Hi, We've had an ensuite put in with the loo in a seperate room on its own. I understand that the legislation says we need to extract from the loo as well as the bathroom. The loo is internal, do we have to extract to the outside or can we extract to a loft? I need to get the building regs...

Hi, Odd problem. I have a mixer tap / shower on my bath. The ones where you can switch between the two. When I run a bath the shower head leaks. When I switch it on to shower there's no leak on the bath taps. Is this something simple I can solve myself? If so how! With thanks Emma

Well after having two quote (the third company didn't turn up) I'm still in a dilemma. BG have said that our water pressure is low (11l/min) due to lead piping and don't recomend a combi for our house. They've recomended their own Worcester version called RD430i - condensing boiler. We need...
