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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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)...

Hi all, My central heating has developed a problem whereby the loud pump (Grundfos Selectric) stays on once the heating/water timer should go off. If I don't turn the pump off at the main or put the speed to 1 (from 3) then it would run 24/7. I have also noticed that during the timer or if...

I woke this morning to a cracked UPVC window. They are double glazed and the internal piece of glass has an enourmous crack from the top left hand corner to the top right hand corner in a U shape. I recently moved in to this property and realised that I had seen a guarantee but unfortunately...

So I have bought a new shower (http://www.mirashowers.co.uk/onlinecatalog/detail.htm?productNumber=Play%209.5kW&section=Electric%20showers&resultPageKey=316145834-0&category=) which differs somewhat from the 20 year old Mira shower installed when I bought the house. For example, the supply pipe...

So I just took a radiator off the wall to paint behind it, no problem there. The thermostatic radiator valve is now dripping and on close inspection the valve now turns on the pipe. It therefore looks like it needs to be reattached to the pipe so it now longer turns and creates a water tight...

Hi all, So a bit of background to start: I moved into my first house yesterday and I was keen to remove the cylinders of the UPVC doors to replace the locks. From the guides online it seemed very easy to replace a euro lock. However, there were 2 pieces of metal stopping the screw from coming...
