pipes

We’re thinking of having the door to our extension in the blue shaded area - which passes through the existing SVP. How easy is it to rotate the exit pipes for the two toilets to go the other direction to join to a relocated SVP (proposed pipes shown in red). Could this work all be done...

We moved from a newbuild flat into a Victorian fixer upper and there are pipes running along the walls. Example attached - first pipe running from bottom of staircase to right by front door. Second running along kitchen wall. Wondering what they are and if there’s anything we can do to hide...

Hi, We are looking to remove our square bath after purchasing a new property. The taps are against the far wall so we can't see if there is any isolating valves or get to the other side to see them. We don't want to go through the bedroom wall to access the pipes if we can avoid. Does anyone...

I just brought the Chatsworth Tao with the three holes - and have found the section under the sink to be really tricky. Why do the pipes / bolts not line up? How do I connect pipes? Is there a special pipe to connect. Can you help.

The top corner of my kitchen wall started to crumble a bit. I used a paper scraper to remove it. There is a radiator/water pipe behind this section of wall. The pipes have turned green but are not wet. In fact, nothing there appears to be wet, but that corner of wall is almost dust now. I have...

Hello! I've recently purchased a tenement flat which has a bookshelf/storage area built-in where the press would have been in the kitchen. I want it removed as it's just horrible; the wood panelling is off-centre and there's an odd protruding storage area at the top. Nothing about it is hanging...

Hi, Not sure if this is the correct sub forum, but we've had a new vanity unit and basin installed in our WC. The fitter has left 4 gaping holes around the pipes in the wall. Who would I need to call to get these covered as much as possible. This is currently a big risk and an invitation for...

Good evening, Water started gushing from above a ceiling hatch which is beneath my bath. As the picture shows, it looks like a pipe has come disconnected from another. I have tried putting the black pipe back inside the white pipe but it doesn't stay fixed, turning the collar doesn't appear to...

Hello everyone, We will be installing a new kitchen and would like to simplify somehow the piping under the sink (see attached pic for what we currently have). The brass pipe in the pic controls the water in the house and also an outdoor tap, but it's very bulky and takes up most of the space...

Hi guys, wondering if you could help, we had really bad issues with builders when we knocked down a wall which was cupboards and they rebuilt it. Now we have said we will do it ourselves but where the cupboard was there is a hole in the floor with a pipe coming through and we have no clue what...

We’ve heard a loud noise from the pipe work above the living room recently like a tapping when the hot water comes on. Sound file https://sndup.net/7z8c Is this normal?

I'm only concerned with covering them nearest to the wall because obviously I can't cover the stove. There are high up on the left side and then low down on the right. It's a really old and wide chimney that arches at the top so I'm worried brick work would look weird and also come out too far...

Hi, ever since I had a new condesing boiler fiited, whenever I run the hot water tap in my kitchen or bathroom I start to hear hissing coming from a cold water pipe. This pipe runs from the attic, straight down through the floor of the airing cupboard and the noise sounds like it's in the pipe...
