    Get two large screwdriver and poke it through the plug hole from above and hold it. Get a pump plier and undo the nut while holding screwdriver in. It will be stiff but keep trying. If can't, cut nut off and replace with new bath waste fitting. Daniel.

    Oops I ordered the wrong size shower trap

    Don't do it. It will not work as if you do, the flange of the waste fitting will stick up not level with shower tray surface. Take the trap back and get the correct sized trap. Daniel.

    Gravity feed water tanks

    No, it will not create more pressure as both tanks are on same level, but will store more water. If you want more pressure, raise the tanks up. A metre up will create 0.1 bar, for 1 bar you need to raise up 10 metre higher, not possible in loft lol! Or a pump? Daniel

    No Central heating without turning hot water on

    You can always move the programmer to a new location and nearest socket for that plug to go in then you can run 6 cores from programmer to junction box. Make it easier to run cable. It all depend if hot water cylinder stat is wired in 3 cores not including G/Y wire. Daniel.

    If the wall outside is neat, eg core drill hole, I would use frame sealant ( brown to match brick ) to make good and decorate caulk for inside wall. If the hole is too large, sand and cement is the way to do it. Daniel.
