ok thats what i did and it worked ok and still doesso why not tell us how to do it in a positive way?

Hi atjhza I have fitted a shower pump no problem, I got one with push fit connections, just simply cut out and Tee'd off the existing pipes whilst running it via the shower pump... Main things to consider is there is enough water or it will draw too much out, and that the tanks are big...

Check out which board you got in it, there have been countless problems with the Suprima 50... http://www.cambourne.info/boilerparts.html I had countless problems with it shutting down, eventually had a whole new board put in it just about under warranty, has been ok since. If it runs...

Can you run JG 15mm barrier speed fit Pipe under screed or will this attack it? And what should you do with Copper to protect it under the screed? and as running pipes down wall can you plaster over it? I am chasing through the pipes and leaving them til screed and plasering is done.

Just finishing of an extension, with regard to the en-suite bathroom we are having a shower unit in there, all I want to know is would I need to actually get the shower base or just put the wast pipe in a rough place and move it if needed as I dont have time to do all this now but want to allow...

This is TRUE paul! I don't know why but this thread has turned into a Part P thread, when I simply asked initally was there law about how you run the cables which I have since found out here http://www.niceic.org.uk/downloads/concealedcables.pdf I am basically doing first fix myself then a...

NO FAULTS will be found, as an electrician is doing the main work and I am just running the cables.

Yes thanks Andy, you are right... I phoned them and they kinda said you can get it tested, I said no you can test it and they had to agree as per new ODPM issue to all councils as it should be part of the £400 fee.

Yes you don't need Part P on an extension build, check the post here... http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=31844&highlight= I double checked with Building Control and yes it is true, so no problem.] It is probably easier to get an electricain with Part P, but for me would have...

yes this is what I am after the areas you can put the wire, i.e. does it need to be run up and down or left and right. Forget Part P, you don't need it as long as the work is checked by building reg's, there was a post on this recently. I am using a legit electrician but as he is doing...

i am getting an electrician to actually do wiring on my extension, however I am doing the first fix, running cable and putting in boxes.. Is there anything by law that you have to run in a certain way, I have done upstairs fine but downstairs has block wall and part celing up so harder to run...

I have just built an extension and have built an en-suite next to existing bathroom. Basically I need to tap into the soil pipe, but this can only be done as far as I can see by taking out around 10 bricks of existing wall and then take the breeze blocks out to get to the soil pipe which runs...

hey thats fine, I appreciate the advice, I will take it!!! Just wanted to know why single pipe no good, but I will run twin now.

Hi thanks for reply, the building control said they are mandatory though on extensions??? where can i get this saying it isn't? also what is the Light switches could be on the X10 system? Cheers

Why mad to run one? I am only talking 3 rads in a new extension and feeding direct off in and out pipework... A lot easier, surely worth a go?

As a novice I wish to use Polypipe & Pushfit however a lot of people still think old Copper Pipe & Solder best, although I have seen leaks from this when someone like me who isn't that good at soldering... What is the best make or fittings for Polypipe and Pushfit fittings, I am not worried...

I need to run pipes into screed etc... Can you use polypipe and sink in screed or copper pipe??? Thanks

Extension (new build) ?

On the 450mm rule for mounting sockets and lights between 450mm and 1200mm, is this an actual mandatory requirement??? Some say yes some say no, my BC said yes but then I have read it is only good practice??? Another thing if this is enforced is it only downstairs where wheelchairs can go...
