Thanks John for your reply :) The plumber mentioned that we should have a got a deep shower tray, not the slim version, as they don't hold enough water and not drain quickly. Now, can he open the side panel and change the diameter of the pipe and the fall, as he seems to blame the design...

Installed a new slim shower tray but the water overflows if we use the full force fo the shower, so have had reduce the water flow on the shower to half and it takes time to drain. I bought the easy plumb showr tray, for our plumber when we're renovating our house, but it seems the water does...

Thanks for your comment. Now to rectify and simplyfy the plumbing, to create more storage space and to elimante that distracting gurgling noise. Do I now purchase two sets of McAlpine A10V for my 1.5 sink. Looking at the picture, is that enough to connect the condensate pipe from the...

Thanks for the reply. I found the A10V but not the IIRC from McAlpine, from website. Will these stop the gurgling noise? Don't like to replace the whole system, if If it's possible.

Yes, it's a condensate pipe.

Thanks fellas. I attach some photos of the plumbing of the sink. Spoke to the plumber/builder who installed this, and is working other bits in our renovated house, he told me it's normal for gurgling noise, his house also does the same thing! I'm going to show you some pictures of the...

Just had new sink fitted, it's not connected to washing machine or dish washer. It's not blocked but makes these funny noises for a minute and then stops, after running water. The plumber bought waste pipes and then cut out additional bit of pipes to fit [/img]

My builder has now started work on our downstairs toilet. He has bought 4" round pipes that he is going to duct through our floorboards and exit beside the front door. What type of extractor fan would be suitable, preferably from screwfix website. You mentioned earlier about centifugal...

Hi Folks, Just had my new driveway done, how do I best protect them? My paver suggested using sealant to protect but I read that they're not that useful against moss and weeds. He told me sealants will at least protect them for 5 years.

Thanks for your quick reply. our tray is 55mm from floor, so you maybe right it needs the legs. Right now as the plumber has already started to work to fit the bathroom suites, it will take time to order another kit from on-line. Wondered if I could I get something quickly from a shop, from...

In the middle of renovating my new house and I’ve hit another problem with installing a shower tray in our bathroom. The shower tray I’ve got does not come with legs and side panels, but our plumber tells us that he needs to have the legs and side panels to install them. When I ordered the...

Thanks for the reply. How do you do it, that's the question. It's a terraced house, so can't expel air near the wall and has no windows. The builder has a dug long path for the soil pipe to join the main drain in the garden. What sort of ducting is suitable, flexible or rigid for long...

Just converting the tiny utility room under the stairs for a small downstairs toilet but no space to fit a extractor fan as there is no outside wall that for extraction. The builder, who is a plumber has no idea how do it. I looked on the internet and read people using flexible ducting with...

Thanks fellas, Managed convice Mrs that WFH is not worth it, instead we could investigate electric plinth heater. Will save a lot of money by not going forward with it, as we're nearly bankrupt with the house renovation :cry: expenses.

Thanks for the reply. At the moment we're renovating the whole house, the kitchen is completely stripped of all cabinents and is bare. She was thinking of just having the heating mats along the walking path of the kitchen, instead of the whole kitchen. But from what you're saying it means...

Yes the Mrs walks bare feet in the house, is keen have it, she thinks it's a simple job. Will the floor go higher after installing the heating mat, so not aligning with the hall floor? Is it too difficult to level the floor after installation with the rest of the room? She had seen other's...
