Sorry, the whole system is on a combi boiler, nothing special like shower pumps other anything.

So we've renovated our bathroom and have had installed the below (or very similar) 3 way diverter value from Crosswater. One lever controls the overhead shower, the middle one the temp and the last one pivots both ways, one for the bath filler and one for the shower wand. Unfortunately after...

Hi See photos below, any idea what kind of render this is? We want to remove it, ideally back down to the brickwork but we understand the brick might be so damaged it would require re-rendering, which is fine, we would do a more modern smoother render. We just want this horrible stuff...

Hmmm well, here's me thinking it was a reasonable case of unscrewing the thing from the bit of wood it was on and moving it over as far as it could go. In light of this, and the fact I still find the thing in the way, is it perhaps a better option to contact the supplier or DNO(?) to get...

Too late I'm afraid, but be good to get clarification on whether moving the thing pictured above was ok (or not!)

Ok, just to confirm what we're talking about its this thing; Unfortunately the photo is on its side. Imagine the left hand side is the top. We haven't moved the thing with the huge thick cable coming into it, the electrician said the supplier or whoever would need to do that and it...

Quick question; We've had some rewiring down and in the process shifted the consumer unit and electric meter. The meter has four large cables coming from/going to the bottom of, all of which approach it from above. We're trying to get the cables right over into the corner and out of the way...

We've just had our loft converted and are in the process of decorating now. In the bathroom the head height is only 2.03m. In the shower even less due to the shower tray. Clearly the ceiling in the shower is going to get directly wet, not just damp from steam but directly splashed, pretty much...

So we're doing our loft as well as forward planning for renovating the rest of the house. Time has come to choose radiators / heated towel rails for the two new bedrooms and the bathroom. I'm just after a very brief explanation of rads (or pointer to good articles explaining), in...

Hi We're getting out loft conversion done with a new bathroom up there. Is there a minimum (regulatory or recommended) distance between the top of a shower enclosure and the ceiling? The room is 2.03m from floorboard to ceiling plasterboard. The enclosure we've ordered is 1.9m. I...

I think I'll probably point out to him the existing and quite similar situation with his ground floor extension and its roofline being higher than the original utility room bit on ours. There seems to be an overhang there. An overhang that doesn't effect us in the slightest and would just be cut...

Good grief, I was kidding. :roll: Surely people don't behave like that? Just leaves room for tit-for-tat situations like denying 2nd dormer the right to extend over the halfway point to join onto 1st dormer wall, leaving both parties worse off than if they'd just got along in the first...

For starters, that just seems ridiculous, a gap between two facing walls? Apart from just being a place for rotting leaves and dead cats there'd be no way to clad the second wall?? The reduction in room size by setting the dormer wall inside the party wall isn't the main issue, its that the...

Yes we have a party wall agreement with them unfortunately it doesn't mention any overhanging roof as neither of us were aware this would be the case, although thinking about it now it should be obvious ... if the wall is built to the half way line, the roof needs to overhang the wall slightly...
