It's 5meters x 1_9 metres

Hi I've lifted the paving slabs next to my house and intend to pour a slab to build a bigger shed and am looking for advice. I've attached a pic of what I have dug up (bamboo roots everywhere which I've removed). I've read a pour needs to be 3 courses below the DPM.. is this right? And also...

It's a 15 litre one

Hi, I've inherited this setup and during an inspection, it's flagged up that I need a Tundish from the discharge. I'm struggling to see how I can do this. Can anyone offer some advise please?

Hi, Our detached house had a standard shed down the side which wasn't really big enough and starting to rot. I was hoping to build a lean to shed sitting against the house wall then up against the boundary wall (to a pavement and road, not a neighbour). I did phone the planning office but they...

yep, the white stuff is just dust.. nothing to do with it.

It doesn't seem to be sucking anything from below, its just blowing out of pic 2

I've taken some photos, when I remove the ducting I can see the top is blowing. There's no suction at all from the bottom.

No, you lift the glass front up and there is the big motor in it. It looks like the right hand side is where you can put the filter in if its not using the ducting (it doesn't have one in as you need to unscrew it to put it in) If you put your hand on the motor there's no suction as all but the...

So we just had an engineer out who said.. and I quote 'the unit is used to take smells away not to take steam or smoke' He also said that as I used a reducer it would burn the motor out in a few months Its a https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/shire-90-blk/elica-shire90blk which says it does...

Hi, I've just installed a new elica 80cm cooker hood which for some reason when you switch the fan on it stays on the full speed..when you click the touch screen to slow the fan down it just turns off. I presume its faulty but just wanted to check as all I've done is replace the existing fan...

It's just the lever in the left hand side that's the stopcock. Just thinking about it now the water meter is on the other side of the wall. Is it there responsibility?

Hi, me again. I've just found a drip behind the attached photo where the house stopcock sits. I remember the plumber coming to do the boiler last month commenting that it was unusual. Its coming from behind the plastic but has been goign on fro a while as the plasterboard is wet through. I...

Thanks everyone, I got the Toolstation one and it works a treat.

Evening, Probably an easy answer but what can I use to connect my aeg dishwasher to my push fit polypipes (15mm). It's a 1es-l red connector. I thought it was 22mm so bought a 22 to 15 convertor but it doesn't fit. It's very close to fitting but not quite . Prefer to use jg if I can. I've...

Many thanks for these replies. I've now got the hob and oven and reading the manual it says it wants H05BB-F or H03V2V2-F cable. I've read a few posts on here saying standard T+E has been used for years so its fine but I'd rather be safe. Also is there max distance from the MCB to the oven...

Hi, We are in the process of replacing our gas hob with an induction one. Looking at the wiring (20 year old kitchen) the cooker runs off a 32A RCD to a kitchen switch. When I look in the cupboard they wired this to a dual gang socket which the hob and oven plugs in to. The wiring is 6mm to...

Hands up, my fault. I missed the insert on the cold water pipe. It lasted 18 months so I guess I was lucky it blew off when I was at home.

Hi, Had a bit of a disaster last night, the wife's in the bath and all of a sudden a joint on the sink popped off and flooded the bathroom with cold water. It was a polypipe attached to a compression joint which I've used for years but this is the first time this has happened. I cleaned and...
