You may want to make that with a basin connection, not sink

Sorry, I never posted the outcome of this problem. I managed to convince the clerk of works to allow me to fit a standpipe under the sink. The problem continued with the sink water flowing away freely but the washing machine waste overflowed standpipe almost immediately. I then went...

I work on a council contract fitting bathrooms, kitchens and heating systems in West London. The discharge hose for the washing machines must be put onto a spigot trap under the sink (no standpipes allowed). I was called back to a recent property we have done to investigate a problem...

My Zanussi ovens element packed up a year ago, I had it replaced and I think it may have packed up again. There is power to the cooker, the display lights up, fan & grill work etc, but the oven does not come on when it should. Is there a way of checking the element is broke before I go and...

Answer to the original and all subsequent questions of the thread summed up nicely me thinks

Cheers all, that is good advice. Sitting all the componants out on table to see how much space I need is a very good idea. I will start on this in the next few days and depending how much free time I have after work commitments and kids jumping all over me whilst trying to build it, hopefully...

That's really good of you, but I won't ask until I have sawn my staircase in half. I do really need advising though, which type of wood to use and the thickness required to sufficiently support the (big 1980's style) monitor etc I have.

Hi all, I need to build some sort of construction under my stairs to accommodate my computer, printer etc and extra shelves/ compartments for various computer related odds and sods. I'm not sure how to go about making best use of the triangle shape I have to work with. My problem is...

Well I passed.........it was f****n awful! 1st day theory went well 2nd day couldn't have been worse, made a few schoolboy errors, went to pieces after that. 3rd day redeemed myself a bit from day before....not a lot though 4th day, today went well, started off good and got better...

This is still the case, we have done mock exams and the questions run from the front of the regs to the back

Fast track? Let me tell you my story. I am 38 years old. I am an apprentiship trained mechanical engineer, who found work drying up due to computerised machines taking over the skilled sector of my trade. I consider myself to be intelligent, confident and a quick learner. I...

Hi, I am a plumber with limited experience with heating, I was called to a house yesterday to investigate a heating problem. The house is approx 35 years old with original system. It has a backboiler, with a pump fitted (fairly recently) on the flow to the boiler. There is an old timer in the...

Sorry for not replying sooner, been without comp for a few days (NTL are crap) Yes, revs drop slightly. Can hear gas, not sure about whooshing though, more gentle than that. Tried it for 20 mins, definately felt colder than outside, but freezing? No. It always seems like it will be...

Hi, I bought a seat alhambra 1.9 diesel 4 years ago. The seller said the air con needs to be re-gased. This was the first time I had a car with air con so was not sure as to what to expect in terms of 'how cold' it should be. I took it to a local "car air con specialist" who charged me £80 to...
