suppose I want...

Hi all, went to look at some pub toilets today, landlord reporting irratic supply to cisterns and cold taps. Checked CWSC on roof, which was full and ball valve working fine. Looked at one of the float valves on the toilets, and as one was filling you could see/hear the water surging (high...

Does anyone know where I can pick up 150mm double action hinges...on a saturday (not sure if Travis do them), all screwfix / toolstation / B and Q seem to have is 102mms....

Hi all, Hope this is the correct forum. I need to replace a metal handrail which is currently running along side 3 big steps. Height is currently 1200 and it runs 1300 from the wall. It runs straight along the top step for about 400mm then curves down so it runs along the gradient of the...

angle grinder! of course!!! Cheers 8)

400mm between joists, but there's RSJs running perpendicularly to the wooden joists. It's pretty f'in tight! I have a torch and a 22mm spring....

Hi all, Looked at a leak today, on 22mm running in a basement (in a pub). The pipe runs along the ceiling (which is actually the ply subfloor for the room above). It runs through several notched joists and is tight u against the ply. The leak is of course on the top of the pipe. Taking the...

Hi all, I do a lot of maintanance in pub kitchens, and I sometimes have to replace damaged skirting tiles (the old quarry tiles that have a curved bottom). The job I have at the moment - I need to replace 2 x skirting tiles and a "corner" skirting tile. In the absence of new skirting tiles...

Attention to detail = Nil Pois.

yeh, this time, and this time only, I silconed down the pan :((

The L Bracket was nowhere to be seen :( Cheers for that though. 8)

In my neverending pursuit of knowledge, I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on these 2 circumstances that vexxed me this week: 1) why do half inch fibre washers sometimes refuse to fit onto the seating of tap connectors? - I changed a ballvalve on a CWSC this week and thought I'd...

Hi all, Currently using my phone's built in satnav, and it's getting tedious. Is there a unit out there that does SatNav AND camera detection (with user updates for mobile sites etc) ? Integrated multimedia (via SD card) wouldn't be too bad either!! Cheers :)

Mark and cut the flush pipe so that it will fit in the pan and syphon (making sure you allow enough pipe so it sits all the way in the pan and all the way up the syphon thread). I find it easier just to push the pipe all the way into the pan first, then untighten the cistern screws so you...

i asked a similar question a while back. got a bosch blue sds. never looked back 8)
