#1 House is sold (we sold on 1st May). The waste disposal is not listed in particulars and was not mentioned to prospective buyers, nor on the TA6 form (or whichever form all the fixtures and fittings were listed) #2 Aware which is precisely why I was asking about what I needed after taking...

Thank you, That looks exactly what I need. Do I need a trap to go with it (I think S-traps or P-traps are now banned??) Would the kitchen strainer waste work with a bottle trap? XRD

Hi folks, I am shortly moving house and would like to take the Insinkerator Waste Disposal unit to the new house. The unit is fitted to the small bowl of a 1.5 bowl stainless steel sink. What parts would I need to obtain from a plumber's merchant / Screwfix / Toolstation to allow me to remove...

Ahh, thanks - you make a good point. Hadn't thought of that! Regarding the installation of a split A/C, as the proposed unit is a heater in winter and chiller in summer, I'm guessing you should call it a heat pump rather than an air-conditioning unit and then it should be allowed under PD...

It seems that even asking the local council (Sheffield) if Planning Permission is required, I have to sump up £126 to be possibly told "No, you don't need Planning Permission". XRD

For years we have toyed with the idea of getting a wall-mounted a/c fitted to the bedroom and, if reasonable cost, the main living room and/or our home office. We have a portable unit with window exhaust kit but it struggles to get the room cool. We are now about to move house so I'm thinking...

Ahh ... okay. I couldn't see the link between light fittings and plinth heaters but now I understand - thank you : ) XRD

Thanks to all that offered help/advice/suggestions. Now sorted on both problem doors! Happy bunny! XRD

Sorted. I managed to do this before I saw your post, but thank you nevertheless! XRD :)

Rear door is solved! There is a 2.5mm Allen screw retaining the lock. I was pretty sure that (a) we hadn't given the company (Everest I think) making the door a lock to fit and (b) that I'd replaced the lock myself sometime in the past. Now to have a look at the Porch Door. XRD

Nope @opps. There is some movement of the lock in the rear door but no matter what the orientation of the key, I cannot remove the lock. Given that I have swapped over numerous Eurostyle cylinders, I know that getting the correct key orientation can be somewhat tricky, but no joy whatsoever...

Okay - here you go. Each picture numbered for ease of identification. Pictures 1-4 are of the front door. There may be an attached bit to the right-hand door (mullion?) There appear to be 4 screws that may retain this but I havent tried to remove this piece yet! There is no lock...

Okay so a question (pics will be posted tomorrow after being taken in daylight!) I am in the process of moving house. We have five uPVC multi-point locking external doors. All of these doors have high-security ABS locks on them. Three of the Eurostyle cylinders are easy to remove - the...

An interesting and informative post @flameport, but how does this relate to a plinth heater as the document is talking about lighting (or more specifically, halogen bulbs)? Also, your typed post talks about Zone 3 but there is no Zone 3 indicated on the diagrams (unless it is the 'Outside...

As the thread title says, this is possibly a Building Regs Question about Plinth Heaters. I find them very effective. I'd like one in my bathroom (away from the bath, sink, shower and w.c. obviously. Can one be fitted in a bathroom or is it a big 'no-no' (I suspect I already know the answer)...

Brilliant, thank you chaps. You’ve got it spot on or should I say “You’ve hit the nail on the head” Many thanks, especially denso13 for providing that link. Mr Rusty made me think of watching The Magic Roundabout on TV as a kid just before the news with Florence, Dougal, Ermintrude, Dylan and...

Not sure whether this query should go here or in General DIY. Mods, please move if you feel it is appropriate, thank you. Trying to sell a cot/bed. We have all of the fixings for the toddler-sized bed. The high-sided cot version is missing eight of these fixings (pictured below). In order...

Quite right (bit in red). It is the medium - be it a liquid like water or a gas like air - that moves upwards (because it is less dense) whillst the coder (more dense fluid - be it liquid or gas) falls. Incidentally, this wouldn't happen at all if it wasnt for gravity. [Bit in blue]...

Thanks CD. In your opinion, would marine ply over the orange decoupling mat be fine? XRD

Thank you for your reply. Thinking of fitting a heating cable rather than a mat. What sort of board or insulation is suitable to go over the cable but under the vinyl floor covering? Thinking of using this kind of decoupling mat over the insulated floor. Can I just put a marine plywood...
