Perfect, thanks!

I appreciate the advice of using an IP rated junction box, but if I run a new 1.5mm² 3 core flex from the control unit of the shower to the cupboard outside the bathroom, I can make the new electrical connections without having to notify, yes? In essence, all I'm really doing is installing a new...

Thanks for your reply PrenticeBoy, The source of the water was from a cross-threaded connection feeding the shower riser, another thing they didn't do right! That's been remedied. I think I will extend the plug/RCD under the floor to the cupboard which is on the other side of the wall on the...

Hi all, We moved into a house with an Insignia INS0509 Steam Shower installed last July, and it was working fine for around a year, then it started to trip the leccy. We didn't use it for while, then tried it again and all was fine for a couple of days when it started tripping the leccy again...

Hi all, We have an Insignia GT0509W shower/steam cabin, which was installed before we bought the house. We've been using it fine for the last 8 months, then all of a sudden one night, when we weren't even using it, the whole power tripped. We narrowed it down to the shower cabin and have left...

SOLVED!!! Went under the house the other day, and the soil pipe had dropped significantly. The clown shoe who'd installed it had knocked up a ghetto bracket to suspend the pipe from the joists using some scrap timber he had lying around, and 'spiked' them at 45 degrees to the joist...

You're not wrong. I'm sure it's between the problem toilet and the branch outside. I need to go under the house soon anyway to do some electrics, so I'll check the pipe hasn't slipped off whatever was holding it up and created a dip, or anything strange like that. Cheers, BS...

Hahaha, really sorry for the delay in my response guys, I fell of my ladder. Just kidding. Been mega busy with the 4 million other things I'm trying to fix/renovate at the same time. I haven't lifted the manhole cover yet, as it's in next door's drive, and I haven't managed to catch him in. I...

Top advice from you all, I will check the drain tonight, and also look for the source of the vent pipe. Cheers again, BS...

I'll take a look tonight, cheers...

Well there are no other toilets upstairs, so I would assume it does. Through the power of Google Maps, here's the craic: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/403006/Maps1.jpg Toilet 1 is the problem toiletin the en suite downstairs, toilet 2 works just fine with a nice high water level...

Went outside and took a video to clarify. You can see the toilet that works fine on the first floor, with that ventilation pipe, then the soil pipe comes down and the problem toilet enters the junction at the very bottom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unVs_6EohhQ&feature=youtu.be Toilet...

Thanks for this, I can't quite grasp why the downstairs toilet is affected, but the upstairs one is fine. Is that possible? Cheers, BS...

Not sure what you mean. The toilet upstairs drain to the top of the junction in my outside photo, the problem toilet on the ground floor drains into the back of that junction, then th whole lot goes downwards. BS...

As I mentioned, the toilet upstairs is fine. Here's where they both meet before going underground: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/403006/Outside.jpg I'll assume the blockage probably lies between this intersection and the toilet itself? Am I getting close? BS...

So, we noticed the water level was really low in the downstairs toilet when we moved in to our new (old) house, but then the smells started and I have been forced to do something about it. It's so low that it starts to gurgle after it's settled post flush, as you can see...

Hi all, We've just put our flat on the market, and I want to sort out our loose banister wall bracket before people come to view it, as it's not a great first impression. Here's my problem: http://youtu.be/bXdKiEIbBe4 I realise I'm going to have to reseat it, requiring some removal and...

Have only programmed full set. Is the answer to program a part set for the same zones but reduce the set timer as low as possible? Cheers, Carl...

Hi all, Installed a Veritas 8 last month with some invaluable help from this forum, however I'm wondering if there's a way to instantly arm it when we are in the house and going to bed. Instead, we have to sit through 30 seconds of quite loud beeps late at night. Thanks in advance for any...

No, there is no panic button mate. Cheers, BS...
