Hi Guys, Hope all are well, looking for some economical option for having a cover (bit like a lean to car port) on our decking to allow year around use of the space. Patio doors open in a biggish decking area and we were looking for options to have some kind of cover, pergola etc. came up but...

I think I know where the problem maybe , it is almost certainly the flush valve, the problem is getting to it. Looks like the only way to get in is by removing the top L shaped sink panel

Hi Guys, Hope everyone is well. Since we moved here the downstairs toilet has always had a funny flush, it seems to trickle constantly in to the toilet bowl, I know this as I have put a tissue by the side and it gets wet. Sometimes the flush will make emptying and filling noise. It has never...

This is most useful, thank you. The video is great, I am confident I can do that. Any tips on ladder safety :-)

Hello Folks, Hope everyone is well and thanks in advance. Plaster from side of my roof fell out and I can see some more is about to fall. Any thoughts if I can repair it myself and any tips will be most useful. I am a bit of a novice and was thinking of buying some plaster and filling in the gap?

Thanks Hootingowl. Well some people got their wish. It was a steady trickle and continued for almost 2 days. Plastic tee was installed by same chap. Apparently something leaked while they were working on the day but they thought it was fixed. He came around today and replaced the...

He is a decent bloke and I got a feeling he is admitted in hospital else he would have returned my calls. I will wait till tomorrow or Monday before getting another plumber in. I have stopped it from getting worse, just means I have to keep emptying the water collector tub every 2 hours or so...

Take it same applies to the cost of getting another plumber to fix the leak.

Wasn't planning on posting here again but thought I will give the haters some satisfaction. Well those who wished my house get flood have got your wish, you could have asked for something else. Taps been changed and been leaking leaving a saggy kitchen ceiling with a hole. Plumber no...

Ooh the mob mentality has taken over. I cannot lower myself anymore, how do I stop notifications.

Hootingowl I appreciate your comment. This has been blown out of proportion. I wanted some opinions and following that I am going with my plumber's suggestion at the prices he quoted initially. Really that simple and I am sure it will all be alright. No hard feelings but I am...

you mean you are happy for your customers to pay extra and support them.

errr No such implication if you bothered to read I actually said my plumber is really good. Please don't make this something which it isn't. And you don't want to offer advise then simply don't reply.

Hootingowl. yes the question could have been phrased better but I have explained it at least 3, 4 times in subsequent posts yet some keep going off on a tangent and have been very mean with their posts resulting in some mean posts by me. Sorry but you are not going to earn any respect if...

I didn't realise Victoria Plumb are this bad they got good reviews and the stuff looks really nice.

So it is wrong to try and find what is available for the money? I am not getting the work done for free and he is not being forced to do the job, if he didn't like working for me, he would have said no. I don't get your point about making profit on parts. If it is done with agreement from...

Calm down! Yes but I can tell you that you can buy a decent watch for £100 which will look good and last long. You will struggle to find the same for £10 I was just asking for general opinion from experience, I have asked him to show me the tap, Squeaky has summarised it well and I am...

Squeaky That is all I wanted to know, thank you very much. And I never thought he was ripping me off, I thought he may be going too lavish. As I said he is happy to fit whatever cheap stuff I buy but I don't see the point in that after reading your post.

a. I am not doubting him b. I am not moaning I just want to get an idea of price from anyone experienced. My plumber only buys from a particular merchant who is expensive. He will happily fit whatever I get him I just want to know if 150 is excessive or normal for a set of taps.
