Thanks. So is the bolt thing part of the TRV rather than part of the elbow? I had a look at a pic of the T12S. It seems to have a collar at the top where the bolt is on mine. How would the bolt fit round that? Sorry if Im being thick here.

Hi, I have a slow drip from where the water pipe goes in at the bottom of my radiator. I guess I need to buy a new connection but I don't know what is is called so I cant search for it online. Can someone please take a look at the pic and tell me what to search for? It is the chrome elbow thing...

I have an unvented central heating system ie. hot water tank with expansion tank in the airing cupboard, no cold water tank in the loft. I have noticed recently that water is often coming out of the overflow pipe which comes from somewhere in the airing cupboard to the nearest outside wall. It...

Not inline, its a low profile 150mm but it doesnt have flaps

Just bought a new ceiling extractor fan (Manrose) and had it fitted to the ceiling in my new bathroom. It didnt have any blow back flaps so i attached some ducting pipe in the loft. When the fan is turned on, I tested it with a bit of toilet tissue to see if it is extracting sufficiently and the...

Thanks but it doesn't really say anything about wetrooms. If there's no shower tray, how do I know where the shower area officially ends?

I have just put in a new wetroom. It is 3m x 0.8m. At one end is a shower with a fixed head and a hand held head. In the middle of the wetroom is a washbasin and a wc at the other end. There is no splash screen between the washbasin and the shower, the floor is continuous tiles throughout. There...

I was reading the BAL literature with the type of adhesive I have been recommended and it would seem I need a BAL round notched trowel and a Bal thin bed solid bed trowel. I have searched but can't seem to find anywhere that stocks these. Does anyone know where i can order them from, or...

I have just bought some crystalstone quartz sparkle tiles to put on the walls in a new wetroom I am putting in. Can someone please recommend the best adhesive to use for this type of tile? Thanks

Yes there are some but I cant see how they would be able to use those as the atrium is recessed in the roof top and you cannot see it at all from ground level.

We’ve got this glass atrium in our house roof. Its nice cos it lets the sun into the hall. Although it is supposed to be self cleaning, its getting really grubby so ive been trying to get someone to come and clean it. It would probably mean getting a ladder up to the roof and another on the...

My main stopcock for the water supply into my house is dripping. It is under the kitchen sink, but I think to replace it would mean ripping out the fitted cupboards as it is not easy to get to, so I really want to avoid that. Is there some suitable safe stuff I can apply round the tap barrel...

I don't know if it is fully waterproof. I used BAL superflex and it says it can be used in showers but it also says "water/frost-resistant". I just wondered if it is the done thing to also use a grout sealant or whether it is not necessary.

I have finished tiling my new shower with porcelain tiles and have just grouted using Bal superflex grout. i know I don't need to seal the tiles as they are porcelaoin but do I need to seal the grout? If so, what product would you recommend?

edited. sorry ignore this

When do you need flexible adhesives? Does it depend on the type of tile or the surface you're tiling on? I stuck porcelain tiles to a chipboard floor using BAL single part flexible and I thought I'd get something similar but faster setting for the plasterboard walls (also porcelain tiles) so I...

I too have a Plasplugs diamond wheel electric cutter and am also cutting porcelain tiles. Although the wheel provided cut porcelain ok, I have just swapped it for one of these - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=380127673164 I have to say it is 10...
