Yes, it's so that the WC and basin can be side by side. Don't yet know which WC and basin we will eventually get.

It will be a P trap and will be located 6 inches to the left of the soil pipe. Thank you for all your assistance.

I want to cap it off temporarily until the room has been updated, then I will fit a new WC but in a slightly different position. In order to do that I will need to connect with either a flexible connector or other suitable alternative.

Thanks for that, very helpful.

Thank you. Will the drain connection be larger than the 120mm used these days?

Currently in the process of updating a 1970's house. The downstairs toilet has the original WC and I want to remove it but I'm a bit concerned as it looks like it is cemented in place and it looks a lot to be a larger diameter. I want to cap it off so that I can replace it with a new one so...

We've decided to go with tiles. Got some F-Ball 1200 to do the levelling. :)

Thank you, I'll see if I can get some. I was thinking of Karndean rigid core flooring as I have enough to do that area, but may get ceramic or porcelain floor tiles if that would be a better option.

I had originally thought of using self levelling compound over the tiles in our porch, but they were so far out I decided to take them up yesterday. The base is a bit damp so I need to find a self levelling compound suitable for using in this situation. The porch is 1.5m x 2.5m and was built in...

Thanks for that. I already have a couple of packs of Karndean Palio core which is why I was thinking of using those. I have put plenty of both Karndean and Amtico glue down but I managed to get the Palio core from eBay as there is just the right amount. Why would glue down be better in this...

Did you use a primer on the tiles?

Thanks, I'll have a look.

I need to level our 2.5 x 1.5m porch so I can lay some Karndean rigid core flooring. The tiles are uneven so I need to get the floor level, what is the best primer and self levelling compound to use for this situation? The tiles are very well stuck down so I don't really want to take them up.

We have a double garage with a flat roof and a utility room behind which measures 8 x 5mtrs in total. It currently has a rubber covering but it has lifted in places and pools in others. I have just had a local roofer round to have a look and he suggested that it should have new boarding down to...

Because I need a smooth wall to paint. When I stripped the wallpaper off (Anaglypta) some of the paint was pulled off which leaves the wall very patchy.

I'm in the process of updating a 1971 house. I stripped the wallpaper of and it has left large areas of paint. I think it must have been put on as a base coat before wallpapering. I don't know what type of paint it is so not sure what to use to remove it. I have tried sanding a small area but it...

Thanks for that. I'm thinking I should not go for the quick dry one as I have three walls to do. Is it as good as they say or will I get some cracks coming through after a few months?

I am updating the lounge in our 1970's house and there are quite a few long cracks which need filling and there will be a smallish chase to fill. I stripped the wallpaper and coving off and have opened up the cracks with a shavehook. I have read on here that Toupret is one of the best fillers to...

Thank you, very much appreciated.

I'm in the process of updating a 1970s house. I will be fitting some new skirting boards and need some advice on which primer and paint to use. I will also be stripping the old architrave and skirting where it's in good condition. On our previous house I used Valspar eggshell and it was a...
