What bathroom valve will feed 3 outlets from one control unit? (bath filler/fixed shower head/shower hose). Would it be right to say a 3-way, thermostatic shower valve with an in-built diverter is the way to go, like this one: http://www.hudsonreed.co.uk/KUB3023 [url] Or would I need an...

Hi there I'm upgrading my loft for light storage and improved insulation by removing some old T&G chip-boards that were very poorly fitted and way too heavy, plus some old degraded insulation. The loft will only be used for moderate storage and access to a boiler, nothing heavyweight. I...

Hi there Rebuilt a bathroom and have 'No More Ply' boards installed on the walls ready for tiling and fitting of wall hung sink and toilet QUESTION: Is it best practice to tile the wall entirely and then add the sink unit and toilet over the top of the tiles? Or, fit sink unit and tiolet...

Hi there I've employed a Worcester Bosch approved plumber to fit my boiler and connect to some pipe work I have pre-installed. The CH pipework I completed due to complexities of renovation works but I have 1 question before recalling my plumber to fire it all up and register. The boiler is...

I'm replacing old plaster inside a 1940s semi - most if it is falling off from the brickwork. The walls are all cavity insulated and I am drylining them with plasterboard stuck with DryFix made by Pink Grip. The plasterboard edges are then jointed with compound, sanded, primed (2 coats) and...

My builder has dug out my existing MDPE mains supply with a minidigger so it can be rerouted to a new kitchen extension. However he has pulled the pipe up about 40-50cm from where it was buried in the middle of the garden, twisting and stretching the pipe. It has not burst but he plans to take...

Has anyone tried screwing insulated plasterboards to ceiling joists? I want to improve soundpoofing between floors but do not want to add extra weight to the ceiling with double skins of board or high density soundcheck boards. The original plasterboards were just shy of 15mm with skim...

I'm fitting 22mm flow and return pipes between ceiling joists that will drop down to radiators below (forming inverted loops). The drop from the ceiling to the floor is 2.7m and a further 1 to 2 to meters to reach each radiator. I have the space to use 22mm drops all the way right down to the...

Is it acceptable to fit a radiator at the highest point of a CH system instead of an automatice air valve (AAV)? The radiator will have an Aladdin HV30C Auto Air Vent Radiator Bleeder fitted. The Aladdin valves last around 3 years before the cartridge needs replacing and it would be more...

I need to leave some dead legs on feed and return pipes from my boiler. This is because underfloor heating will be connected at a later date. Should I just fit 22mm stop ends on my dead legs (the pipes terminate below the boiler and are not at high points)? Is there a better solution so I...

I'm preparing radiator pipe runs in readiness for a Worcester Bosch 30CDI boiler. The boiler will be sited downstairs with 22mm flow and return pipes heading upwards to the ceiling joists (as the ground floor is solid concrete). However, it would also be very convenient to branch downwards...
