No opening now, no. Cheers on the PVA tip. Saw somewhere else that thistle one coat could also work for this? I used a Dulux kitchen paint trade (eggshell) which sounds like it should be breathable Cheers!

If it helps, this is where an old chimney breast was / is

Oh interesting, thus is because it might be damp thats causing it? So you'd advise taking it back to brick > limelite > finishing coat? Any PVA needed before the limelite? Thanks again

Cheers Wayners! It's a 1920s house, but not a cavity wall...the 'hollowness' feels like its the top layer...other parts of the wall seem ok from what I can tell

Hi all, Im looking for a bit of advice on my kitchen walls. I moved in last year and stripped off a load of old wallpaper and the walls weren't in a good shape. I used polyfilla / toupret and some joint compound to fill and smooth over holes, uneven areas, build up a few places etc. Then put a...

Thanks again! I see that I will have to get one that has a rectangular overflow fitting. Cheers, and will go for Mcalpine.

Oh god, the list grows...! Thank you Chris for flagging this. I will get him to try it out first hand so he can see it for himself.

Nice one Rob - I saw in the reviews for this that people have attached it to IKEA sinks before, so if needed I could swap this for whats there currently, then proceed to fit all Mcalpine from there:

:confused:

Thank you so much! Yes, I saw there were these available that might allow Mcalpine fittings to be used on the IKEA sink...

Thanks so much Madrab for the extensive response, really appreciated! I feel like he rushed this too, its already leaking a bit where the sink waste meets main waste pipe. I have a new IKEA sink, but guessing McAlpine system could still go into this, perhaps with some adapter? Cheers again -...

Ah, could be the angle...is this a better shot?

Hi Andy, that's coming from the boiler - condensate pipe I think?

Oh dear....so we have an issue here?

Huge thanks for your response, yes a new kitchen. He was trying to accomodate IKEA kitchen sink and fittings, and added on some macalpine fittings to make it all work. Here are some photos of full set up. Is the grey fitting the trap in that case?

Last Q whilst you helpful lot are still here if that's ok....these are how the wastes from WM and DW are positioned. I would have thought these should be pointing downward to avoid waste drawing back into machines, or does it not matter? Any thoughts? Cheers again.

Ok brilliant thanks everyone, so my picture shows the bottom connection as OFF. Plumber left it that way, so wondered why the dishwasher wasn't working...will turn it horizontal. Cheers

Ah ok, so the verdict is still out haha!

Yes, normally, that's what I understood! But water came out when in the horizontal position....is it because the water flows up to the top connection but the bottom connection comes off to the side (so flows horizontal)? Thanks for your response though!

Plumber fitted water connections for washing machine (top connection) and dishwasher (bottom connection).... dishwasher showing water inlet error, which makes me think the valve (on the bottom) is in the wrong position. Is this because the direction of water flow is actually horizontal on this...
