Thank you for that info....really appreciated .

Hi people,I've just took a lot of tiles off in my daughters bathroom...most of it will be plasterboarded but some of the walls are to be just painted...I am getting them ready...but in places the plaster skim (I think it's called that) has broken...I have removed all the broken bits but some of...

London Mike,many thanks for that link,at face value it certainly looks that it is indeed possible to do what I was asking about,I shall certainly be looking at it in more detail now."even" if one of those ideas last's just 4/5 yrs,for the cost of the materials involved it will be no big problem...

hi people,my daughter has just moved into her first home (single mother 2 children) and money is very tight,attached to her home is a single garage which she would like to use as a dining room(the floor is block paving)...she has been told she would need to install a damproof course (which i...

Hi,yes...checked the tanks...and also along the underneaths of the overflow pipes...bone dry. ....there definately is no leak(I can see) in the loft as the problem is happening above any of the pipework in the loft....if I did not know better I would say the drips are coming from the actual roof...

That's an option....will try it later....cheers.

Hi,thanks....I've never heard of Masonry screws but having a quick read on them they seem to be the type of thing I am looking for....cheers

Hi, that was my thoughts too BUT as I am not a lover of heights and didn't fancy using a drill up the ladder I thought maybe I could pop up the ladder with a cpl of masonry nails and bang them in quickly ...that's why I thought there may be some kind of heavy duty type nail that was more...

Here are some pics....arrows show the unfixed (loose) area. cheers.

Hi guys...having tried most everything mentioned (many thanks for the help/advice) we had to finally get in a drainage company....firstly they tried to snake the pipe but that was no good at all...then they used a power jet....IT WORKED !...no more gurgling pipes...so just wanted to update you...

Many thanks again,will do

Madrab, really appreciated all your advice.I will not cut any pipework and go the way you suggest through the compression joint,and seal sink pipes etc, I will now check if any of my mates have a wetvac...what wattage wetvac would you recommend or should it not really matter ? Cheers.

May sound a bit dumb here but what do you mean by sealING up all the wastes feeding into the soil pipe ? Do you mean disconnect and seal for example...kitchen sink,washing machine,dishwasher,boiler pipework that do or could connect to the vertical pipe in the pic I sent and then just leave...
