My wife and I are renovating an 1870's house. Under the lounge carpet is what I presume to be the original Flagstones "great" you might think! Problem is I was hoping for a screeded floor, as we intend on laying parquet flooring in a double herringbone pattern and as I am sure you are all...

Hi, I need to divert a 32 mm waste pipe (from a basin) into a 40mm waste pipe (from a bath), but I am worried that when the bath is emptied that the water in the basin trap might be siphoned out and that I will get foul air traveling up the 32mm pipe. Is this likely, I would be Tee(ing) the...

Hi does anyone know of a site online where you can price/buy I or T beams? Can you get 150mm I-Beams or T-Beams? I am really looking for a T-Beams 150-180 mm 3300mm Long! I can't find any T-Beams what would be the best way to cut the top of an I-Beam to make it into a T-Beam, I am a bit...

I was thinking, and it might sound stupid but here I go! It seems to me that a lot of companies are making an awful lot of £ out of pressurised unvented cylinders! Why couldn't people just convert a traditional vented cylinder, by connecting the CWS up to where the cold fed in from the...

I am going to be plumbing my central heating (not the boiler). I am not sure if I should use 15mm or 10mm from the main runs to the radiators! As I see it there are Pros and Cons to each, as I see them: 10mm (microbore) is easier to work with, requires less notching of joists, and...

Especially building! Who is with me? Lets bring back Maggie!

If I get a non registered corgi plumber to do all the water plumbing (he is quite cheap £80 a day) do you think I would manage to get a Corgi plumber to connect up and check the gas for me? Does a plumber actually have to be Corgi to fit the gas or can you just get a Corgi plumber to check a...

Does anyone have any experience of using or installing Keston boilers, specifically the C36? I am thinking about buying one and am trying to find out all I can! On paper it seems quite impressive. Are they a reliable boiler? Are replacement parts expensive should something go wrong...

I am going to be installing a wet room, with a shower. Does anyone know somewhere cheap on line to by a convertor for a 150mm X 150 mm stainless steel tile grill to a shower trap? Is a gully trap with a 75mm seal and a 150mm X 150mm tile grill ok? Im fine with everything else, just need...

Where can you install a fan assisted concealed gas boiler? Loft? Lounge? Kitchen? Bedroom? Bathroom? Is it true that all gas boilers have to be condensing now? I checked the odpm (John Prescott) website and it was stating that they all had to be! Thing is they were...
