Hi GavThePlumer and thanks for helping out here. Semi-detached. Thames water have said themselves having seen the drain that it shouldn't be joined so must be something they saw. I can't really speak for them it's what they told me. It was the previous owner who had mentioned the works prior...

Even if placed there by someone without permission? Doesn't sound right to me. Can you clarify why?

Hi all. I've a drain access at the end of my garden and T****s water have had to clear a blockage recently. This has happened a number of times over the past couple of years and these guys were the second lot to advise that next doors' sewage pipe is draining into mine and that it shouldn't)...

Was thinking it might well be over 150. Thank big-all

screwfix. And it's up to the tradesman. I'm just stating that I have them. If he has better then great.

I've got a series of odd jobs which I need to carry out but which i've not been able to tackle myself. If I contact an 'odd job' engineer, about how much should I expect to have to pay for these things : Door reversal. Fire door opens from right to left. Needs to open from right to left...

Anyone know of a good quality sealant (by their own experience)? I've been reading a lot of convoluted stuff mainly from companies promoting their own products. Polyurethane based appears to be the way to go but just when i'd settled on this I found a review on amazon stating that one...

Darn it. I wondered why it was looking new for the first year then after I jet washed it it only lasted about 6 months before looking grimey again. I just thought I'd got the cleaning bug and noticed that it needed a clean ealier than before. I think I may have blasted off the pavings...

Hey pred, thanks for the response. Have done that since my last drive wash and the result wasn't nearly the same when I'd used the direct jet from the p/w it brought the block paving back like it had just been laid. A couple of bags of kiln dried sand and it could have passed as being laid that...

I bought a pressure washer from B&Q some 5 years ago called Challenge Xtreme. The p/w is obsolete now I think but I'm wondering if there is a more current brand which uses the same type of connector as the C/X and has a patio cleaner attachment so that I can buy it as a single accessory rather...

Bump for advice.

Hi all. I had a pump fitted a couple of years ago (come april) and just located a big leak at the junction where the cold water is fed to the pump . The the cold water is dran off to the pump via a JGspeedfit equal tee and it's at one of the joins that the water is leaking. This has only...

Hi. I've just boxed off a 6 inch gap between the head end of my bath and the wall. I've got some border tiles which i've cut to size for the width of the bath and i'm wondering how best to put them on. Should I put them on by use of a) adhesive first then silicone the joins. b) instead of...

Thanks Dave. Having bought the wrong part once already I didn't want to repeat so thought I'd ask the forum first. Why screw fix only does the other type is beyond me. Cheers.

yeah now read the post again.

Hope someone can help. I recently tiled my downstairs toilet/shower area which meant that the wash basin now sits an inch or so further forward from the wall. This has meant that the straight pipe which connects to the 's' trap to the drain away is tilted away from the vertical by 10 degrees or...

Thanks all. I sed my dremel grinding bit in the end to start the hole (pierce the surface), then the the bit I bought from screwfix gripped and went through easily.

Hi all. I tiled an on suite recently and am about to re fit the accessories for the room (towel rail, mirrors etc). I bought the following item from screwfix to drill the holes but as its not pointed it slides around (tested on a spare tile)...

All done. Heating on and hot water back. I did a google search for 'pump valve 28mm' and Tool Station (new one on me) came up. Went to the web site and did a store search and there it was, in the same trading estate as my local Screwfix. Would you believe it. The guy in the store said they've...

Back again. Due to no engineers being available to help until today or Monday at the earliest i've cracked on and hack sawed the valves off so am ready to replace the pump now. I've been to s****fix and for the junior hack saw and 2 pump valves identical to my existing valves...
