Thanks - I cannot imagine how I could put the waste together wrong! It's a simple waste just threading together thats it, there's too much depth for the unit to be fully assembled. Will go to local and see what they have in stock. (item was via ebay with the shower tray/enclosure)

Hi - I have the vanity unit - should I fit the cistern on the wall below the top bar at the back of the vanity unit? There is a mounting bracket with the cistern - it's a plastic bracket and I am uncertain if this alone would support the cistern weight when filled with water? Should I...

Hi - I have the stone shower tray which are fitted with riser legs. It's to be installed on top of a new vinyl floor - then I thought, should I cut off part of the vinyl where the riser legs is standing on? My thinking here is since vinyl floor is soft and the riser legs may press down the...

Yeah the first image works - was asking about any protections/preventions surrounding that DP switch.

Nice image! Was just thinking - since this will be mounted on the other side of the plasterboard - I am hoping it will be in a different 'stud' area which is away from any plumbings - is there any requirements I need to keep in mind in case of any leaks in the future? Or just leave it to RCD!

The previous installation is less than that! In order to use the existing cabling - and to make it look more neat inside (i.e. without pull cord) - I am thinking of using a wall mount switch (outside bathroom obviously) and it would be on the other side of the plasterboard wall where the...

Ahh - then I may have this issue as would need to reach over to the unit to turn it on - the existing cabling (from the pull cord in the ceiling) will not reach that far if I was to move it to the enclosure end. Looks like I need to renew the cable from the ceiling? How far away should the...

Position of shower unit (you asked bath or cubicle) Good advice - securing the olive on plastic first. Hmm will need to think about this one see if I can get access to soldering kit. Probably consider buying my own as may do more work in the other bathroom :shock: You know of where to get...

Thanks for the replies - It's in a shower enclosure so near to the corner should be ok - I am guessing you are thinking about the safety valve... Ok - compression fitting it is then - how do I know when it's tight sufficently as with copper pipes I have no issues but with this plastic and...

Agreed - it would be overkill just for one area of wall. Whats your view on this foil insulation it's this one http://www.wickes.co.uk/space-blanket/invt/161206/ I mean it cannot be any worse than what was previously installed?

when u say rigid insulation - did you mean by using a board at back and then use rockwool? I thought you meant the Polystyrene sheeting in place of the rockwool. I have some 6mm plywood leftover - that would cover the whole of the stud walls inside the void I could cut it into strips and...

Not effective? Thought they approved by the energy trust or something like that? Expensive as a single set yes - but Wickes was doing them for buy one get three free....so four for the price of one...so guess this is a good deal?

Thanks - I could go for the polythene board - would the 25mm thickness be ok? This probably would solve a lot of hassles!

Hi - I am going to replace the plasterboard in the bathroom in the loft. What type of insulation should I use, there is a gap of about 500mm from the party wall (in roof) to where the stud wall is. There is nowhere to secure the new blanket of insulation unless I put some sort of plywood on...

hi - I am about to install new shower on the adjacent wall from where the old one used to be. Cabling and plumbing already there - just needed to re-route both to that wall - this is not a problem. Walls is plasterboard. What is the ideal position of the electric shower unit? I am...

Hi. just found this neat forum. Right I have checked the brushes and there are good continuity between brush end and the wire, plenty of life left in brush. Have checked the clear tubing for any leaks leading up to the pressure switch (is it called this?) Belt is fine. It may be...
