Having trouble locating any and would be grateful if anyone knows of stockists. They are to be used for aesthetic reasons so bending not an option. Though looks like it's going to happen! Thank you

All the shower traps I can find are, for obvious reasons I guess, very low profile. However because of pipe clearances and very limited room to work or make alterations, I find I need a deeper trap (like the photoshopped pic below), so that the waste exits around 90mm below the shower tray base...

Mrs wants an industrial style shower. I'm concerned that the attached pic setup will be difficult to balance hit and cold with the inputs directly opposite each other...or am I over thinking it? Also would prefer to use compression joints with 15mm galvanized steel for exposed pipework. Any...

I ordered a shower tray from Screwfix which was six days late arriving. Whilst waiting I connected the rest of the 32mm sink waste into 40mm shower waste into 100mm soil pipe. Solvent welded in, its done, cant be changed. All FloPast. Shower tray finally arrived and because of the usual fitting...

32mm sink waste needs to join 40mm shower waste and continue to soil stack. Cant find one anywhere.....am I missing something? Thanks

Re routing a soil pipe so the vent will be concealed behind sloping ceiling plasterboard between the roof joists. Two questions. Will AAV work with the 110mm vent pipe at 45 degrees? If no, could I remove the valve, step down the 110mm pipe to 40mm and extend into the loft space. Would a 40mm...

Want to leave pipes exposed, industrial sort of look. Any suggestions for pipes, fittings?

I believe a soil pipe vent valve should be installed 1 metre higher than the highest water waste on the 1st floor of a house....as is shown in the picture attached. Is there any reason that pipe cannot be installed at 45 degrees between the roof joists as I've badly tried to illustrate. Does...

....well I think so. A week ago moisture from a kettle condensated on kitchen tiles and ran down into the wall switches marked hob, dishwasher, extract fan.....bang the rcd blew in the garage fuse box. Reset the switch after drying the kitchen switches out and all was well in the kitchen...

Looking for a new kitchen simple mixer tap but having had a disastrous experience with Bristan Bathroom taps I'd like to get some recommendations (preferably British) regarding manufacturers. Thank you

Hi My son has a small work unit on a farm with a metal roof. The condensation dripping down from the roof is a big problem. Is there a quick fix? I remember a spray on insulation but cant remember what its called and have no idea if its any good. Thanks

why do the cold taps shut off the wrong way?

I paid over a grand for a waterside mc250 as I live in a hard water area. An endless list of plumbing and heating problems has now culminated in the latest plumber surmising that the poxy softener isn't working, probably never has Is there a test I can do?

Badly installed by Banner homes, this thing has given me 7 years of grief. Today it was pronounced terminally ill (not too much sympathy from Gledhill, just the £1300 + vat quote for a new one plus fitting) Well cheerio and dont let the door hit you on the arse on the way out. Plumber has...

My house is 7 years old. Just about every radiator has a pinhole leak and every tap drips. I've tried reseating the taps and new washers, but they (Ideal Standard) just continue to drip. We've a water softener and inhibitor has been applied twice to the heating system. Two questions. Is there...

Is that how it works M4 = 4mm M6 = 6mm ???

I recently shut off both hot and cold water supplies to change some tap washers (why does that never stop the drips?) Since then my boiler makes banging noises, which, as its situated in the garage directly beneath the main bedroom and it fires every night at 2.am, is driving me nuts...

I have a ceiling light fitting in a box bedroom. There are 3 grey mains cables coming from the aperture, two of these have one red, one black and one earth, the third has two red, one of which has been resleeved with a bit of black and an earth. Whay has this fitting got three seperate...

came home from a trip to find the radiator leaking where the pipe goes into the valve that controls the flow (the one with all the numbers on it. Where the hell do I find the stop to shut off the water supply to the system? Where is it likely to be, by the tank, the attic? Is it likely to be...

My son who is working for a woodland / landscaping company needs some work boots. Pref steel toes, waterproof and warm. Will be buying in UK. I'm sure you have some favourites you can recommend ? Thanks
