Any idea what will happen if it doesn't have enough pressure? Will it simply not operate at all or just give poor flow etc? I'd like to avoid having to change it at some point in the future but I suspect there is no way round it.

It will be a combi system hopefully later this year. Currently its a conventional back boiler with tanks. I realise that this will not provide the required pressure so there is a backup plan or using the existing mixer until the heating system is changed.

Thanks again. I was hoping to use the existing pipes although I plan on addition isolation valves to them first as I've already had one plumbing near disaster this week :)

Thanks for that. Wasn't thinking in terms of tap connector sizes.... Its a got a min operating pressure of 1bar.

That wasn't my motivation, I was trying to get the correct supplies for the job. Brownie points are a bonus. Besides she's doing the actual tiling, i'm doing the donkey work......as usual :D

Bit of a daft question. We have ordered a wall mounted Crosswater thermostatic bath/shower mixer for our new bathroom but the one thing not specified on the tech diagram is the size of the input pipes. I know most, if not all, showers tend to be on 15mm pipes but bath taps tend to have 22mm...

OH has arranged to get all of the required items from the tile supplier and has got a good deal on all of it. He also recommended BAL Rapidset flexible and agreed with the rest of my choices. And we can return anything we dont need for a refund. Thanks again for the advice :)

Thanks for the reply and the advice. Greatly appreciated. Only have a single join down the length of the bathroom and have supported it underneath. Thanks again for the reply :)

hi folks we are going to be tiling the bathroom over the next couple of weeks. I've done a lot of reading (inclduing sticky ;) ) and I just want to make sure I've not missed anything or got it wrong. Floor - 25mm WBP ply - had to replace whole original T+G floor due to condition. cut...

Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure I'll get the time to remove the tiles until the weekend but I'll post pics once its done.

We've got some custom made Douglas Fir skirting boards to match the existing ones in the house and one of the latest batch has 2 sections on the rear of one board which have leaked sap onto the front of the board stacked below it. Is there a way to remove this without damaging the wood? We...

bit of a follow on from my other recent questions. Bath had leaked for years and has damaged the plaster, boards and joist. Boards and joists are going to be fixed shortly but I'm not sure what to do with the walls. I was hoping just to make good these areas but now the bath has been...

Yup its a bungalow so everything is downstairs :) The width of the bathroom is approx 2.15m (7') and there is no dwarf/sleeper wall. Hence I'll need to cut a pocket into both walls and then I'm going to glue and screw it to the original one too.

Thanks for that. I've ordered the bits today from the timber supplier I've been using for other stuff - he recommended C16 treated joist which is 120x45 and I'll have enough left over to make noggins for putting the ply down. i'll get some Gripfill too

Many thanks for the replies. The floor boards are being replaced with thick WBP ply so it can be tiled on. The joist is quite bad (in my opinion) at the top and it is rotten/soft but it is localised to the area photographed. There is some staining on the other side of the wall but the...

I'm reposting this in here as its got no replies in the flooring board ( which seemed like the logical place :( ) Anwyay I'm after some advice folks. The bath in our bathroom had been leaking for years and has rotted away the floorboards at the end where the leak is. I suspected there...

Anyone? Would really appreciated any advice at all.

There is a loft/eaves above so I'll go with the normal boards. Thanks for the info :)

thats fantastic. Thanks for the reply. Am hoping to do the replacing/overboarding this weekend (still haven't decided which!)

Quick question We are going replace our bathroom ceiling with plasterboard and wondered whether we should use moisture resistant or just standard? It will be skimmed afterwards. Thanks in advance :)
