    Is that 70mm? Worth a try. I tried the one below but it was 85mm, not 70mm as advertised. Combination Sink Waste 1 1/2"

    Kitchen sink waste with 70mm flange

    Been trying to source a kitchen sink waste with 70mm flange but not found one anywhere. Granted its for a sink fitted 10 years ago but I would have thought spares would still be available. Anyone know who might still have one? Its leaking underneath so I thought to replace the whole thing...

    How to tighten this fitting please?

    So thanks for all the advice everyone! I tried two rubber seals that seemed to fit but they both leaked, all be it slowly. In the end I used an oversized rubber seal that sits snugly below the female fitting (see pic), without going up into it. This has stopped the leak and all is good. This...

    How to tighten this fitting please?

    Hi, Here are some more pics. So far I have put the rubber seal in the middle (where there seems to be a slot for it and that's where the seal was when I first unscrewed it) and screwed it into the female so it is tight, then screwed up the knurled ring. Will keep monitoring for leaks.

    How to tighten this fitting please?

    Hi, I had to unscrew this plastic fitting which is part of an existing water softener install. Now it leaks when tightened and I think its because I am not tightening it properly. Its a strange fitting as it has the rubber washer half way up the thread. Can someone please explain how this type...

    What is this in my garden?

    I will try digging round it, but in the state it is in I do not think it will fetch much. If it is too much effort it will have to be smashy smashy :)

    Hi All, Having our garden leveled soon and was wondering what is this in our lawn? See my album pics. It looks like an old porcelain sink sunk into the ground with concrete slabs around the edges. The slabs seem to be sitting on concrete about 3 to 4 inches deep. Was wondering if it is...

    Blocking cavity walls?

    If you block the bit where the roof meets the inner or outer wall, you will be blocking the eaves. That is how I read it and that is not good. This will lead to poor ventilation in your loft unless you ventilate in other ways.

    Blocking cavity walls?

    Will you be happy knowing that the rats can no longer get into the loft BUT there are still rats in the walls? I think you need to concentrate on where they are getting into the walls to begin with and block that instead. As to how you find that entry I do not know, perhaps hire a professional...

    How can I( a complete beginner) restore my floorbaords fast?

    Are you sure you want to tackle this yourself? Sanding a floor can through up a lot of fine dust no matter how good the machine. If your allergy is very bad consider getting someone else in to do it for you. Have you considered laying down vinyl or lino flooring? Dust free surface, easy to...
