I am going to replace my towel radiator with a vertical one which is the same size and has the same width between the pipes but gives out more heat. It fixes in much the same way as a towel radiator. Will I have to drain the system down or can I get away without having to do this. I have...

Just a word of warning. Radiators tend to give out much more heat than towel rails so make sure that your bathroom is going to be warm enough. I replaced our old radiator with a towel rail and it was absolutely freezing last winter. It is now going to cost me a small fortune to replace...

Having learnt the hard way that a towel warmer is nowhere near as good as an old fashioned radiator I now need to replace mine. I am left with limited options though as I have pipes through the wall 450mm apart. There are products out there that are 500mm by 1800 and seem to give out...

I have just the opposite problem! I would like to open up the air vent in the bathroom as its gets a lot of condensation and there is not an extractor fan. The air vent was blocked up and tiled over but we have removed the tiles. The air brick is clearly visible on the outside and we...

We have an old fashioned gravity fed system with a cylinder. We replaced the bathroom suite last year and fitted a towel warmer type radiator as we didnt have the width for our original radiator. Although the pipes had to be altered a bit to accomodate the new radiator I am sure that nothing...

I have just had a mini argument with my husband as it has dawned on me that since we have not needed any heating in the hot weather our bathroom radiator is always cold. This may not seem odd but I am convinced that before we had it replaced by the current towel rail model it was always warm if...

Toilet is a niagara ajanta - my friend fitted it. Cant see a problem where it connects to the soil branch - no leakage that I can see. It is smaller overall than original WC but is in same place.

Right, I will have a look at the vent pipe but it is capped by a mesh top so probably isnt blocked. Our drainage is the two pipe system, ie the bath and basin go out of one wall into a hopper and then down to the same drain as the utility sink. The toilet goes out of another wall into the...

Thanks all. The toilet was only fitted last year and simply replaced an old one with which there wasn't a problem. It is on an outside wall and the soil pipe itself must go down the outside wall and then under our extension floor to who knows where because I havent been able to find a...

I have noticed that whenever the toilet lid is left down for any period of time there is an unpleasant smell in the bathroom but when I lift the lid the toilet itself does not really seem to smell. Anybody any ideas about this. On one occasion there was a bit of a smell coming from the...

I see what you mean. Yes, we just turned the tap in the loft a bit to reduce the flow of water - but just for the cold water - thinking it might stop the water hammer from the toilet. For some reason this became a trickle over time so we had to turn it back up again. The hot comes via the...

We have had our bathroom suite for just over a year and fairly recently I have noticed a banging in the pipes shortly after the basin taps (ceramic mixer) are turned on. Tends to be with the hot but the cold causes bangs too. Tends to be when taps are on relatively full and only when they have...
