Red dots are current soil pipes going downstairs through the building. Yellow dots are potential locations for new toilets. Green lines are potential soil pipes connecting potential new toilets to existing soil pipes. Any thoughts on the 3 locations ?

No, I wish ! Take a current problem. We seem to have mislaid two expensive t-shirts. If we had all angles covered, we'd be able to see where they moved to and potentially to see where they disappeared off our radar. At present, our decades of experience suggests they were left in a tumble...

Yeah, sort of thought about that one and also about whether it could be hooked up to a NAS or similar but whichever way you slice and dice it, it comes back to generating too much data to store in high resolution over a long period of time.

At 4k resolution ? Or much lower ?

Sorry, impossible in our business because we could have someone not collect something for say 4 or 6 weeks and only then make a complaint. We already have terms and conditions requiring complaints to be made within 24 hours and all losses must be reported before taking items off the premises...

We are dry cleaners. Sometimes a client may complain about something which they pick up but which we received 20/30+ days ago. I'd live with a month or two in the cloud and then hard storage but go think about places like Marks and Spencer with 100+ cameras. they must be keeping data for months...

I have 5TB of space with a Microsoft 365 business subscription for 5 PCs which costs around £11 a month. Everyone on the planet can have multiple 30GB Gmail accounts. etc. I am fine to pay for it, but the cost must be relative.

I have a few shops where I would like to install CCTV but sadly there is no budget for a company to come down and charge £5k per shop to install anything so we're going to have to do it ourselves and hopefully get most of what we would like for a moderate budget. Costco have some Black Friday...

If you use a macerator, does it have to be inline or can it be used in some fashion to get around the problems with direct piping and required fall rates per metre ? I'm thinking about access for it too, if it goes wrong !

I see the logic and it had not escaped me that might be easier but the proposed configuration for that area is a walk in shower. This was the proposed but I guess that could be reconfigures to the below to more align the toilets.

My prospective bathroom x 2 remodel needs one of the toilets to move about 2m so that I can extend the other bathroom into that space. This space will then be fitted with another bath accessed from the other bathroom etc. The building is purpose built 1980s low rise flats and the current toilet...

Yes, I see that now. I'd just read about their directors living in London and saw their registered address was moved from Aldershot to Mychett to a virtual office / letterbox drop in London at 11 Leadenhall Street, London, United Kingdom, EC3V 1LP, which is where I got the London connection from...

How do you know how big a store or tank of hot water you need ? My only two points of reference are a Megaflow 300L I put into my London property in 2000 which was fine and a much smaller immersion heater in a property I had which was far too small. My overriding requirement is not to run out...

Isn't this "old technology" where you heat water you don't know you will need in the hope that you might ? I'm in Surrey but not London where https://www.vitoenergy.co.uk/ are based sadly. Looking for a company around Farnham (GU10).

I bought a property a few months ago which need a refurb and it has a British Gas 330+ boiler installed in 2008. The property has 2 bathrooms and one kitchen and will need, via one technology or another, to be able to supply unlimited hot water to both bathrooms at the same time. I understand...

To round off my part of this story ! I got the part from Miele in a week or so and went to replace and noticed that more water than before was coming out of the machine when on its side. All drained and isolated as before etc. Anyway, when I put the part in, put it back together and plugged it...

Why would we need to go to 200A, which I have had quoted for on a commercial job (asked about increasing supply where we already had 100A) and found out £50k or so costs whereas adding another 100A 3 phase was about £2k (2016/7 costs).

Not really. The bigger battery vehicles already need 16+ hours on the low charging and that is hugely impractical for one car, nevermind two.

Yeah, I actually bought and replaced the water inlet hose and sensor thing thinking it was that and also that changing that would be easier (it wasn't) but I found someone breaking an exact model of mine on ebay. Sadly, no-one has the part number required at the moment and for £36.89 and it...

Many thanks for coming back - I am returning to add my two 'penneth. As you say, all the usual suspects were no good and even Quinns at the £64.61 came back as not available, so I telephoned Miele on 0330 160 6600. They were fantastic. The item is out of stock until 25/10 (4 days from now) but...
