Can you install a socket in one of the cupboards either side?

Grateful for an extractor recommendation for a small GF WC and for an Ensuite bathroom. I have Manrose FF100Ts but these sound pretty noisy. I was hoping to get something that would be quieter. Thanks.

Hi, I have tails coming out of the wall that were set for a 500mm towel rad. However I have had a 600mm rad delivered (an they are on a 6wk lead time!). Is this a problem? Would we just put a 90-deg bend in each tail? What type of valve would then be fitted? Thanks.

Hi, do you have a photo from the other direction?

Hi. It is definitely possible. There are even companies that specialise in this. Have a look at this link for several options: https://www.remodelista.com/posts/ikea-upgrade-5-cabinet-fronts-for-the-ultimate-ikea-hack/

Thanks, that is reassuring as I would rather stick with what they have fitted. I specified Joule as I had hear that they were decent, I am happy if what is fitted is equivalent.

That was what was in the schedule of works for the full refurb. If quality/suitability is equivalent then I am fine with it.

I have a bit more info. They couldn't fit a 300, hence the 250. And they said that they always fit Gledhills and that they are a quality cyclinder Are Gledhills on a par with a Joule?

Any views on Gledhill v Joule for an indirect unvented cylinder? I was expecting to have a Joule fitted as part of a refurb but have seen that there is a Gledhill on site. Are these of an equivalent performance / quality? Do I have anything to worry about with Gledhill? Likewise, I was...

Presume these would be bedrooms. NB It may look a little weird having them glazed in frosted glass to meet PD.

What are the pros/cons of polyurethane coving? Is this ok to use, or a cheap alternative to plaster? i.e. https://www.toolstation.com/classic-coving-wt11/p48131 Thanks, Rich

Why? It would also be more expensive, and (IMO) won’t look better.

I can find a BSW rod but no Dome nut. How likely is it that a UNC rod will fit a BSW knob. Or that a UNC dome nut fitting a BSW rod? I read online that it is pretty likely, save some loss in strength. Which way round would be better: - BSW door knob > BSW rod > UNC dome nut - BSW door knob...

Thanks. The manufacturer has confirmed it is a BSW 516. So I now need to track down a 4" BSW 516 Countersunk bolt... [Of course I ordered an UNC dome nut yesterday.... which I can add to be unwanted list with the M6 bolt and the M8 bolt]

This is a pic of the bolt. The bolt goes through the front door from rear to secure a large door knob on the front. (Similar in look to Ian's, but with a different fixing). There is a decorative cap that covers the head.

Thanks again. On a new product, which is more likely UNC or BSW?

Thanks, that is really helpful. I reckon it is more likely to be 1.4. Is UNC the same as BSW? Any suggestions where do I get a 100mm/4 inch countersunk 5/16 bolt?

I can't seem to find a M8 1.5mm countersunk bolt needed to fit my front door knob. Story so far: The door knob came with a bolt, but at 70mm it is too short. So I ordered a 100mm bolt off ebay; which was the wrong diameter ! (I ordered M6 when I now think I need M8). So I ordered an M8...

Why are the eaves so high? 1m above the bifolds? Whilst you have reduced the actual eaves, I suspect the perceived overbearing of this design will be worse than sloping down to eaves over the bifolds.

What is the definition of 'non-opening' in planning law? How permanent a solution is required to meet planning requirements? Closed? Locked? Screwed closed. A pane/frame that doesn't open but is removable?
