Unfortunately I cannot see any written details on them, I will try to get better photos tomorrow when it is daylight.

Do you think it could still be live? Though there is no record of any gas supply at my address when checking from https://www.findmysupplier.energy/

The windows are actually not sash windows, one of them tilts around the horizontal axis while the second one tilts around the vertical axis. One is easily removed, haven't tried removing the one that tilts horizontally.

Could anyone identify the pipe circled in red in the images below? I moved into a Victorian terraced house (from 1870); I only have electricity and intend on getting gas installed, and came across this pipe which is not the current water supply (which is supplied from a separate lead pipe)...

I was afraid it might be the case, I know someone who used a product Big Boy quite successfully, though the area I have to cover is not that small... I will think about it, to be honest I might have to go for that option since I haven't managed to get in touch with any carpenter in my area.

Thanks for the detailed answer big-all, do you think it would be possible for the repair to take place onsite? (i.e. without removing the window, the external can be accessed from the inside if the window is flipped around) I shall have the required budget to replace the whole windows in around...

Thanks a lot, very detailed answer and spot on! I called Scottish Water and they already sent me a form for a track inspection, they confirmed they will connect the MDPE pipe to the main stop cock for free. Last question if I may, according to the regulations I believe that both the gas and...

I have 2 wooden windows where the bottom bit (external only) is rotten, I am looking for a carpenter / joiner to get those repaired however I have not been successful finding someone who could help. Anyone can advise on the best way to get wooden windows repaired in the Glasgow area...

Hi all, I moved into a house with no gas, my plan is to get the gas installed by SGN, at the same time I would like to take the opportunity of replacing the main water pipe made of lead with a MDPE pipe. I have 2 questions: 1) I was advised to use a 25mm MDPE pipe, do stop cocks owned by the...

He is on holidays right now, and since I am going to Screwfix this evening I thought about asking on this forum to save me another trip.

Hi all, I purchased a new dual fuel cooker, I intend on buying a Cookerflex Straight Bayonet Cooker Hose 12.5mm x 1200mm pipe and Gas isolating valve for my Gas Safe plumber to install. However what do I need him to use between the valve and the gas pipe? I assume a kind of converter would be...

Just wanted to thank everyone for the advice I was given, diynot.com is my favourite forum! I was a bit worried to make a mess cutting off the pipe to remove the original solvent welded pan connector but that was the right thing to do. Ended up using a flexi pan connector to address the offset...

Thanks all, I have now a plan of actions! Since the height of the soil pip on the wall might slightly different than the one from the wc spigot, wouldn't it just be easier just to get an "all in one" device such as? https://www.toolstation.com/flexible-pan-connector/p44832 I read flexi one...

Nope, an old one

Thanks, that’s interesting, I never heard from those Multikwik extension "A", are those reliable? Can’t find them from Screwfix nor Toolstation, will need to order online...

It is a solvent welded pan connector, I cannot remove it. If I cut it at the base, I won’t have enough pipe to fit a push-in pan connector as it would be to close to the wall. Can a solvent welded pipe be cut along the length and then removed?

Thanks for the quick reply, very much appreciated. I will post a photo of the pan connector as soon as I can, it looks like I will have to cut the front bit with a saw...

Hi all, I have a small leak at the back of the toilet, basically the rubber seal on the pan connector does not do its job. I am intending to do a quick repair before replacing the pan connector by using some Plumber's Mait (putty) as described from: I just want to make sure how to apply it...

Hi all, I need to install a new gutter and replace its down pipe (circled in red in the attached photo). However since I already have a waste pipe (circled in green), I wanted to know if I could simply decommission the down pipe and connect the new gutter to the 110mm grey waste pipe; I...
