Basically I have an exterior brick wall on one side and the stairway (brick) wall on the other I can't make enough room in either of these for a frame. I was hoping that I could install the toilet and make it secure somehow and then chase the cold water feed & flush mechanism into the wall...

Basically my wall wont take the frame and I don't want to build out into the bathroom which is already small. Does anyone know if I can install this sort of toilet and feed it from the loft? Do I need a special type of pod toilet? cheers Eggers

Correction the plaster is Thistle finishing plaster it's going off in the container I mix it in not just on the walls.... It's been stored, open, under the stairs for about 4 months. Basically I've had some new windows fitted and there are some gaps between the metal (aluminium) window frame...

OMG I mix it up, start to apply it, taking reasonable care to work it into the cracks (20mm deep - 20mm wide) I'm trying to fill. By the time I've worked my way through half the mixture (of which there is very little but about 5 minutes worth of application) it's already setting. It's...

Hi all, I'm looking to install a smart looking plasma gas fire into my lounge replacing the existing fireplace & surround with a painted wall... I was originally looking at one of these flueless plasma gas fires but have come across lots of posts advising against this here... My question...

Hi all, I've about to go round my entire house with a sander and expect this will create quite a mess... I'm thinking of getting a dust extractor to help both during the exercise & for cleaning afterwards. I guess I'll use the extractor on the tool first then to get the dust out of the...

The induction hob wiring ended up costing £170.. Both the hob and the double oven are provided on separate 32A feeds from the CU on 6mm2 cable. thanks to everyone for their advice

No it lights up when you move in front of it. Although it doesn't seem to record a setting fault when you do that

Hi, My optima G4 alarm seems to be playing up. It's reporting a setting fault in various zones even though the PIR doesn't light up to indicate movement. Also, if I omit a zone and then cycle the omit menu again to check which zones have been omitted the unit seems to have forgotten which...

I think the house originally had gas fires in the room. These have since been disconnected and removed. This room has no chimney in it, it's a semi and all the vents are on the wall opposite the party wall. Edit: to clarify that this room might not have had a gas fire in, the only reason I...

Hi, I'm redecorating my 1930's house and one of the bedrooms has an air vent about the size of a brick with a wooden hatch over it. There's one in the kitchen as well. Can I just fill the bedroom one and plaster over it or do I need to keep it? No idea why it's there, the bedroom in...

South London.... Would be great to get the name of this company.

Ericmark, Thanks for taking the time to write this.. I'm suprised by this comment In most cases dissemination of information isn't illegal and in this case given that anyone could pick up a book or read this stuff on the internet it's a bizzarre thing for them to say. Regarding the...

ok thanks guys.... here's the deal. I brought a new house recently and I had a builder in to finish a significant amount of work on it whilst I was away on business (wife at home). He's basically left the place in a right mess, no longer contactable, lied about work being completed (for...

ok - so I do need a cill but I can go for the smallest they have I'm also trying to get the door as close to the floorline as possible and they have sent me their "level access threshold detail" Can anyone give me general advice about fitting this door, using a "level access threshold...

I guess I'm more interested in whether putting this insulation into the walls around the wires will introduce a fire hazard from the cable overheating.... If that's the case then I probably shouldn't use insulation at all.....

I've just purchased an induction hob which I want installed in my kitchen along with the existing double oven. Double Oven is Candy FDP 231/X rated at 4 kW (Max. absorbed power) Induction Hob is Hotpoint ET6124X rated at 6.6kW Double Oven is currently connected to a cooker plate then on...

All, Not sure whether this is a problem or not... I have a large hole through one of my outside walls near my front door where electrical cables pass through from the ground floor to the top floor. Can I fill this hole with insulating foam or is this likely to introduce a fire hazard...

Symptoms, That contact is working out excellently.... thanks very much for the heads up.
