Hi all, Unfortunately I'm having some issues withy fitter/plumber and wanted to check if the drop on this was correct? He says the pressure of the water would push through any solids or other non liquid waste but I'm not convinced. There is no drop/gradient that I can observe and whenever I ask...

Hi, I am replacing the decking in my garden as the old one has rotted away. I plan to reuse the paving slabs that were used as the base, and use adjustable risers to mount the decking on to. However the previous homeowners also used a lot of gravel for landscaping in the garden, which I am not...

Thinking ahead, if I do need a new RCBO, are they interchangeable between brands? The Consumer Unit is Fusebox brand but the RCBO modules are not stocked by the electrical shops where I live. I was thinking of buying one pre-emptively as the electrician is booked for Wednesday.

Thank you, that's really helpful. What type of scenarios would cause an RCBO to die like that? Could it be that when I connected the hob originally, there may have been a short (bad connection?) Causing it to trip but also die at the same time? Prior to that it worked and was supplying the Oven.

Hi, I had a new circuit put in by an electrician as part of a CU relocation job. The circuit is on a 32A RCBO and has a 6mm2 TE cable wired into it. The work was done a year ago and at the time it was feeding my oven and everything worked well. As part of some renovation work, we've taken out...

Can I also please confirm that it is best practice or advisable to crimp the conductors using a crimp connector and attach those to the appliance?

Thanks. No oven on this circuit, I had a new circuit put in for the new oven going in.

Thank you for the advice. Can I please confirm that if I chose to leave it permanently wired with the 6mm2 that it would be perfectly fine? Also if I did use flex from the DP switch to the appliances, is there a particular size I should use?

Hi, I'm installing my new AEG Hob and have it on a dedicated 32A RCBO and 6mm2 T+E cable. However the manual is asking for H03v2v2-f cable that is rated upto 90c? I'm temporarily installing the hob for now whilst we wait for our counter top templating and installation, so in the meantime...

Ah ok, thanks. Would it matter if the basin is about 2 metres away on the opposite wall and is fitting with an airless trap?

Thanks. Can I use something like this together?

Anyone available to lend a hand here? I'm planning to work on this tomorrow.

Hi, I'm after a new waste pipe connector that has a boss and toilet waste on opposing ends. I plan to fit the sink waste inside the wall on the left and soil pipe itself will be in a concealed toilet frame but I've not found a connector that has a boss and toilet waste connector on opposite...

Thank you, that's really helpful. I think I can get a 35mm hole cut out. Given the slope and width, I'll probably need to cut through 3 studs at different heights to get the right drop from basin to soil pipe.

Hi, I'm trying to conceal a basin waste instead a stud wall but naturally the metal studs are in the way. Anyone have any suggestions for how I can solve this? Thanks in advance

Thank you, I can certainly do that. What about levelling that area? Should I just level with mortar?

Thank you for the reply. I'm assuming I only need floor leveler for the area near the door? I don't want to screed the whole 22m2 of area that is going to be tiled. Also by tile sealer, do you mean priming the concrete subfloor? If so, I do plan on doing that. They'll floor has DPM but the new...

Hi, I had some work done a while back to convert a window to a set of patio doors and the floor was left like this. The rest of the substrate is a concrete subfloor and looks like it was previously screeded, so it won't need screeding again. The grey top layer on the right is flaking off, so it...

I want to get the frame as close as possible to the wall but I have a few mm sticking out at the moment which will then make tiling an issue, so I'm wondering if I can cut the bolt to the size I need? As shown in the picture, it'll only be a few mm and the nuts go on the inside of the bolt, so...

There'll be the waste from the sink feeding into the soil stack too. Not sure how vertically would work. Do you mean horizontally above the frame as per your drawing?
