Ohh that's interesting, I had no idea they existed. I'll look in to that thank you.

I made some progress but cutting down the grohe pipe to as small as it will go. The vertical height is about 50mm higher than I would have liked but it's the best I can do. I now need to figure out the horizontal alignment. It's a very small and narrow cloakroom toilet so putting it in the...

I'm having difficulties figuring out how I can connect the grohe wall hung frame waste to my existing soil pipe/waste. The grohe frame clamps the waste in place which allows you to alter the angle or have it go straight down. Once the toilet is on the wall the toilet slides on to this waste pipe...

Sorry I didn't make that clear. Originally it was 5 days (Monday to Friday) at £130 but then 2 of them turned up at a rate of £130 per day each. The real issue is whether you pay them for a full day when they finish at 1pm?

Before I start I'm happy to be told I'm wrong with this but looking for a 2nd opinion. We've had a painter in recently and his work has been very good to be fair, however when we asked for the final bill it's been more than we were lead to believe. Without going in to specifics, it comes down...

I've successfully bunged my central heating system a number of times to change valves etc. I need to extend a pipe which requires me to solder a coupler (never done it before but doesn't seem too difficult) to a new length of pipe. When I have bunged it before it ranges from a small trickle to...

Cheers John! I now have my fan and light working, just the wrong way around as you warned me it would be. I'll figure the final piece of the puzzle out at the weekend!

Great stuff, that worked. Thanks for your help.

Both in the right hand side?

The decorator knocked the switch today and I am trying to figure out how to connect it back up. I have a suspicion this was never wired correctly in the first place. It controls both a light and a fan, the single switch controls both the light and fan which come on and off at the same time. The...

Thanks for the confirmation, really helpful. Looks like I fixed the 3 way valve so I think that's a decent result.

I think my theory last night may have been correct regarding the water having not been used at all yesterday so therefore the hot water didn't need to actually be on. I had a 10 minute shower this morning and the hot water switched on straight away after plus the heating didn't come on at the...

Ok a strange twist. I followed the instructions I found online and in the checkout guide it suggested cranking up the thermostat on the boiler to maximum, then turning the water on continuous. The boiler fired up straight away. I have put the boiler thermostat back to the suggested 60 degrees...

I've had Tado running over the past week with mixed results. The main issue was that when the scheduled water came on so did the heating. Not ideal when it's as warm as it is at the moment. Tado support (and various sources on the internet) suggested the 3 port mechanical valve, a common problem...

Why couldn't they just do this to begin with?! Really pleased with it now though.

I had a new PVC back door installed today, along with all of the windows being replaced. Tomorrow the same firm install a composite door and side panel. I'm not sure what to make of the quality of the sealing around the back door. I'm not sure I'd be happy if the same is replicated on the...

Sorry for the late reply, I got around to this yesterday and it works perfectly. Thanks for everyone's help :) Those little wago boxes are fantastic, never used them before!

This has stumped me somewhat when it should be extremely easy. I'm trying to wire a Laura Ashley light in the bedroom, here is how the old ceiling rose looks: I can identify the following: - Yellow/green (Earth) - Left hand side red (switched live) - Right hand side black (Neutral)...

Ok thanks, I'll have a look in to this.

I think you are right, having read up more I'm seeing more references to the pump overrun stat (e.g. here: //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=162476&start=15). Any suggestions as to what it could be? I'm presuming I should be contacting a heating engineer rather than a plumber?
