Just started gound work on self build bungalow and wondering best way to do below ground soil pipes.
For toilet I was going to go straight down through slab and out through deadwork into a manhole. I will work out falls from manhole and set the height of the waste water system as required.
For...
Hello all,
I'm would like to extend an existing outside tap to another point in the garden. I'm about to pour a concrete patio and was hoping to run the water line underneath. There are existing drain (and who knows what) pipes running along the same wall so I'm nervous about digging too far...
Hello all,
I’m replacing a concrete paving slab patio in the back yard. The original patio used 50mm deep concrete slabs on hardcore & sand. I’m planning to pour a 100mm deep concrete patio on 100mm hardcore. In order to achieve the same final height to line up with the rest of the patio, I...
Hi all,
Has anyone come across a kitchen sink overflow that would fit a ceramic sink? They all seem to be made for stainless steel (the one I picked up from the merchant didn't have threads long enough to fix through the overflow hole).
Thanks

Morning.
I live in a new build house where the boiler, separate hot water tank and en suite are all in the attic. The hot water tank is a megaflo unvented indirect cylinder.
We've been here 9 years now but in the last few months the water pressure in the en suite has deteriorated quite badly...
Hi, apologies if this is a stupid question but I'm a little lost at the moment.
Complete amateur when it comes to plumbing (although I have replaced radiators and valves etc.), but we recently had our bathroom refurbed. Our boiler is in the bathroom cupboard which, pre-work, had a British Gas...

Hi
My elderly mother in law lives at the top of a 7 storey block flats, and her radiator needs constant bleeding.
The heating system is managed by the management company, but the plumbing in her flat is her responsibility.
I am seeking advice because conversations about heating quickly move...
I have replaced the sealing washer to a Grohe Adagio flushvalve (42137) as water was constantly leaking from the concealed cistern. It now is holding the water fine but there is a problem with the flush itself, which was not a problem previously. Flushing requires two or three presses (of the...
Hi all,
I need to change a washer on a leaking tap in my shower, but I can't figure out how to get the tap out to change it.
I can unscrew the base of the tap from the wall and get it out from the wall a little way and I can see where I would need to get a spanner/wrench onto the brass piece...
Very last rad on heating circuit is a vertical mounted iguana circo rad, which is 1.8m high. The rad is not getting sufficient water flow even after balancing all other rads. Placement of a secondary circulation pump will alleviate this issue but the question is where best to locate it. Near the...
Hi,
I'm having some issues with my current water main leaking. We had an extension put onto our house back in 2013, during which we moved our kitchen into the extension on the opposite side of the house.
The stop tap was positioned in what would become the middle of our lounge, so the plumber...
We are redoing a wet room on the ground floor and we have uncovered the floor boards.
I'm looking at this and I'm totally baffled.... the joist doesn't even reach the end of the room... what's supporting it is a mystery to me...
What's the best way to fix this?
It's a bit of a disaster...
The water in to my washing machine is via a tee off the cold water mains via 1/2" PEX pipe (2metres) and then the washing machine hose connected. The water pressure into the machine seems very low. The water pressure on the kitchen tap is really strong. Why would this be, I would expect it...
I'm creating a new shower room. Its all open at the moment. The stud wall framing is built and I am looking at where to install the 15mm-1/2inch elbow for the shower head arm. The problem I have is that the standard elbows aren't deep enough for the wall that's going on the stud work. The...
I have a central heating system and hot water tank (Y plan) heated by a conventional system Baxi Solo 2 60PF gas boiler (~20 years old) with a Grundfoss UPS2 pump and a combined 22mm feed/expansion pipe from a cold water tank in the roof. There are 11 radiators and 2 towel rails, I estmate...
This is perhaps a long shot, but anyway...
I live in a block of flats in Beijing, and the heating is provided by a metropolitan heating system. The block's system seem to be split into two - top 10 floors and the lower 10 floors are heated separately. My flat is on the 10th floor, and our...

We’ve just bought a new house (new build). The main bathroom shower above the bath is extremely powerful however the rainfall AND handheld shower in the en suite are significantly lower.
They’re both mains fed showers from a new 35kw combi.
I can’t work out why one shower would be so poor when...
