Dear all, thanks for your assistance, it led me to think more about the drains rather than the vents. It's funny how it can seem like the vents are at fault but as correctly stated in this group, the drains should be checked as they are normally responsible. After watching a YouTube video with...

Two available rodding points opened and rodded with full rod length, no difference. One was on rear lawn pointing towards rear stack, the other after the cloakroom toilet pointing to the front drain. When flushing toilets at rear no water appears at main drain at front of building. When toilet...

Fingers crossed guys I'll report back. I'm thinking a little bit of duct tape on each join will secure things enough for a wiggle

I've found a cheap set made by silver line. They should do for a one off

Could you suggest a minimum spec required for the job from Screwfix or tool station? Again, thanks

Thanks Nige. I'll invest in some rods then as I'm sure they will be a worthwhile investment. Do you think the drain pipe could be blocked then rather that a vent or perhaps at a junction?

I believe there is crouching space under the floors and I can get access as I remember seeing a hatch cut in the cupboard under the stairs. The floating floor could be removed with a little effort if I thought it would be worth investigating under floor

There is a manhole at the front of the building. Scottish water came out and had a quick look with cctv but said there was nothing much wrong (they wouldn't go much further that they needed to as it's not communal) . At least I know the main sewer line is working. The stack at the front of the...

Aldo the house is 1997 build in Scotland. I have no idea how the venting for a cloakroom at the side of the building works.

Thanks for answering. Everything is internal within the walls. Perhaps I need to try to snake under the kitchen sink again. It just seemed to get stuck. I'm considering trying to get under the house but I would need to remove some flooring

Hi there, Long time since I've been here, hoping for some insight into a problem that's really getting me down. If I can crack this it's not just helping a fellow diyer out but will help with my mental health as I am totally fed up. I have a cloakroom toilet with basin just to the left side of...

Try using the search or even look at similar threads listed at the bottom of this page. Once you have an idea/plan on what you want to do the forum users wil no doubt be happy to help with specifics. It is tiresome for people to repeat themselves when the info is already here in other threads

I achieved this by scoring the back of the board with a stanley knife, folding the board in two, carry up to loft, flatten out on loft floor then duck tape the sliced side. This can result in an almost perfect large sheet. My diy emporium sells a product called handiboard which is thinner than...

People on here will always try to tell you what is right. What i would say is that i would not let my child sleep in a loft conversion without the appropriate stairs and other fire safety mesures. This is only the beginning, there are many more regulations you should follow for complete...

Put simply, you should not have a bedroom without a staircase and thus a room that satisfies strict fire safety rules. It is not safe to sleep/spend reasonable time in a loft with only a hatch and one that is closed at that. Im not an expert but i imagine that they will probably say something...

Im no expert but your carpet looks like it needs to be covered to prevent any further fraying. Have you throught about replacing your carpet bar with one that goes over the top of the carpet instead? Something like the old style...

Can i ask a few things i still need an answer to? My records will be stored in the central (clean area) of the loft. Would counterbattening this area only strengthen/distribute the weight better? or would it have no effect since the rest of the loft floor at either side is fixed straight...

Cheers, maybe i am being a little paranoid after all. With me moving in here only a year ago i just don't want to damage the roof and the cornising below. Sounds like i will be ok Cheers for all your help people
