    Water Pooling in Bath Plug Hole

    Or possibly the outlet pipework rises to an Invert Level the same height as your standing water level in the plug hole, unfortunately to remedy that would mean taking off the bath panel and checking the pipework

    Loft trussed roof ideas

    Perhaps things may redistribute when you get the design snow load on the roof (75kg/m2 standard) which will then double or more the load that the current concrete tiles give (40 -80kg/m2) and the "lot of weight" becomes a lot lotter. I should imagine a SE will run a mile if asked to look at your...

    Towel Radiator not working

    Put a towel under the rad and open the air bleed valve and let it issue water for a couple on minutes whilst the heating is on and see if any warmth comes through the pipe, I assume its a combi boiler so put the pressure up to 1.5 bar so it doesn't cut the boiler out.

    Advice on mains flow rate

    When he does make sure you he gives you the dynamic pressure at the meter and hopefully one at the kitchen tap so the losses in the supply pipe are determined which can then be crossed checked with the theoretical losses.

    Principal elevation L shaped house

    Well if I was asked to draw a front elevation of your house it could be at the walls looking from the South or the walls looking from the West, either way your proposed extension would be behind the walls forming the principal elevation view as per comment 4. It certainly looks as if the...

    FTB - Loft Space making me feel uneasy - Video Included.

    As Wayners states, appears to be just a strengthening of existing timbers probably due to doubling of roof weight due to conc tiles, all looks good. Funny thing is if it hadn't been strengthened you would have looked in loft and thought looks OK up here (unless things had started to bend but...

    Advice on mains flow rate

    What, try and guesstimate the rate of flow with a cloth over the flow? If your musing about the blanking cap is correct then possibly try and manufacture a connection to this point with a length of hose connected to it so flow can then be turned on and measured by discharge rate into a bucket...
