That was also another idea I had just to tidy it up and do a proper job of it. But the hep pipe flange ends diameter is much bigger than the width of the base of the toilet (standard close coupled toilet), so I can only physically push it back until it butts up against the hep pipe, eventhough...

I'm happy to keep things where they are. It looks like the clay pipe (I believe these are called Hep pipes) protrudes so while I can clear off the existing cement around the end of the pipe I would need to be very careful not to damage it or it could be alot of pain to fix. I was hoping to...

Hey guys, Just starting to refurbish my downstairs toilet. I've ripped it all out and put in the new pipe work. Time to build a false wall. However I'm presented with a small problem regarding the soil pipe which is encased in concrete and quite ghastly to look at. From the picture...

Thanks! Its all done now looks great. I ended up cutting small notches from the kitchen cupboards and used whole tiles. Looks better I reckon I did buy a second hand saw though for some other cuts. I have no idea how much that would have cost me, but I paid 50 for the tiles, 75 for the tools as...

Heres the almost finished result. Reasonably happy for my first attempt. In hindsight I probably picked a very bad combination for a novice; stone tiles and fast set adhesive! I had to work alot quicker than I would have liked... Considering resetting 3 tiles in the corner that are a...

Pretty much what I did in the end. Made a cats claw. Had to give it a bit of a hack where the claw wouldnt fit (around the edges and under the wall cupboards) just so theres something to key onto

Hey guys, Just a quick question regarding preparation of the this type of surface for tiling. I'm planning on sanding down (matt emulsion), and priming. Is this acceptable? The plaster is about 6 months old. I'm tiling using dunlop fast set and 100mm travertine tiles. Its for a...

From my research I was expecting in the region of £50m2. I can appreciate its cheap to buy, but a good quality fitter is going to set me back £150 a day up this way.

Hey guys, Had a few quotes at around the £400-£500 mark for installing EPDM Rubber Roof over my porch which is approx 4m2. I was curious as to whether this was reasonable as theres little data around to suggest a general cost per square metre installed. This includes: - Removing old felt...

I know where the channels are as I was there when the sparky put them all in. Didnt notice one of the sockets that was supposed to be centralised over one of the units wasnt as we put the kitchen in after. It's probably 2-3" too far right.

I've got a kitchen socket I want to move slightly to the left before tiling (currently have a glass splash back but we don't like it and want to tile instead). Will I need to get a sparky involved to do this (as it might involve extending the feed?) Or is it something I can do without...

Hey guys, I'm after some advice. When the weather improves I'll be erecting a new rear garden fence (concrete posts, shiplap, trellising, orchard gate). The existing one we inherited on our new house is quite literally flapping in the wind! All things being level I think i'd be OK, but...

:( I'll have to bring it up then if thats the case.

Ye thats the one. I know; I thought that too. I've stayed away from it until its finished.

I'm running a test tonight by running something off the temporary socket after 12.30am to see which meter it clocks on.

unfortunately i dont know should have taken a photo before been busy gutting etc. spoke to my supplier and they said no way to find out who installed it :(
