Not a problem, thank you for the reply. I've already taken the waste pipe out of the wall so will core a new hole. Just wanted to check, thank you!

Hey guys, Possibly a simple one for you all. Just wondering if the only logical way to resolve this (sink trap not lining up with outer wall pipe) would be to move the waste pipe going out of the wall? Logically makes sense but was potentially hoping for an easier solution! Cheers

@blup @opps Hiya both, been a while on this one but only just got around to looking at it any further. Left it a while how it was in the picture, and noticed the white powder coming through the cement / grey area in the picture. The same white powder that was showing through the plaster. I've...

Brill cheers for sending the link. In the process of doing it now so will let you know

Hi guys, hopefully a quick one. Just wondering what I should use around this space to fill it out so it can be plastered over. As can be seen the plaster has come away in some areas back to the brick. I've seen online not to use bonding plaster around a window due to it's permeable properties...

Brill cheers for this. Hopefully whoever I get in thinks the same as you! The electrics etc are all temporary in place, only took out the old cupboard last week and new cupboard hopefully going in asap!

Luckily the power point isn't mounted at the moment and will likely not be where it currently is so yeah definitely a possibility!

Cheers for the reply both, do we think it could even just be moved a bit closer to the boiler itself? In theory, at least in my mind, all it would need is for the top and bottom pipes coming out to be shortened (as well as what stuckinarut has mentioned). The cupboard we are looking to...

Hiya guys, hopefully a quick one for you all. I was just wondering if someone could give me a rough price / amount of work involved in moving this pipe around our boiler. We want to box in the boiler but this one pipe that sticks out makes it almost impossible. Would it be possible to make the...

Doesn't feel damp at all which is the weird. And I'd say the back of the plasterboard I took off the wall wasn't damp either. But there's obviously something going on for someone to have put the dry rods there previously. I'll try your cling film idea cheers. I would have agreed that it was...

Yeah just gave it a quick Google and they're dry rods. So obviously an existing issue. Would just plasterboard back over it but it's bound to come back. Will have to get someone out more than likely

Hiya mate, sorry for the late reply on this. Finally got around to taking the plasterboard off. The wall underneath looks and feels very dry. The only thing I can point out is where the damp was, was where the grey area is in the picture. I've marked a line as to where the damp roughly was on...

Cheers for the reply blup. How would I potentially go about eliminating a leak that is still there, and potentially in the ceiling above? Only as the issue has obviously come back multiple times over a year. Don't think that would particularly be a job I could do. There is minor damp at the...

Also may be worth pointing out this is dead above a radiator that is on for the majority of the day.

Hi guys, Apologies if this is not in the correct category, wasn't too sure what it would come under. I moved into this house about a year and 3 months ago. And ever since there has always been a damp patch in our dining room, to be more precise about 5 ft off the floor and to the side of a door...

Eventually had another go at this and managed to do exactly as you've suggested. Took me some time just because of the height of the light etc made it difficult but eventually got there. So now all the wires are going straight into the base. With the CPC's going straight into the CPC connector...

Didn't even think about the hooks to be honest but that does make perfect sense. Thank you for pointing that out. So is the only change you guys would make is potentially connecting the earth's to the CDC on the base plate? Otherwise everything is good? (Unfortunately no clip like the one in...

It may have, but I'm my situation it was unfortunately easier for me to use the connection strip.

Unfortunately couldn't get them to fit. Genuinely did try, the earth's coming from the ceiling were a lot thicker. And trying to get thin versions to fit in the same hole, while reaching up above my head and support the weight of the lamp. Wasn't going to happen. Downsides of doing a DIY job on...

Hiya buddy sorry for the late reply. Hopefully these will be okay
