Hello, I've recently had a plumber complete a fair amount of work laying some new copper pipes to supply water to our garage, moving the location of our stop tap, new kitchen & utility drainage, and the hanging of a couple of radiators. The plumber was here Friday for 8-ish hours, during which...

We've left the current rainwater & boiler condensate gully in, as this appears to drain to a soakaway, and added the new foul drainage separately for the sink & washing machine that'll be connected to it. We're not adding a WC. I think we'll just keep quiet and see if she mentions anything. If...

Here's our handiwork based on your kind guidance:

Thanks, Hugh, that's put our minds at ease. We'll very happily explain that when the BCO comes for a visit (we even have photos of things like the pipe sitting on the bed of pea gravel), and hopefully, she'll realise that this is a case of naivety and nothing malicious.

Trip to the local bakery it is, then. :rolleyes: Thanks very much for your help.

Ah, oops - not ideal. Am I better contacting them now and make them aware of my blunder, or play dumb when they come in a few weeks and resolve things then?

I've recently DIY-installed a new waste water pipe to create a utility space in my garage (thanks to @Hugh Jaleak for the advice). The pipe works great; water flows at a 1:40 gradient and goes into the existing drainage at the manhole at the back of our garden. Job's a gooden'. We've...

Hello, We want to add wastewater drainage to our garage to create a small utility space for a washing machine and sink. We are relatively hands-on and confident in DIY, so we wondered whether digging trenches and laying pipework is something that we could do ourselves? I get a little bit...

Hero - that's the one! It appeared to be on max, but in the direction of pulling the door apart. Screwing it the other way has fixed the issue. Thank you so much, your help is really appreciated!!

No idea what I'm looking for or if this image is useful, but this is taken from the top/looking down at the top hinge. Looking up from the bottom looks the same.

Would those be the top and bottom caps on the part of the hinge that's connected to the frame?

Hello, We've got a couple of uPVC doors at the front & back of our house - both have developed an identical problem. The door seal works perfectly around the door frame except around the top-right hinge, where a gap lets through a nasty draught. I've looked online at several...

Thank you both so much, your advice and knowledge are greatly appreciated.

Something a bit like this. Would you suggest getting something to cover the backplate or can I pop the RX1 back on to cover the wires?

You offer great confidence! Will something like this suffice to join the cables?

Okay, excellent. And please excuse the ignorance - I'm an IT professional by trade - but is "join the common/live into normally open or alter at the wiring center" something that I can do as a DIY'er, or am I best having an electrician/plumber sort this? I really appreciate your help, thank...

Thanks, Chris. So just to clarify - I can fit the new Drayton Hub to where the previous Danfoss programmer was (picture 1) and then I need to sort out the wiring behind the RX1, which I've photographed below:

Hi all, Hope you all had a Merry Christmas! Santa brought a new Drayton Wiser Kit 2 that I'm hoping to swap with our current Danfoss RX1 system. As far as I understand the Danfoss system uses a standard backplate and therefore I think I can swap it with the new Drayton Wiser Kit. However, I...
