A difficult situation in any circumstances and a lot of good advice has been given although some is conflicting and some taking you down avenues that at this stage it may be best to avoid. I have had experience with contracts from a procurement environment and from this prospective I summarise...

Provided you have adequate mains pressure, 15mm should be ok. In addition to the run you will have, I have a downstairs cloakroom and all are fed from 15mm mains. It is worth noting that there will be few, if any occasions when all are drawing water at the same time and for any length of time.

My solution would be to run a new cold feed from the tank, to connect to your existing pipework at the point of termination of the connection to the current cold feed (supplying both flats). This would ensure that your supply is independent from the flat below. In plumbing terms this is a...

Just a thought:- Re lack of hot water pressure, possible solutions in 1 of your question would not solve low pressure from tap thus is low pressure from the shower only or also when you run the bath tap. If just shower, fault would seem to be within your existing mixer. If pressure is low on...

Taking that you assumptions are right re mains supply for kitchen and cold water tank for bathroom tap and toilet, poor mains pressure as mentioned by others covers your kitchen. For the bathroom and toilet my reading of your problem is that both flats could be on the same cold water pipe...

nstreet thanks for reply. I have probably confused those who read my post. To clarify I misread Dannyk post of 6 Nov and was basically just going to use a damp proof membrane tacked onto the upright supports then cover with hardboard; forgot all about the polystyrene. Fitting this between the...

A project I am also considering. For ventilation between shed wall and internal skin I was thinking of taking the internal skin to say within 1/2" from the roof and same distance above the floor. If I was to use soffit vents, presumably I could take the internal skin to the floor and also roof...

TexMex Thanks for the welcome and advice. The site you referred me to was great and has changed my view of a soakaway being just a hole in the ground. stanrog

I had this problem in March this year. The boiler (baxi solo 3) would switch off, the motorised values closed but the pump kept on running past its 8 minutes timed pump overrun. Switching the wall mounted programmer off at the mains and leaving off for a little while sometimes had the desired...

On my CH system I have the bathroom radiator connected to the flow and return pipes of the boiler before they feed the radiators and hot water systems controlled by motorised values.. Thus when the boiler is on, eg for hot water only, the bathroom radiator becomes hot.

Between my house and back garden lawn I have a concrete patio (8ft width). This generally slopes to the lawn but also slopes a little bit left to right. Subsequently with moderate or heavy rainfall I get a large puddle where the patio meets the lawn near my right hand side boundary, my...
