Bear in mind, sometimes when putting waste pipes from bath and sink into one you get syphoning. gurgling noises from one or other traps when water is pulled from the trap seal, causing smells etc. Easily overcome by anti vac traps etc.

Try and put in an access tee with removable plug (externally), so you can flush out pipe run later on with hose/bamboo stick.

The tiling and everything looks good, therefore are you sure the tiler has not secretly incorporated an access panel to get under the bath. I'm sure you've looked, any cracking in vertical grout? Or has an access hatch been put in other side of wall, taps are on! Or is that the outside wall onto...

Yes it will. A couple of antivac bottle traps would have done the job as well. The washing machine/dishwasher discharging will no doubt push the stale smell from pipe back towards the sink plug hole

Or perhaps two bottle traps.

There appears to be a lot of pipe work from the plug holes in the sinks to the 'U' bend. All that pipe work will smell and the smell will vent up through the plug hole. I think you will need to get the 'U' bend directly under the plugs some how, to form a water seal!

At least S C Johnson & Son Inc. will be happy, they make the stuff. Complete waste of time IMHO, youve done the preventative bit by doing the access eyes, leave it at that! :D

Hire some pipe cutters, http://www.tradecounterdirect.com/hand-tools/pipe-cutters/gripper-plus-pipe-cutter-cuts_size.html a lot less messy and dangerous than using a disc cutter. Still quite hard to do but a sharp cutter will go through the cast irn.

They look like Gallstones :shock: The boiler needs a Doctor, not a plumber!

Sorry I did not come back earlier. Yes I did mean 1500 x 2090mm The made to measure doors I have now had a quote for supply only including VAT: French doors £740 Sliding doors £583 Wickes are £430 all in, £310 difference, quite alot. Still, I suppose you pays yer money and get...

The compact bath sides are normally quite high, so you may need to incorporate a step, in order to get in and out!

I will get it right in minute www.globalbathnetwork.co.uk/spacesavingbaths/ssderwent1600.htm Try that one :)

You can buy 1400, 1500, 1675, 1685 and 1700mm baths. If you cut back the plaster both ends, as leakydave suggests, the taps are hard up against the tiles, also at the other end, your head hits the wall when lying down :( Look around decent plumb merchants and you will find them. Look...

My existing brick to brick width opening size is 1620mm. Height 1090mm. Wickes French doors are 1490mm x 1090mm. Allowing 5mm each side to the wickes door frame = 1500mm. Therefore 1620mm less 1500mm = 120mm divide 2 = 60mm short on both sides. My question being, can I fill...

I installed a wet room upstairs on wooden floor as you are contemplating with this aqua dec and used clear glass blocks as a screen. The dec is quite a job to do and the glass blocks have to be laid with 'wet' mortar. The blocks are also reinforced with metal rods up through the vertical...

As long as you don't insulate it so well, no heat from the room gets to it. Probably the only reason that you have never had a problem, is because heat from the room is escaping into the area the pipes are located :( If that makes sense.

Do you have a thermostat on the hot water cylinder, located 1/4 way up from the floor. If so it may have been turned down a few degrees. This would make the boiler cut out earlier not heating your water to the temperature you had before!

If you have bled air from all places you can, ie all other rads, perhaps a bleed valve in airing cupboard and the pump bleed screw, perhaps you should drain off some water from the rad valves where you have taken off the radiator. Open each valve and catch the water in a bucket, may be an air...

80 units a week I work that out at 893 Kwh About £30 a week (online duel fuel prices). That's not bad for a 5 bed house with this cold weather we've all had. Does that include cooking on gas as well :shock:
