I've just bought a Mira Flight Low 900mm Quadrant (https://www.wolseley.co.uk/product/mira-flight-low-quadrant-tray-no-upstands-900-white/) which comes with a "vortex" waste which is their own make rather than a generic one. Is the supplied waste any good or should I change it for a McAlpine...

We have a Hotpoint BF71 dishwasher (I believe it is a Bosch in disguise). It’s around 20 years old. When we start it we can hear a motor noise (like a humming) but nothing actually happens. There is about 1cm of water at the very bottom of the dishwasher and the filters are clean. The timer...

I've got a mouldy smell coming from my washing machine when it hasnt been used for a couple of weeks. I always leave the machine door open, take out the soap drawer, dry off the main seal and water inlet (the bit above the soap drawer). It's had plenty of hot washes, washed with bleach, washed...

I've got a Mira Atom ERD which seems to be leaking on the outlet to the diverter valve. I've replaced the insert which goes inside as it has O rings on it and I thought those had perished, but the leak remains. I put some PTFE tape on it and I dont want to tighten it further because i'll be...

I have an unvented cylinder with the secondary return "circuit" plumbed in on the hot water side with a Grundfos Comfort 15-14 BA PM pump attached. The issue I have, the pump is 'pulsing' so it runs for a second or two, stops for a second, then repeats this. Sometimes, it makes a slight...

I have a stuck 22mm gate valve which I believe is the cold water supply to my bath and en-suite shower. I want to replace the gate valve with a full bore ball valve, but my question is, are the bodies between gate valves and ball valves standard? i.e. will I need to cut/extend pipework to make...

I have a light in my loft with its own light switch is located in the loft on its "own circuit" (it's tapped off the landing light mains but runs independently). My question is, is there a way to wire in an external LED (or maybe neon) indicator lamp from the switch that I could fit to the loft...
