I have a Drayton digistat 3 thermostat which is installed in a bedroom and I really need it in the lounge, so have decided to go with an RF one because re-wiring would be a pain. Can anyone reccomend an easy replacement. I dont need an all singing dancing model. It seems the Drayton models...

The EHO said they can only get involved when there is an overflow to the property. Last time they issued the 48 hour notice, this time they did a CCTV but I had to unblock it first. The CCTV showed a problem but because of the water in the pipe the CCTV was unable to pin point it only give...

Thanks for advice, it is going to be a nightmare because the neighbour in the middle is the proverbial pain in the bum and it looks like the problem is on her land. Problem with enviromental health is they can't get involved until its causing a problem so I have to wait a few months for it to...

Yes that is definatley right, the drain emptys in the wrong direction. Bellway builders for you! :)

Not sure I am in the right place here, but here goes. I have a diagram at http://www.frogit.co.uk/drain/drainplan.doc There are three of us connected to the drain, the first problem is when the builders installed the drains 20 years ago you will see the drains from 91 and 89 enter in the...

Thanks Mattysupra appreciated, where is the best place to buy these? I guess B&Q don't stock them.

I am sure this has been asked before but I cant seem to find it on the search. I have a conservatory that has an even floor and was tiled with ceramic tiles that have a smooth surface (shiny) some of the tiles have cracked. My intention was to remove the tiles and use a self leveling...

After giving a project I had in mind a little more thought, I have decided to extend my garage by approx. 5 - 6 feet, will I need to get planning permission for this? I have no other extensions. Provided everything goes to plan, I would need to put a pitched roof on to match up with current...

I am having a similar problem, my pipe runs into my neighbour's and hers runs into a manhole and from there to the main sewer we think two or three others join before it gets to the road drain, but can we get plans? no way pedro. All we can get is the street sewer plans and not actual house...

Thanks for the replies much appreciated, it is a 32 amp on its own RCD the switch is already in the airing cupboard and thats where the new fused switch will go. It cost a fortune to have the shower connected last year and it seemed a shame for it to be redundant. But her who knows best...

Hello, I have removed an electric shower to replace it with a thermostatic one and an electric pump. My question is can I connect the power for the pump into the redundant electric shower power supply which has its own fuse on the fuse box. I was going to fit a fused switch between the...

Just been to fix a Hoover tumble dryer should have been a 10 minute job, the belt was broke and she had bought the replacement, after a bit of swearing I got the new one on. :D But when you turn the machine on the timer has somthing spinning inside and it clicks every so often which I...

I have had this problem and cured it with a "Hepvo" self sealing waste valve, if you do a search on tinternet you will find the info on them. :)

Hi thanks for that, just measured up and I am just short of 250 !!! :( Don't you just hate that :lol: Thanks for your help its much appreciated.

No problems with annoying the neighbours and if its louder than their bloody dog that can only be a good thing! The chances of it freezing in the garage are very slim the previous owners had an unlagged cold water pipe in the garage for years with no problems. But I would put an insulated box...

Thanks Softus The room that is being turned into a cloakroom was originally part of the garage and the previous owners never got around to installing the toilet and sink, if I site the toilet up against the breeze block wall then it made sense to me to put the saniflo in the garage. But...

I thought as stupid as it maybe, that as you can buy a WC Pan Connector Extension Piece (flexible and ridgid) for a "normal" toilet. ie. as if it were going into the soil pipe. That maybe, just possibly maybe it would OK to use this into a saniflo as the function of the toilet is no different...

Solids would not be going up hill! I would have a slight drop from the toilet into the saniflow of about 2 - 3 inches over 12 inches I realise all the pictures show them on the back of the spigot but I thought someone may have done or seen somthing different.

I know they are a pain but unfortunately its my only option! The question is does the saniflo have to connect direct to the WC spigot?. I need to know if I can connect via a straight pipe from the back of the toilet that will be approx 12 inches long it will go through a wall and then...

Hes been, its fixed and I am very satisfied. :lol: Thanks JohnD Turned out that it was a leaking boss? that had probably been leaking for years, we fitted a new fire door to the garage recently which must have stopped the ventilation. Jobs a good un.
