:? Hi I haven't brought the WC yet, but I know I'm going to have problems due to position of soil pipe and height. (I will be putting pan on around 18mm plywood to help compensate). Just trying to get things in place before I order. The Swans Neck Pan Connector (Pan Connector Space...

:? Hi We've found the style of WC & basin we want, but cannot get an answer from the manufacture or find a stockist that has this suite on display. All we want to know is the bowl size - the section where the water sits, and cistern size (flush in litres). All the modern toilets we've...

:? Hi Property = Bungalow I've removed a long length of soil pipe to reposition a new toilet. The old toilet was joined by two staggered 90 degree bends (like a staircase) to achieve it's position. The position I now need is different. As the soil pipe comes in from the wall it...

Hi Nige F East Sussex is not just Bexhill where many elderly persons live in bungalow city. We happen to live in a rural area, a stones throw from the best sandy beach in the south (45 min drive from Bexhill). We are not over the hill (yet).

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: Sorry, I've just been Googling, and it looks like FOILBACKED plasterboard is for moisture NOT fire. Anyway - my question still stands, can I use WBP directly on studs? Thanks, sorry for error.

:? Hi I've just removed a number of walls to create a bigger bathroom. One wall was a stud partition that backs onto the en-suite. Leaving the plasterboard/tiles in place on the ensuite side, I removed the plasterboard on the bathroom side. This revealed that there has been a leak...

:cry: Thanks Seco Services and Tonybhoy, The old bath was in a room some distance from new bathroom. It wasn't connected to a soil pipe. The waste runs under the property back to the sewer where the soil pipe goes into (bit of an odd arrangement). I've swapped over the rooms, the old...

Hi Anybody know the height from the floor to the bottom of a standard bath? i.e. where the plug hole is / trap is connected to. I need to know 'cause I've got to work out if the waste from the bath will have enough height/fall to be connected to soil pipe. This is a bungalow with...

Hi Property was built around 1976. It was a bungalow. But around 15 years ago it was converted to a chalet bungalow with a fair size extension at the rear. Looking inside the loft it looks like a complete new roof structure that runs the whole length, with Roman concrete tiles all the...

Thank you OwainDIYer for your detailed and informative reply. I will now look into setting this up as a lodger. I didn't known about the £4K rent free - what a great site this is. Many thanks again - Stephen

Thanks freddymercurystwin. We wouldn't rent it out to anyone else. We would like to stay here, but if we cannot rent, then it has got to go on the market. We are fortunate that we are right on the south coast, and another buyer could use this as a holiday flat, or bed & breakfast...

Hello Before I contact the local council, I would like to know where we stand with regards to splitting our property for rent. The property is a substantial converted chalet bungalow. We brought this property 8 years ago because it had a self contained section upstairs for my dad to...

Thanks ban-all-sheds. I just wanted to know if there are any physical differences between MCB's (B rated). This is because I have a long journey to ScrewFix/B & Q and don't want to find out there are differences and a different brand would not fit. I wanted to get he job done this...

:? Hi I need to change my MCB B32 to MCB B40 for a new shower. The C/U is around 12 years old. Will any make of MCB fit my Crabtree Star Breaker C/U ? For instance the BusBar? Many thanks. Stephen

Thanks mikhailfaradayski. The earth is solid. From your help it looks like the cable is 6mm. Not to worry - a 8.5kW shower it is.

:? Hi I've got to replace an electric shower, which was probably installed around 12 years ago. The shower that needs replacing was a Mira Sports 8.5kW which never tripped the MCB B32 If possible I'd like something around 9.8kW - but I want to confirm that the cable can handle it...

Thanks seco services. Just dug out loads of sealant - managed to pull out enough cable for any fixing point. The mains water is rear entry.

:? Hello I have a "Mira Sport" shower (dated 1996-1998) that has finally stopped working (blown neon circuit board). Looking at my shower on the wall with the cover off - the mains water is top left hand side and the power is bottom left hand side. MY QUESTIONS (2) 1) Does...

Thanks for your help. We have been using table lamps - a lot of work has been going on, just getting to the point where I can fit the new lighting. Yes there is a 'one double' metal pattress already in the wall (flush). The old light switch was just like a regular double light switch...
