Hi, I am trying to find white WC soil pipe but the main sheds don't have it. Are there any websites where these are for sale? It would be for a standard WC install. Also I would need a pan connector, I understand there are flexible ones to account for akward locations, is this correct...

Hi, I have a cloakroom which has ceramic tiles on every wall. I would like to install a sink so I would need to d5rill a hole to accomodate the waste pipe. Do I need to break / remove the tile in order to do this or is there a way to drill a hole big enough for the waste pipe? many thanks

cause it is big and we need the space in the small room where it is located. Also the tails going into it have some mm of exposed copper, not happy about that.

Thanks guys for the response. I actually wrote to the supplier enquiring about the age of my meter. I got a letter stating "replacing your meter is the responsibility of your localo meter operator and is not usually arranged through your energy supplier. Your local meter operator is a...

Hi, I wrote a letter to our supplier npower telling them our meter is 21 years old and asking them if it needs changing. Their reply is that they are not responsible for meter changes in our area but UU is. They have however booked an appointment for us. I thought suppliers were...

Hi, I have splashback tiling (two layers over the years :shock: ) above my worktops. The kitchen is being replaced so I will be knocking off the tiles. I am assuming some of the plaster will come too exposing the bricks. As this will only be partial can I just replaster the area to the level...

Wc pan and sink. Is this allowed? I have a small room which as the above electrical installations and I would like to put a sink and a WC pan. I would like to do this by the boomk via building regs. Does the light fitting need to be on an RCD? It currently is not. Will I need...

For your information the road is a through road so there is no need to reverse. The last time some idiot did it they nearly crashed into me as I was reversing out of my garage in my own drive. i take it you use other people's drive? You know, it is called trespass.

Hi, People keep reversing my drive. I would like to stop this trend by installing a chain or using traffic cones. Does anyone know what the catch is with H & S? The chain or cones would be within my boundary but I am concerned about the postman tripping or something like that.

Hi, I am looking at getting my kitchen done up. I have the stop tap being the washing machine under the worktop. The waqshing machine is stand alone not integrated. The pipes run from the stop tap along the wall at close to the side wall up to the ceiling. They are currently boxed in with...

There is no point doing it anyway. The government will never publish the true figures and also I would giess that many of our guests won't fill in the forms or be chased for them. My bet is that the gov will state the population being at 65 million with 7 million foreign born citizens when my...

Partially, I have not filled in any financial detail ie do i own my own house. They don't need to know that.

I have to rant, they are doing my noodle in. I've had 5 visits that I know of since about the 2nd week of April. I've just had to escort one off of the premises, explaining that I've withdrawn their implied right of access. I'm getting about 4 visits a week at the moment. I had at least...

This is what I think as well. But I think the root of the problem is the welfare state here. If they stopped giving benefits to these people they would not come or come in reduced numbers, you would not even need a border force. And even if they insisted on coming here they would have to work...

watch it, you are being "rrecisst". :roll:

no benefits paid to new intakes. Ie in france and italy you need to have private health insurance for five years before being able to use the local nhs. Social housing in the rest of Europe is miniscule compared to what is on offer here (to the wrong people). For other benefits there is a...

Hi, I sorted my loft with a mixture of trade input and diy. I got trade to install vents in the soffit boards outside at spacing of 0.5m all around the house perimeter. I also inserted some plastic conduits between the layers of felt at various heights in the roof space. There are always...

Hi, I have some trowel marks on our white ceiling and also a couple of straight hairline cracks. I know that even if i patch up the hairline cracks they may come back but i would like to fill the trowel marks with fine filler and then sand. I would like to avoid having to repaint the...

sorry to hijack the post but i have a similar problem. Does the Live in the relay box need to be connected to another terminal within the receiver?
