The ID at the top is about 120 although it's not perfectly round. It seems to be stepped and is 110mm about 80mm down. If I stick the standard connector down further it's a good fit. Looks like I need an extension or a long 90 connector if such a thing exists. I'll then be...

Hi, I have an awkward back to wall close coupled WC to fit. It has a horizontal outlet. The existing soil connection is vertical. The soil pipe ID is a bit bigger than a standard 90 deg. WC connector I've tried and is not a snug fit. The old scabby existing WC is one with a vertical...

Sure, but do you know the answer to my question? I guess it's a tricky one.

Hi, At some stage I'll be doing a loft conversion and adding a second bathroom. I thought joining into the existing soil pipe would be the easiest way to connect a new WC. My existing soil connection is an odd one. I've asked a couple of plumbers their opinion and they have yet to give...

Thanks Charnwood.

Hi, I have a close coupled back to wall toilet to fit into a vertical soil connection. I was planning to make up a bracket to hold a 90 degree connector like this: http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Plumbing/Pan%20Connectors/90°%20Pan%20Connecto/d20/sd2887/p37429 I'm wondering if it's...

Thanks Gents. As Woody picked up, the proposed place for these old tiles is a sealed drywall cavity to an outside (North facing) wall. I want to protect the pipes against the cold. I'll be running new shower pipes in the cavity (no Electrics) I have slowly been removing the best part...

Defo not gloss. Just emulsion I think. Would gloss be a problem?

An update: After removing the boarded tiles from the lower have of this wall it can clearly be seen that there are 2 different materials (brick and some type of block?) meeting right where the crack appears above. Woodys "contraction crack" seems to make sense to me. Thanks to him and...

Hi I've studded out 1 of my bathroom walls to hide a shower valve. It's an outside brick and stone wall. There's an original stud wall, of lathe and plaster maybe 60mm deep half way up (photo attached). My new stud wall is 89mm (CLS 4x2s) deep. I have an abundance of old polystyrene...

I'm a Mech. Engineer to trade so I'm reasonably handy. I'm no tradesman though, the nearest I'd ever get to being a tradesman would be if I........ 8) It should have been tradesperson really. :oops:

Thanks a lot for the replies Gents. The pictures are snapshots from a video clip Woody, sorry about the quality. The outside wall is fine and looking at the boxing in that was done to hide it it's been there 10 years+. It's getting filled, drywalled and tiled. cheers.

Hi, I've just removed a section of what I thought was going to be boxed in old redundant pipes. Instead I've found a big dirty crack :( The wall is solid brick or concrete. House is 100 years old. There's nothing above other than the roof. Anybody have an idea what could cause...
