Hi All,
My first visit here in quite a while and it's in part to share the news that I have finally gone over to the dark side!
Although my 30 year old Baxi back boiler was still going strong, I've finally succumbed to pressure from Mrs RWD and had a Combi installed.

Hi,
I am trying to fit a replacement tap to a mini-sink that's built in to the top of a toilet. The original tap isn't made any more by the manufacturers - the nearest equivalent is apparently this one: GoodHome Lazu 1 lever Mini Contemporary Basin Mono mixer Tap | DIY at B&Q -...
I have a mixer shower with standard 15cm inlet pipe spacing designed to accept vertical (downward) inlet pipes. The plumbing from my wall has two inlet pipes at the right (15cm) spacing, but they emerge straight out from the wall horizontally instead of descending vertically. Can anyone...
I currently have a floor standing pan in a downstairs cloakroom. The waste is vertical about 10mm on the inside of a 2- brick external wall.
As I'm completely retiling the room, can I fit a connector that runs horizontally behind the current waste below floor level( by cutting off some of the...

Hi, I'm new here. I have a basin with two individual taps, I want to change it to a mixer - the taps measure (centre to centre) 200mm. I have looked high and low to no avail, any ideas where to get one from? I don't want to make more holes or get a new basin if I can avoid it, I just want to...
Would it be a big job? Would floorboards have to be taken up etc? How long would it take? Each unit is a single-person flat. Would tenants have to move while it's done, or could it be done in a short time...say within a day?
It's an old building - heating is from 70s or 80s. The type of heating...

Hi all,
I've just moved into a new house, it current has a solid fuel burner (kiln dried logs and / or smokeless coal nuggets) that is used for heating the radiators and providing hot water. It's my father-in-laws house that we've moved into and he's told me it's "the best" way to heat the...
My son has a Shower Room in his long Cottage that is fed by Mains cold water, the hot water is supplied by a local Powerstream Heater.
The problem is that when the cold water is used at the other end of the cottage, the cold water pressure drops and the Powerstream low flow cut-out operates and...

I have a Potterton condensing combi boiler and am looking to convert to dual zone (upstairs and downstairs)
The boiler is in the garage and pipes go up to upstairs radiators then dropped down from various rooms to lounge, dining room and kitchen.

Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie here, a layperson homeowner, stopping by in desperation to try and get a better understanding of my options regarding a diagnosis.
I have a conventional gravity heating system (cold water tank).
British Gas put in a new boiler and replaced most of the other bits...
Hi guys. I have a friend with some holiday rentals. They all have a combi in the attic and a wireless RF stat set up. He’s wanting to make them all so he can turn the heating down after the customer has left from his house using the net. Is there a quick solution or will a cable need bringing...
Need some advice. I have a mixer tap in the bath basin(see attached photo). I believe there are some ways of attaching a shower hose directly into the outlet thereby converting it into a shower. Firstly, is this possible on this tap and can anyone recommend me the best way for doing it- any...
Any ideas? They have a 1.5" outlet, too small for the Euro flush pipes. They come with a 1.5" to 2" adaptor so can fit in the cistern fine.
You can use any drop valve with a 2" outlet but never found one I like half as much as the Fluidmaster.
And as far as I'm aware you can't use a normal...
Hi, I've picked up a secondhand electric towel radiator, can these generally be converted to be used with a central heating system? It was probably made as an electric one but I can see how it might be possible to unscrew the heating element and also the cap on the other side to connect pipework.
Hi all,
Soon I plan to start replacing some radiators and they are currently all connected on an 8mm microbore system where both pipes go in the same end/valve.
I'm pretty sure that these valves are hard to get now, so it makes sense to change them before one of them breaks?
What would you...
