Hi - you have the right idea however it does sound like a lot of work. I have the same issue in my house and will do all possible to insulate from the underside as lifting the floor is too much to consider at this point in time. Instead of wire mesh you might want to consider this...

thanks for the replies - there is clearly enough height to drop the pipe consistently along the length of the bath, however the way the flexible water supplies have been routed has meant there is a clash/ conflict that has resulted in the waste going lower sooner than needed.... Im glad you...

Hi, we're having a bath installed at the moment. The bath panel is off and you can clearly see how the waste runs down, hits the floor, then runs up via a series of horizontal bends, towards the SVP. The lowest point of the pipe will surely remain full of water from the bath all of the time -...

Hi - I live in a maisonette and need to find my living room light live loop. The occupier before me had installed spot lights which went back to the socket system, which obviously isnt safe so we have removed that. Trying to reinstate the main living room light now and cant find the live loop...

The entire supply is cut off - even though its only the fire the engineer was concerned about. I have read a bit more about this online and cannot see how it is an Immediate Danger - considering the appliance works correctly and has been installed like that for years. Surely it's Not Current...

Cant post a photo as he lives miles away from me. The fire is about 300mm off the floor though. It's got a naff wooden type exterior cladding and has 3 of those white vented panels that seem to spread the gas flame. Sorry! Does anyone know if the regs apply retrospectively? If the regs...

Wasnt going to have a go at doing it myself however given that everyone who does this for a living charges like they dont give a sh*t then I guess Im forced to. You're willingness to give it a go and diligent approach is admirable. Im going to get a roof ladder and get up there. Its not...

ITS OK! I found out how to operate these Lockshield valves - they are called lockshield RLV valves. Down in amongst the black water there was a 4mm allan-head which had was closing the valve.... just had to slacken it off. The bathroom will not be so cold tomorrow morning now! Thanks...

when you take the cap off there is black water. you can poke your finger into the hole and it feels like an alan key type shape about 10 - 15mm into the valve. The radiator was well and truly rusted. however I take your point that I should have sorted out the valve etc before replacing it...

Hi, I have fitted a new radiator to our bathroom as the previous one had corroded and basically didnt work. Having refitted the existing valves to the new rad I am having trouble getting consistent heat... I cant balance the radiator as the lockshield valve is just a fixed cap and doest turn...
