Muggles, you beauty! Thanks for the help. I will definitely be taking that on board. (I would have gone wrong). Another thing.....I opened the floor and notice that the 22mm hot water supply is not copper. It looks old school. Grey in colour. What is this material likely to be? Is it lead...

I am installing a wall mounted bath mixer. The copper pipes need to be chased into the walls to get around the bath lip....for the rest the pipes will run below the bath. Do I need to isolate the copper pipes from the wall where they are chased? Can I put tile adhesive over the mixer? Does the...

Thanks Stuart.

Hi all I am redoing my downstairs bathroom and two downstairs bedrooms with the main change being putting waterbased underfloor heating in 50mm screed on 50mm celotex and 18mm WBP ply. The construction is 100x50 timber joists at 350 centres spanning 1500 onto sleeper walls with a slate...

I have just ordered the following: Drayton 22mm Mid Position Valve 27101BQ Brass/White 22mm Compression. I plan to look at the new valve and compare the amount of rotation I can get on the current valve with the new one. Then I have the option to replace. Also, what do you think if I close...

Hi all I think it would be best to start off by saying that my 8 months pregnant wife has had no access to hot water for three days now. Over the weekend I took out 2 radiators and blanked off the flow and return. (I am going to be putting in underfloor heating). Everything went well until we...
