Good health tips! The external junction of our washing machine/dishwasher and kitchen sink is pretty clogged up and leaking down the external wall. It's 7m up though so it'll be a scaff job unfortunately. If we and the previous occupants had done what you say it probably would've prevented the...

I think it's dropped in temp quite a lot by the time it's flushed, not quite as effective perhaps?

As part of a phased kitchen renovation we are looking to move the dishwasher to the other side of the room. Eventually the sink will move there as well and we may have to punch through the external wall to connect to the existing SVP, but for now we're hoping there's a temporary solution: The...

I'm ok with it being odd to you

He has a key

Thanks Ronnie, I'm up on all the fire regs, it's my area, but useful to hear about the change of status of the Georgian glass.

It's multiple, there is a small 350*500 pane in the fixed part. Thanks

Nice one, look forward to your Edinburgh show!

Morning all, I live in a 3 flat house with a common entrance door. The door is glazed with obscured bobbly wired glass. I want to put a cat flap in but I'm going to retain one of the panes just in case the council come a-knocking and instead put a replacement in. Is it possible for a supplier to...

Brilliant, something here will surely do the trick! Thanks all

Old one. Foamy!

Thanks all. You weren't to know, but I have tried some of these. The euroflo was too wide, the donut kit was too tall (that's the one I ended up shaving). The amazon option looks interesting, maybe I'll try that next. The one I removed felt like a foamy product rather than rubber and was...

Had a leak from a close coupled cistern on a savoy toilet. All the howto's I've seen replace the donut washer with a lovely domed washer which fits snuggly into a domed recess in the bowl. My bowl doesn't have that, it's pretty flat. As a result if I put a 1.5" donut in it the cistern sits too...

Great, thanks, worked well! I'm not typing "silicone finger" onto my work search engine though... Just in case!!

Thanks. I now know that they are called o-rings and the ptfe temp fix has worked. Not sure how old they are, we've rented the place for 3 years and I reckon the previous owners did it maybe 7 years ago? The orings still seemed nice and squidgy, but I guess they only need to let a tiny bit...

Hi all. I've taken this tap apart to see what's occurring. When installed it leaks just a smidgen at the swivel point when you knock the top section. I was thinking perished washer, but it seems not so. The pohotos show 1-where the leak happens and 2 the top washer which seals the tap chamber...

Hi. The sealant between the sink and the underside of the countertop died! How would you replace it? It's about an 8mm gap all the way round. On the left and right the cabinets form a sort of backing, but pretty far back! At the back there is no backing, just a black hole of mystery. I have some...

makes you wonder why people ask doesn't it?! No, i know my limits. I came here with a straightforward question about a leaky pipe and i'm leaving with a much better understanding of the regs; all for free and no one gets sick! Only £29.99 spent on a bidet gun which i'll put on my church tea...

Actually what I'm willing to do is listen to the advice I've been given! Thanks all, back into the box with it then.

Thanks for the warnings - although a newb to the nuts and bolts I am aware of the legislation (or at least I thought I was) and I was under the impression that it is not a blanket NO, just that you have to have sufficient provisions for non-return. Both the T-valve and the flexi hose have...
