I have a downstairs toilet in my house already, and am looking at having it renovated. Its a small room, the length of which shares a brick wall with my garage. Currently the toilet has a sink literally built into the wall (due to lack of space. My bathroom fitter has suggested knocking...

Toilet alcove plan

See that post at //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=177830 if interested. In the end I tacked all the cables to the beams in line with regs as per the Sparkys guidance. Great forum this - always get an answer!

Sorry - one more question... I have an RCD on the main house fuse box (which all the aforementioned cables ultimately feed to). Is that good enough - or do I need to use conduit as well?

Thanks both. I was aware it reduces the effectiveness of the insulation - but I assume it will still be a lot better than what was there before (which was practically nothing). Sounds like I am okay with the cabling in terms of heat - they are all lighting cables (no showers or anything...

I am currently re-boarding my loft (previous owner - botched job, nuff said) and taking the opportunity to lay more loft insulation in the process. The existing insulation is only a few inches deep so I am topping up with 150mm deep Spaceblanket over the top. These are unrolled easily down...

System was installed by a plumber who was part of a builders team that did some extension work for us last year. We fell out with the plumber at the end of the project over poor quality finishing off in the bathroom (sloppy sealant work etc) and would not want him back in the house. This...

Richard - thanks for keeping going with this, its annoying us no end so I am keen to find an answer! To answer your questions: Pretty certain mixer (Imperial 3 control 2 way mixer - Modern) is low pressure friendly with minimum of 0.1 Bar required. Have emailed their support to confirm...

The mixer is an Imperial Thermostatic Bath and Shower Mixer. The pictures attached show the mixer controls. The shower pipe is flexible and attached to the wall outlet shown on the picture (not a fixed pipe right up to the shower head). I'd estimate the vertical distance from the shower...

First bathroom - pipes run under floor boards then into Aqualisa shower controller (which sits on the floor under the shower tray). In first bathroom bath, sink and toilet also plumbed into same feed from pump. All work fine - all the time. No up and over loops. Second bathroom - pipes run...

Lowering the shower head doesn't help. I have attached a picture of the plumbing to the pump. The two pipes from above are the hot and cold gravity feeds. The two pipes heading out of the left side of the picture are to the second bathroom that doesn't work. The two pipes going down in the...

I have two upstairs bathrooms running showers connected to a single Aqualisa 3TE 4Bar pump. Initially I had one bathroom attached - then in a recent extension build had a second bathroom built and plumbed into the pump. The first bathroom works fine - and the pump kicks in correctly every...
