Triedd that. Took all bulb out and put new one in. Also, its one normal ceiling rose not working too.

Not the best on electrics. Two gone at the same time... One is a standard bulb the other a halgen bulb type fitting. I understand the wiring goes from one to the other. Is it possible that one faulty fitting will cause the next one to stop working? If its the next one in the chain or...

Yes I know what you mean. Stud it is with the rail. I take it no issues if is screwed into the wooden stud then?

Ah yes. Cupboard is from Ikea and I've got a rail with it. So I guess easier to screw into a stud somewhere.

Cheers John. I guess timber studs might be a plan. Its a partition wall so I dont think any masonry behind it. Timber bearer - you mean like a support?

Ikea cupboard so comes with a fitting rail. BUT what is the best plug to use for fitting this to plasterboard wall? In the past, I've used the white plastic polytoggle type. Never really got on with the metal ones. Would these be adequate though or should I be using the metal ones? What would...

Only need about 5mm off the bottom. Instructions say to cut the ends with stanley knife and score along the rest of the way and the bend it back and forth. Not going to be possible with just 5mm. Any suggestions? Going to be a tough job with a stanley knife and difficult to get straight with...

Yes, I guess thats the only way. I just found it strange that they sell you this nice posh cupboard that you've got to cut anyway....

Now I've probably missed the obvious here. Bought a back to wall type toilet with a nice cupboard for behind and a concealed cistern. BUT, of course, both the flush pipe and the waste pipe need a gap into the cupboard. Cupboard has got a removable panel on the front but I can't see how this...

No not included with either the toilet pan or cistern. Guess I better buy one.

Ordered it months ago unfortunately but we'll see what we can do.

Not laid it yet but its not as thick as I though. I think we'll be ok.

Flush pipe from cistern just seems to stick into back of toilet bowl and its not that tight a fit. Should there be any sealing going on? Or because the water is dropping and rushing into the bowl its flowing different way so no chance of leak?

To be honest I must buy a new cistern. £35 screwfix for bottom entry concealed one. A lot less hassle I think.... Probably should have checked before I bought the one I've got (from Better Bathrooms).

Or cut off the isolation valve and buy a 15mm pushfit to 3/5" screw flexible?

Currently seems to be 15mm pipe isoltaion valve conntedted directely to toilet inlet. Assume this is 3/4" screw thread. Anyway, new toilet is side entry only. What bests approach here? Can I even buy a 3/4" extension like this?

I'd have to move the hinges then though I guess?

Bought some decent laminate floor for the bathroom. Pretty thick stuff - rubber on bottom. Are there any issues with type of underlay that needs to be used for this? For example, any reason why I can't use the thick slightly padded silver stuff?

Fitting thick laminate in the bathroom this weekend. Forgot about the door. Its a hollow cheap door so I guess Im limited in how much I can saw off the bottom? Is 1 inch about right - if so I 'might' be OK. Any way around this? Is there any way to remove the bottom bit completely, saw the...
