Thanks TT Couldn't get access to outside of vertical tile hanging, so cut a hole in plasterboard ceiling and threaded flexi hose to outside soffit board. Lucky all ceilng joists going the right way for a change. Hung out small window and cut hole in external soffit, fixed vent grille. I've...

Glad you got it sorted. It's quite satisfying to work through the problem and fix things, gets quite additive - especially with the wealth of info online :)

I notice you don't have any skirting board along your dwarf wall, so perhaps you could use these preformed skirting boards that conceal the pipework. 10mm would be easy to hide in that. Just some examples quickly found, better searching may turn up better looking stuff.......just gives you an...

Large rooms with a rad one end draws cool air along the floor to the rad, heated air rises off the rad past the window over the ceiling and the resulting cooling air back along the floor again, just where your armchair is! Try and place the rad somewhere that will balance the air flow. I...

Note in the drawing the hot supply coming from the hot water cylinder is not from the top, ie i/3 down. Does your existing pump arrangement have the same, if not review again.

It's a Stuart and Turner Monsoon N2.0 Bar Twin Serial number 0710034-126 I beleive they make a universal pump now that does both negative and positive. www.stuart-turner.co.uk/products/monsoon/universal-pumps

Can't help you I'm afraid. Don't understand why the pump can't supply a single tap to the basin. My twin pump located in the ist floor airing cupboard pumps into the loft for basin hot and cold, bath hot and cold! WC mains fed, so as to stop pump kicking in when all asleep.

How do you get the 100mm dia vent past the external vertical tile hanging and make weather tight? They are normal small roof tiles.

......and to be totally cynical :twisted: Your lettings agent is suspiciously knowledgeable about boilers, just make sure he isn't drumming up bogus work. I said it would be cynical :shock:

You should have had a gas safety certificate for your all your gas appliances, so perhaps you should use the same person who carried that out. If you do not know of a trades person then I'm sure your lettings agent will. They normally have their favourite engineers on hand, expect perhaps to...

Tenant called to say the WC / loo was smelling of drains. Called in and yes could smell it. Thought the multi quick was leaking/disturbed so took whole thing out and changed it, resealed, new cone washer between cistern /WC and still smelling. Old wooden toilet seat, rusted on and not...

Has a bird made a nest in the top of the stack. Has the top of the stack got a durgo valve www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-axv110-air-admittance-valve-black/35001?cm_mmc=Google-_-Product%20Listing%20Ads-_-Sales%20Tracking-_-sales%20tracking%20url&gclid=CMy6s7qlkrECFSsntAod7VhClA

It then turned into a three legged stool.

...in that case, leave the grate in place.

...it will also act act as a bike wash.

8) Why not build yourself a wet room, leave off the gully grate and squat over that :idea: :wink: ................turn the shower on after!!!

One of these will solve the rainwater butt from having to be emptied manually. www.waterbuttwarehouse.co.uk/downpipe-connectors The boss on the soil pipe for waste pipe will allow for a certain degree off horizontal, shouldn't be a problem. But the idea of putting...

You say new build, does the place come with an NHBC 10 year guarantee. That may or may not cover that sort of thing.

www.screwfix.com/p/soil-strap-boss-sp319/49547 You need the boss adapter to fit into the soil strap. Cut the white horizontal pipe in the middle, then pull out pipe from main soil pipe, insert new rubber boss and then fix a straight connector where you have cut, either a solvent weld or...
