I was hoping that there would be a way to directly connect some sort of elbow to the bottom of the downpipe, rather than use a hopper? However, I can't match up the sizes on Screwfix and other websites, which has confused me.

Is anyone able to help me on this please? :)

Hello, I am looking to buy the parts necessary to connect an old downpipe to the drain. In the photo, you can see the downpipe on the right and then to the left of it, an old bracket, but the missing pipe absent. The external diameter of the downpipe appears to be approximately 75mm. The...

Hi everyone, I have moved into a property and I want to improve my bath, but I am on a budget. The bath works fine, but I'd like to be able to have a stand up shower. The grout in the tiles has come away in places. I'm not great at DIY (but I do try!) and my plan is this: A) To repair the...

Thank you for explaining. What is the best solution for separating them? Would WD40 help at all, although I'm not even sure where I could squirt it in?

Hi, I'm trying to replace some Euro cylinders on my French doors and am having some difficulty. I can remove the old cylinder fine, but as I'm replacing them with Yale cylinders, you have to take off the door handles in order to insert the new cylinder from the external side. I can remove the...

Thank you for that, most appreciated :)

Hello, I am looking to replace the taps on my bathroom basin. At the same time, I am also looking to replace the rather tired looking flexi hoses underneath (see photo at https://imgur.com/a/HdJMkkc). Please can someone point me in the direction on Ebay or Amazon as to the flexi hoses I will...

Thanks everyone for your replies and help. In the end, I managed to find this in Wickes https://www.wickes.co.uk/McAlpine-WM11-Sink-P-Trap+Twin-Nozzles---38mm/p/226994# . It has an adjustable length which meant I was able to get it in line with the waste pipe: https://imgur.com/a/RS48DtN (the...

Hello, I was just wondering if someone could help me please! I am changing the waste underneath my kitchen sink, as I've installed a dishwasher and needed a waste that I could connect both the dishwasher and washing machine wastes to. I bought this...

Thank you for your replies, most appreciated. I am planning to connect this to the plastic piping somehow, but it is quite crowded. I have moved the waste pipe back. It was correct before, but I moved it when I was trying to plumb in the dishwasher.

Hello, I have bought a new countertop dishwasher and am trying to install the water feed. It says it needs to connect to a 3/4" threaded connector. Please can someone let me know what part I need to do this and the easiest method? I am unsure looking at Screwfix. I have uploaded a photo of...

Thanks for the replies. In an ideal world, I'd like it dismantled and a bigger garden as a result, but realistically, I can't really afford to do so, so my main realistic goal is to leave it in place but not have it fall down! What is the most economical/effective way of stopping this problem...

Good morning, I purchased the stop ends and last night had the joy of water again. They are a great invention! This morning, I cleaned up the copper pipe and fitted the new flexi hose and connected it up with the toilet. IT WORKED! I've not changed the isolation valve just in case it causes...

Is there such an invention that can be temporarily put on the end of the pipe to stop the water coming out if I was to turn the water back on?
