You cracked it...and the comments did bring a smile. a) I am of Irish descent b) Hot press is term for airing cupboard with the hot water cylinder with it. Still need an answer though.

I am fitting a shower unit in a small spare room. All the plumbing will be coming form the hot press in the next room. What sort of connections do I have to make. Adjoining wall is a block wall. Do I just drill holes to take the pipes and make the connection in the hot press?

I wish to run a new waste pipe into an existing 82 mm drainage pipe. Anyone know where I can buy a 40mm boss strap to do this.

Thanks for the info...will take note

Widest width is 7 meters along each of the 2 sides of the L shape.

Yes, thought it was voltage drop but have never experienced it in the other houses I have lived in and though it might be due to old wiring or corroded connections.

I have a large L-shaped living/dining room concrete floor and I wish to lay wooden flooring. Room dimensions is 7X7 metres with about a quarter of it 'removed' to form the L shape. Is it OK to lay the flooring all in the same direction or better to 'break' the run at the inside corner of the L.

I have just moved into a flat built in the late 70s. I am in the process of refitting the kitchen and have a temporary lamp in the kitchen plugged into standard 13 amp socket. Have noticed that when the electric kettle is switched on the lamp dims a little and then brightens slightly when kettle...

Looks like what I'm after...where do I get one and what do I ask for?

Still cna't get timer to work...does anyone know where \i can get spare parts?

Have recently moved into a flat with underfloor heating. Heating runs on economy 7. and switching is controlled by synchronous timer. Problem is that the timer has stopped working and only did so after plumber had switched off consumer unit when doing a job on the immersion heater. Have checked...

Thanks for all the advice. Could cut the tiles but to centre the 4 tiles with the WC pan would spoil the layout of the floor. Plan to use putty to bed the pan on the tiles. Is this OK. Used to work in the'old days' when settling the pan on wooden floorboards.

Is it OK to lift the WC pan out when tiling the bathroom and then replace it over the ceramic tiles after making necessary height adjustments for new level?

Panel is heavy and as well as using a bonding agent. drill a few holes in the panel and screw fix to the wall. If you arrange to hole in the panel to correspond to mortar joint on the wall it will be so much easier. Make up measuring stick to mark positions of the joints. Have used this type of...

Suggest you fit an unvented hot water tank. Expensive but worth every penny. I had one fitted recenlty as my electric shower was a nuisance. Is difficult to get me out of the shower in the mornings...sheer bliss.

Worked a treat....why didn't I think of that or better still why didn't the manufacturers say so in the fitting instructions. We are not all millionaires and can afford a plumber!
