thanks for all your help. overflow now successfully extended and turning my attention to the ballcock. There is a nut hard up against the tank and also one which appears to be attached to a T-piece. Have attached pic (taken with mobile, sorry not very clear). There also appears to be a nut...

it's a bungalow, so it's relatively easy to get a ladder out and tap on an extension from the outside, whereas inside it's not so easy as the overflow pipe comes down at 45 degrees from the tank, disappears just below floor level where I imagine there's some sort of elbow arrangement which...

-------- ahhh - does this mean that I have to cut the pipe inside the house, put in the joint, then push the now longer pipe through so it now protrudes? i was rather hoping there was some sort of "push fit coupler" which I could just insert into the overflow pipe on the outside of the...

yes it does indeed look like 32mm. so it looks like if i get a piece of 32mm plastic pipe i can extend this. heading off to B&Q/Homebase tomorrow, will I be able to get the multifit unions there and why do I need 2, I'm visualising the union to be a push fit insert to join the two lengths...

thanks. it's definitely larger than 21.5mm though. is there a standard size around the 3cm mark? have been looking around and 28mm gets mentioned often? Alex

Hi All OK, have an overflow problem. Have two overflow pipes on my outside wall, right next to each other. One protrudes from the wall by around 5cm, the other one is flush with the wall. The one that protrudes is linked to the small central heating tank, and I don't think this is...

Yes that's possible. When I put the shower head down in the bath, everything kicks in after around 10 seconds. There are 2 dials on the shower, each side of the bar mixer, flow and temperature. With the shower in its normal position, I have also found that if I start off with the temperature...

The pump, cold water tank and hot water cylinder are in the loft. Cold water tank sits above the hot water cylinder, pump is mounted on the floor in line with the tanks. The hot water is taken from a direct feed from the hot water cylinder, then through the pump, then pretty much straight down...

Just had a Triton Dove mixer shower installed in conjunction with a Salamander CT75 pump. Bit of a strange problem. When I start the shower after it hasn't been used for a couple of hours, I get cold water coming through in pulses. If I remove the shower head from its holder and bring down to...

Hi All I'm looking at refurbing our bathroom in the next couple of months, and would like to replace shower at the same time (currently a basic Mira electric). It's OK, but needs to be turned up to max to get a decent temperature and the flow rate then suffers. Also as it's coming in from the...
