Hello everybody I moved to a new Barratt house in August and since then I have been hearing an annoying tapping noise coming from the main drain pipe. It is obviously hitting a joist somewhere...Barratt came 4 times, they opened small holes trying to locate and stop the noise, mostly shimming...

quick question is 1mm ok for this bathroom fan http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=41379 cheers

I have a BT socket in the dining room at the back of the house and one upstairs. I would like to have a socket in the living room at the front of the house. Can I use the grey (slide cover type) junction box by my front door and route a cable to the living room from outside after drilling the wall?

I'm replacing a bathroom fan with an in-line fan in the loft, therefore I'm changing the position of the fan on the ceiling. What's the best way to cover the hole left after I remove the old fan (about 100 mm diam)? Thanks Carl

Maybe a trivial question but I'm a total beginner...getting a spur from an existing double socket in the kitchen (not normally used). I'm using 2.5 mm cable, and a 13 amp socket (the ones you screw on the walls). Is this OK?

Will be tiling the bathroom floor soon, and with plywood+tiles the toilet will be 20 mm higher. Can do the soldering work for the pipe to the cistern, but what about the waste pipe? I tried the original one (it goes straight to the wall) but there isn't enough play....Do they sell flexible...

Hi folks after tiling the bathroom walls I was putting the radiator back when a pipe got pierced buy a small nail that was sticking through the chipboard. Now, I can do some plumbing work (soldering) but never done anything on this kind of pipe....It's a 10 mm pipe with a grey thick rubber...

Hi guys, I've just discovered this forum and the result is that I'm now paranoid. Here's the story. I wanted to replace a bathroom suite newly built by Barratts so I did my research on the internet (missing this forum :evil: ), removed the old tiles, patched the walls with plaster, primed with...
