Defensive walls in fortifications
Permanent, solid fences
Retaining walls, which hold back dirt, stone, water, or noise sound
Stone walls
Walls that protect from oceans (seawalls) or rivers (levees)

    wall hung toilet pan poor flushing question

    A few years ago I installed a wall hung toilet pan in my last house which did not flush well when disposing of waste solids. The water would rise up to the rim then dissipate and usually required further flushing to complete the disposal. I don't recall the brand but the wall mounting frame was...

    I have a leaking wall mounted bathroom tap

    I have a wall mounted bathroom tap that leaks. Presumably I need a washer of sorts replaced. I cannot work out which tool I need to remove the tap. There is a small hole (8mm?) to the side but I can’t seem to get a fixing from either a alum key or screwdriver. Ever hopeful…? Matt

    Difficulty of removing asbestos; Plumber that can repair Gyprock wall

    I have been given a quote to fix a noisy tap. Apparently they have to “replace breech to main shower” — which I understand to mean the thing one level behind any normal work on a tap. (“It is worn down and still has a small crack in it.”) “This will have to be done through the Gyprock wall...

    Wall mounted sink query

    I booked a plumber to fit a wall mounted sink in my bathroom, but when his fitter took the old sink out the wall wasn't strong enough to support it. Fair enough, but before telling me it was no good he got his fitter to try fitting the sink. This rendered the sink unreturnable and now he expects...

    Hi, I have a dishwasher that needs to move further back to fit flush with the other units, as is sticking out. What's in the way is an outflow pipe with 50mm diameter. Replacing it with a 25mm pipe would do the trick. Pic at pipework.png hosted at TinyPic - https://tinypic.host/i/ocehtd...
