Hello Folks, I am in the process of swapping out an old chrome curved towel rail for a new taller one. I will use the existing valves. There is absolutely no vertical play in the pipe (as the microbore pipework is buried in a solid wall) making it difficult to attach the chrome towel radiator...

How to bond peel and stick vinyl tiles to porcelain? Too much trouble to remove the porcelain tiles now that the ceramic wall tiles are up. I got a same day response from Mapei advising me to contact the manufacturer. I won't waste my time with that as the manufacturer of these peel and stick...

I plan to cut the vertical hot and cold feeds (see picture) and use elbows on the horizontal 15 mm runs to enter the hot and cold feeds horizontally into the back of the vanity. Any way to adapt this solvent waste pipe (see picture) so it enters the back of the vanity unity horizontally? I...

I bought an MFC textured woodgrain vanity unit: https://www.heatandplumb.com/acatalog/n ... t-arn2505d Our bathroom has high humidity and no extractor. I doubt very much that this vanity will make it through the winter without sealing - I have no idea what to seal it with. Also, I will be...

Hi All I'm about to start tiling my bathroom and want to replace my old 500 mm x 1000 mm towel radiator with a 500 mm x 1800 mm towel radiator. I'm not sure how to get a new towel radiator on as there is no vertical play in the pipes that come out of a solid wall. The previous owner replaced...

As you can see from the pictures. One picture (with the wall light) shows a perfectly working door - rhino hooks and all the other components fully extend when the door handle is lifted. In the other picture the rhino hooks and all the other components only extend halfway or so when the door...

Hello! I have some peel and stick vinyl planks to install in a small infrequently used en-suite. Size of floor is 225 cm length x 140 cm width. In my last house I simply fixed 6 mm ply down onto the floorboards using small countersunk screws (so as to avoid pipework under the floorboards) and...

I noticed that on my rads there is an olive between the TRV and rad connection - but not between the lockshield and rad. In the past, I have just tightened the nut that connects the lockshield to the rad. Never used PTFE or any sort of jointing compound. 1. So, I was wondering, what makes for...

Hi All, I have a room that was skimmed with MultiFinish on 19th and 20th July. Please see attached. I've just messaged the plasterer (24 years experience) and he says it's dry and that the plaster does not always dry to the same uniform colour (he doesn't know why that is). Is this plaster...

Hi All, Having a spot of bother "plumbing my way out of a paper bag" so to speak... Please see 3 pics attached. Ordered a tap off eBay - tap all good. https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Dune-Mono-Mixe ... 0005.m1851 But the 50 cm flexi hoses are useless. Please see marked picture where they are...

Hello! Plasterer has skimmed the entire house. Despite the Mrs trying to remove the offending MultiFinish using lots of elbow grease, washing up liquid, Magic Eraser, vinegar and Cif cleaning cream - the staining still persists. We are starting to get worried about how to remove it now. Have...

Hi All, I need to remove 9 rads for plastering and decorating. They will be removed for a few weeks. 3 towel rads will remain on. I understand that I need to leave the CH system pressurised on the (oil) combi in order to keep the hot water on. I'm okay with shutting the lockshield off (and...
