The current floor got soaked when the shower leaked and has gone to mush, also I redoing the pipe work so need to lift it anyway. The joists run the length, so the 3180, and are 400 apart

I am replacing the chipboard in the bathroom with 3/4 marine ply. The sheets measure 1200mmx 2440mm, the bathroom is 3180 x 1820 mm, I'm thinking 3 sheets, two fitted whole and the other to fill the spaces?

Cheers Dan, that will save me a length of pipe. :D

Yes, forgot about that! Was done in jean this year, so that explains the 2 feeds then, was it one mains, one from the tank?

Hi, hopefully a plumber or someone who knows what they are talking about can answer this. I'm redoing the bathroom in new year, and need to redo pipe work as it's currently a foot off the floor. The way they are set out I'm not sure is correct, so I will explain it and you can tell me. As...

So no matter if there are turns, it's the total length from start to end?

Hi, I'm reading on places on the net that if the bath waste to soil distance is more than 2m to use 50mm pipe. Is this a straight line, or the total distance from trap to soil?

What do I need to do, cut it out then? And how do I put new one in?

Hi all, I'm looking to re do the bathroom in the new year, as your will see from the below pictures it is rather out dated. I'm needing to move the toilet from the left of the soil stack ( as you look at it) to the right. I have taken some pictures to show what I mean, but once all the pipes...

Sorry if this is wrong place but cannot see a bathroom section. We are redoing the bathroom and will be tiling the wall from top to bottom and the floor. the misses wants coving, the plaster stuff, but ive been informed that it will get all mouldy with the condensation in there. Is this true?

Thanks guys. I was after a slow on time, and looking into it it is cfl bulbs THT achieve this, but the start up can be minutes, not a few seconds as I wanted. Think ill convince the misses to go for the dimmer pull cord instead, cheers

Hi all, I'm currently rebuilding my downstairs toilet, what a project I let myself in for! Anyway the wife drops on me tonight she wants a pull light switch that brings the lights on through a dim to full brightness. Better explained you pull the switch, on comes light dim going all the way up...

The bottom one looks good. Will it accommodate the 1 1/4 waste and 2 15mm water pipes? And where will I get it from?

I want to run some speed fit pipe under the floor in the cloak room toilet, which has a concrete floor. The specs say it should be in a access box with lid, which will be hidden under the floor I lay when finished, but where do I get it from, I'm looking everywhere but can't see it?

It is an outside wall, yes. What is your thinking here? Bensparks, ill measure up that idea. The patch is where there was a concreat block under old pan but new one can go anywhere, so putting it against that outside was and in casing that pipe in the new build is an option.

Hi, i have a downstairs toilet and have removed it all as it was leaking from the waste pipe and the pan was broke at the bottom. I want to replace it with a modern type closed type toilet, but as you can see from the pics my soil stack is to the side, and quite far forward. I have looked down...

House 1979 build, think the boiler was put in when built. The board is sitting on a wood frame, with the board on it between the boiler and the plasterboard wall. Have. Feeling that the false wall around it was added later, as my neighbour has same unit and it is just free standing in the open...

Hi, I have a Johnson and staley warm air system, being replaced in a few weeks by a nice wet central heating system throughout. I just pulled down the plasterboard wall surrounding it, and on the far end and back wall behind wall is board that is different from the plasterboard. It looks...

There is a plastic cap on the top, with small holes I thought were vents? Do you think it could be another reason for the smell then?

Hi, I have a up and downstairs toilet, but they are on the front and back of the house. The upstairs goes to the mail waste pipe and vents out of the roof vent. The downstairs, think is an add on later. The soil stack vents in to the room the toilet is located, next to the pan. After a use! The...
