Hi all. One of my Sc***fix 5ft LAP Batten's has given up the ghost so I decided I had nowt to lose and took the end-caps off to see if I could sort it without having to resort to forking out another £40 forra new one. The layout is 2 x semi-rigid strips, (160 each) connected in 8 parallel groups...

Hi All. Decided to attempt to balance my system, (as it's never been done) following the nice guide on here posted a while ago by D Hailsham. However I've got stuck at the first hurdle (check boiler temp differential according to the guide) as even with my boiler (Worcester Greenstar 9i) on the...

Hi all. Rather then resurrect a 2yr old thread I created, I thought it better to ask another question re: ductwork noise. My bathroom ventilation consists of two separate inlets (one above shower, one above bath) connected via a swept "T", all in 125mm Rigid Ductwork and powered by a Manrose...

I have been having a right mare of a time trying to get rid of what I’m guessing is excess air in my CH system. I was hoping that it might miraculously clear itself after fitting a new radiator in my bathroom but I’ve had no luck with that. I can only presume that I must be doing summat wrong so...

H all, I've bought an Aeon Lunar Stainless Steel Radiator together with a pair of Ultraheat 90MFS Elbows (as the radiator feed pipes come from below) to fit in my Bathroom. However, I seem to have found a problem with attaching the elbows to the radiator in as such that the thread position makes...

I've been busy boarding my bathroom renovation with Marmox Multiboards on the stud walls and Q-Boards on the external wall, which have gone on great but I'm now wondering what would be the best option for the Geberit Bog Frame ? I can get away with a thickness of either 18mm or 20mm so I've got...

I've got my bathroom boarded now with Marmox Multiboard. Just got to wait for the tile adhesive to go off on the small area of wall I had to stick some to so I can fit the mechanical fixings. I'm just not 100% certain on what joints should use waterproof tape (and which one to use) and which...

Can someone please explain to me why fitting the tray in the description above is not recommended using "dabs" of adhesive, rather than a solid bed of mortar when the tray can also be fitted on legs which only have about a 2" diameter contact patch over 16 areas of the tray ? Surely dabs of...

Hi, looking for a bit of advice before I take the plunge and spend any cash on summat that may not be feasible. I'm going to be fitting a Carron Whirlpool bath and plumbing in an Aqualisa Quartz Overflow Filler so we don't have any taps on show. If our lass has a bath, she would normally wash...

I wonder if some of you guys would mind giving me some pointers on the best way to finish off the work I'm having to prepare for fitting my shower tray on a concrete floor please ? I've posted this in the Building Forum as it seems more apt than the Plumbers Forum and I've attached some pics to...

Hi, dunno if this is the correct forum to ask this but I am changing my bathroom around totally to how it used to be and I was wondering what the best way to alter the extraction setup would be. Currently, there is one vent hole in the ceiling, about 500mm away from where the old bath used to...

Hi. After originally thinking that I was going to re-board my bathroom in moisture resistant plasterboard (other side of studs are boarded in 12.5mm sound panel) and tanking it, I've seen that most tilers are starting to recommend the foam-type backer boards instead, such as Abacus Elements or...

I posted this in my original Drainage alterations thread but it's a different question really so I've started a new thread. Apologies to the mods if I've done wrong :whistle:. I'm going to be fitting a Wall-Hung Vitra toilet onto a Geberit frame. The frame comes with a 90° 90mm bend piece that...

Hi peeps. I wonder if some of you guys could have a quick look over the ideas I have for altering the drainage due to my bathroom refurb I'm starting on please and see if there are any glaring errors to my plans ? We haven't got our own soil stack at the moment (it's a late 1970's/80's...

I'm going to be buying a wall-hung Shower Toilet for my bathroom refurb but wondered if you guys have any likes/dislikes about certain makes ? I've originally been interested in either the Vitra or Grohe products, which retail for between £1500 and £2000 (+wall-frame) but recently I came across...

Hi all. Well, it's getting close to that time when the heating will be turned back on. In the last few months I've replaced four of my radiators for designer ones but the two remaining standard type in the kitchen and bathroom haven't been done yet. I drained the system to change the pipework...

Hi all. As the title suggests. I've recently been gifted a couple of really nice looking full colour screen underfloor heating thermostats (for the wall) and I was wondering if I could connect a fixed resistor across the floor sensor probe terminals to stop the 'stat error messaging through...

Hi. Hope I've posted this in the right forum as I've already asked questions re: the meter box dimensions/positioning in the Plumbing forum but thought seeing as this is related to the actual fitting of the box this board would be best. I am having my gas meter refitted from a surface mounted...

Hi all. I'm guessing this will be an easy Q to answer for the pro's so here goes:- My gas meter is currently in a wall-mounted surface box with pipework exiting the bottom, then heading upwards and through the wall into the house. I'm having a lot of renovations/reworks done and as part of...

Sorry for the late reply and if I was the cause of the thread being locked but thanks to the guys for the constructive replies. At least I can now get in touch with some fitters for quotes, knowing that what I would like is possible.
