Hi all. I'm mid way through a bathroom renovation. As part of this I will be moving the T on the vertical 110mm soil stack down into the 1st floor void (its above floor level at the moment). The stack currently vents up through the loft and out of the roof. As part of this, ideally I want to...

I defo cant get down to ground, its fully in-cased in the wall in the kitchen which is new and then into a concrete floor in the kitchen behind cabinet. I could replace it from the T in the bathroom and up. Beyond that plastic bend it goes back to pitch again and out the roof (and leaks). Being...

its defo not metal. I suspect plastic but i dont know

Thanks. Here is a picture of the collar in the loft

Hi. I'm doing a bathroom renovation. I want to move the toilet along the wall which means lowering the T in the soil stack into the floor so I can run it under the floor. Now a while back when I had my kitchen done, my builder said "you know you have an asbestos soil stack". I'm not sure. Google...

Thanks. I have been trying to get the installer back and to fix it for a year. The system is 1 year old this month. My experience with plumbers has not been great...therefore im trying to glean the answers here so i can get direct an engineer to the correct solutions for the problems i am...

Hi All. Ive got a few issues with my recently installed heating system. The plumber that fitted it did a good enough job of running pipes and installing rads, but i have issues with noise, trapped air and rads heating up slowly, and the boiler was left in defaults for all settings. He also...

I'll just get the pipe moved. My concern was in the event if a CU fire my house disappears from existence. A bit of electrical tape isn't going to help me much there.

Which cost is passed onto the consumer, who is forced to hire a certified person

What with please. Note it's tight to the wall so can lag it

No drama. I'll ask the guy back tomorrow. Probably an hour job to move it. Interesting that I had an electrician out as well the week after the pipe was put in and they did a load of work on the CU. Didn't mention the pipe. Although I guess they only care about their regs.

Clearly a professional and a certificate that they are one is no guarantee that your installation is safe.

Eh?

Is this an issue? Gap is about 6cm. Should the plumber have installed the gas pipe this way and should I ask them to reroute it next time they are here? There are other potential routes and the installation is 4 months old. It just dawned on me that this might not be great in the event of a CU...

You might just have cracked it for me. Not a lot came out (maybe 2 seconds), but it seems to have stopped the issue as far as I can tell. Will monitor it. It quite tricky to tell as the worst tap is the furtherst from to boiler so it's tricky to hear it.

Yeah there is a capped pipe in the airing cupboard. I know there are two capped in the kitchen wall as well, hot and cold. Can't get to those. I could have the airing cupboard one ripped out when we have the bathroom done.

We recently had our heating and water system replaced with a combi. One thing that's really frustrating and probably costing us money, the boiler fires every time a cold tap, toilet or appliance is closed. This also seems to cause a build up of pressure in the hot taps. We have fairly high flow...

I have what looks like asbestos on my garage ceiling. Construction was 1967. Flat roof, with nothing above. See pic attached. I've had various trades in for various things. Options ranging from, that's cement board, to that's asbestos, to that's asbestos but not the dangerous stuff. I need...

That looks ideal. And cheap. Thank you

Morning. I just had my single pipe system replaced with all new pipes and rads. We have 4x chases to deal with on external walls. 2 drops from upstairs and 2 across walls to rad locations. The chases are not deep enough to put pipe lagging on the pipes. I know i need some protection before...
