It maybe worth checking the fee with your LA for this though. I spoke to mine last week and they quoted a fee of over £500 for notifying and testing any electrical work!

Hi folks I've fitted a new back to wall pan and concealed cistern today and all has gone well apart from the cistern seems to take a little while to fill. The cistern is fed from the tank which is about 1.9 meters above the toilet. The new cistern is a Macdee Pneu-compact. It has a...

Hi folks Is the only option the rubber boot seal with the jubilee clips? thanks Carl.

Hi Mike Sorry forgot about the pics! Excuse the random 22mm pipe work and cables, all those will be sorted out when the toilet is removed. This is a top down view showing how the pipe needs to move (not to scale obviously...!). This is the side on view This is where I can...

Pics of Carl's bathroom

Hi folks Thanks to everyone for the great advice on the gas pipe previously. I'm now starting to look at moving the waste pipe to the wc. I have an internal CI soil pipe that runs vertically through the house and out through the roof. There is only one wc connected to the pipe. The...

Hi folks. I'm doing some work in our bathroom at the moment, and we'd like to install an illuminated mirror (with shaver socket built in) and an extractor fan. Our current lighting circuits (upstairs and down) are live and neutral only and don't have an earth. I can't afford to have the...

plumbers been out and replaced the section of pipe today. The score hadn't penetrated the pipe (ooeer!). £60 all in and took about 40 minutes. Thanks for all your help folks, much appreciated.

thanks Godknows we had traced the gas pipe all the way up until it enters an airing cupboard next to the bathroom. Where we had expected it to go straight on flat against the wall it rather strangely comes on a diagonal angle across the board. No idea why it is that way, but will ask the...

thanks bahco this is pipe that is old stuff (atleast 15 years). There is an off cut off pipe under the floor by the gas pipe and it is around 3/4mm thick. I've called a corgi, just waiting or him to call me back now.

wow I didn't realise that this would get such a response, thanks everyone. There certanly isn't a leak on the pipe at the moment. I've checked it again this morning and there is no smell or bubbling. I don't have the stuff to do the soldering but my f-i-l does as he does the wet stuff, so...

Sorry for the ignorance but what does AR mean? I presume RGI is registered gas installer? I've just checked the pipe again and there is still no sign of a leak, there's also no smell of gas (in a very small bathroom with door and windows closed for a while) namsag - are there any...

thanks mattylad will it be ok over night or should I turn the gas off? is the soldering something I can do myself or should I get a plumber out? many thanks

sorry namsag I wasn't suggesting that what you said wouldn't be safe, I was just after a second opinion or other options. sorry to offend... :oops:

thanks folks. for clarity it is 1 to 2mm deep and about and about 4cm long (only 2mm deep in the middle of this the rest is about 1mm). Would it be ok to add some solder into it as per namsag's suggestion?

Hi folks My f-i-l has been around today to start lifting the floor boards to start our bathroom refit. On cutting through one board we've discovered a gas pipe running at an angle under it!! When cutting the board we have scratched the top of the pipe with the saw. Its got a scratch...

Thanks for the replies and the help folks. Can you get a 32mm reducer for a 40mm equal tee from the sheds?
