OK i am going to answer my own post in case anyone else reads this. It was in fact my sewage tank full up! The problem was the red float on the pump was caught some how and wasn't sitting upright. Fck sake. I need to address that now because shortly this toilet is going live and i don't ever...

I have just installed the new toilet in our new ensuite. I tried to flush and it wouldn't, i knew the soil pipe etc were ok so i took the ubend off the hand basin, and voila instant flushing, so figured this is all about the water unable to exit due to some suction issue i can't fathom right...

Thankyou for replying i guess you replied whilst i was fitting. I found some 6mm Crimp lugs and wired up now. Hopefully it won't blow up. I dont like it anyway wife's choice not mine!

I'm just adding to this old thread. I have a smeg induction oven here. Removed the multi core 6mm cable from old oven and now looking at the back of this smeg oven. I dont see how I make a good connection unless I am supposed to use 6mm Crimp on lugs? Attached pic of area plus cable for suze

Before i make my own i need a device to monitor my thermal store tank and temp via smart device and set alerts, etc, obviously part of this means i need a prob attached to my thermal store to monitor temp. Is this something you can do via Nest or an other or we still in the dark ages and need to...

Ok this part would work also thats great thanks i wanted to check im on the right path. Yes if you look close i did cut those tiles quite well ie radius cut with a small grinder and blade. I will trim the pipe flush to the floor with a multi tool and fit one of those covers. Thanks.

Oh for sure i will do that shortly, but still looks naff doesn't it trying to splurge a ring of silicone round it etc. Surely there is a product out there which tidies this up, hence me posting that Mcalpine part but not sure.

Just fitting my toilet (yes ignore the skirting etc it will all look good once finished. Im guessing McAlpine or someone offer a solution to the soil pipe in the floor some sort of collar or something to hide the plastic soil pipe and orange pipe, how do i finish this area? Im thinking is it...

We are having our CU upgraded and some cables rerouted one feed is to a small 6pitch caravan site. Currently fed by 16mm twin and earth through the house to an outside point. The sparky has suggested we run 25mm SWA to this point instead just to keep resistance down over the length (30metre...

I have some engineered flooring here i want to lay, checking the website it suggests i should be using D3 Glue for the tongue n grove joints. I don't see any D3 at screwfix i see D3 is specified as Waterproof - Can i use Gorilla Glue or Evo Stick water resistant?

Ok roofer said never done it like that and it will cost extra to fit soakers, i think insinuating im being fussy. Oh joy,

hi Noseall thanks so much for your input here yes it's coming back to me now re the soakers. Ive just looked on Marley's website and see what you mean, i knew something wasn't right. I have raised this with them along with your point about the holes thankyou for assuring me i to felt thats...

I had my roof finished the other day and noticed around the sides of the dormer where it interfaces with the ridge these holes. I am concerned as i would have assumed this material looks stretched before it was bonded leaving these holes, before i pay can i confirm this is normal or should be...

Anyone know where I may get a fair quote on a garage door? I have just been quoted £4300 to supply and install a 4.7x2.1m 4 panel door. You can buy a quality used car for that over some panels a motor and cheapo galvanised rails it doesn't add up.

I am shortly having my garage floor finished with screed. Questions. First of all this has been build on a 'Raft foundation of concrete' Was there supposed to be celotex? as i dont see room for it now as 80mm will bring it up level with the driveway. Second i am not sure which i go for, i...
