Pry tool and hammer worked great. Thanks guy!

Hi I'm currently in the last few steps to finishing my flooring installation. But I have a problem where I'm just stuck dead. I'm struggling to lock the board in as it needs to be lifted more than what I have the clearance for and its the stair beam causing my clearance issue. Any...

So looks like a lot more came away with little effort in big chunks. Its not all plaster. Does anyone know what the slab in the second picture is made from? Will be removing dust and PVAing today

Hi guys, just had an electrician install a nest onto my 8000 life boiler. Unfortunatly the boiler does not fire up when cranking up the temp on the thermostat. Had a quick look at his work and i'm not 100% sure but looking at the wiring diagrams from the nest book isn't terminal 2 supposed to be...

It was just a case of me being stupid, it required just a little more tightening at the conversion adapter and now no leaks! Thanks alot mate

Where the adaptor meets the waste.

I had the original leak with the trap not the waste. I think i'm not explaining myself well, the leak as it stands now, is coming from the mcalpine eu>uk adapter which is believe is because i've accidently stripped it hence wondering if there was a metal varient. Honestly have no idea what the...

Definitely not leaking from the top, it's coming from the top of the conversion coupler

Managed to get the mcalpine and fit it in but i think due to it being plastic and the waste being metal i've stripped it as there were two protuding metal screw hooks which were shredding my hands making it difficult to get it on. There are no leaks when the faucet is running except when i pop...

Alright, i'll get a conversion and see if that sorts it, will report back tomorrow. Cheers

As you can see it's a lot of thread but i can get about 2-3 turns and it'll tighten up. Am i looking for something like this then? https://www.screwfix.com/p/mcalpine-t12a-f-1-bsp-eu-uk-coupler-white-40mm-x-40mm/1358v

Waste came with the sink back in the day so yes, i've tried two kits so far, floplast and now the alpine and both have issues with sealing at the top. For reference on the old vs new

Hi all, have a little problem with installing a new bottle trap as the old one was leaking all over the place. Right now i'm having an issue with the telescopic pipe sealing at the top end with the washer and nut tightened as far as it will go (about 2 threads) and the pipe has a lot of play...
