Fitting a new baty that has been sealed numerous times. Want to get it done properly this time. It's currents sitting against 250mm plastic cladding that goes behind the bath not brought down on to it and not a clue what sealant has been use (loooks like caulk in some parts!!!!) Anyway...

Main are made by Baxi. In my smaller 2 bed properties I fit MAIN. Big bigger 3/4 beds I fit Baxi. Both reliable and easy to work on. Less warranty with the MAIN.

That's my eyesight and trying to type to fast in my mobile mate. No mole. They will inspect the leaking lead pipe. They found the isolator inside. Then pressure test. But they have done several in the same area/streets and they all seem to be in the same place and it's normally just a...

They came out today. I did not know the boy who came to job but knew the owners and few of the boys who work there. He stated it's lead pipe just by the sound and it's outside 100% (Welsh Water fold tenant it was definitely in the kitchen and a big job, I have the report and their list of...

Yep.done it. Good boys. Local rugby boys. Hibs told me no point digging.

Going to disc out/breaker a hole in the slab and dig down to find the leak. Looking to do it Thursday after work. I'll post some pics of what I find. Cheers all.

I have not checked to see what pipe is coming out of meter as u say it's full of debris. The leak is definitely my problem/side and near the house external wall. I have access to a large sds/pick/mattock etc. It's just the actual time to do it t tbh. I've asked a several local plumbers and...

@pete01. I bet that's the original leak detective. With his duck and teleportation. No problem digging it up as it's only a short distance but if it's rotten steel or whatever they used to use then is a repair with it? I'd love to take it back to the meter and replace it all the tbh but...

Hi I have leak that is 'bubbling' up on my property near the edge of my extension. I have contacted Welsh Water amd they have stated it is my problem to repair. Their stop cock/isolator is 4m away in the outside lane. I have failed to find an internal form of isolation.... How do I...

Plus I'll sit it on a batten that will be sealed.

Anyone recommend a seal that on wall and just onto bath. It goes behind tiles and only provides a small 'lip' to to a seal.

So it's just a brand name. They seem to have sold a lot of them and hardly any bad FB except for there where no holees for a 'tap'. Going to order it. Another question. I want to put a seal from wall that goes onto bath. Seen them but never fitted one. Bath will be batten supported and...

So what is this Lucite Acrylic? 'Not all acrylic baths are made the same! One way that inferior baths cut costs is to use lower grade acrylic. - Rest assured that this bath is made with the very best - Genuine Lucite acrylic. - A beautiful surface texture that feels comfortable against the...

How do I know the McAlpine waste overflow hole fits the bath listed? I have read with a decent bath and one of the best McAlpine wastes/overflows silicone is not needed. But in every video they ditch the thin white foam 'seal' and use silicone?? Cheers mate.

Hi all. Fitting a new bath as old one is dirty/grubby and has chipped corner. I've looked at ones in BQ/Wickes and Selco and was shocked by the quality of them!!! Very thing and the waste holes were awful! You would need a tube of silicone and hope for a decent seal! They are nothing like...

Is it worth using a double pole Fused isolator and taking it down to 3a or manufacture spec when off lighting circuit?

Hi all. I have x2 backyard outside lights to go up and deciding whether to put them on downstairs ring Ona switched double pole fuses spur (incase water gets in etc) Or do I feed them from downstairs lights and use standard light switch or similar? Cheers

Like a diode.

But the NRV has a built in isolator that is knackered so it has to come off anyway. Looks likes it's already on the feed side but needs replacing. I presume it will have an arrow on it? Not sure which way it should fave but I know it's there to stop CH water back feeding into the into the...

I think it depends on the quality of the 10mm pipe tbh. If it's dented/marked then surely a compression would be better? That's just my thinking. It is easily accessible. I'm just converting two 10mm rad connections that are constantly getting hit when hoovering and cleaning. It's endless...
