    Good afternoon all, i'm in the process of converting a downstairs porch into a downstairs WC and have a slight snag. My dilemma is that inside the property is a gas pipe in the corner that sticks out and will be right in the way of a) the studwork being put in and b) the floor insulation...

    Mystery open kitchen drain behind wall - need advice about plugging it

    My kitchen sink drain became blocked and, while unblocking it with a plunger and lots of water, I saw the dirty water leak from behind drywall about 6 feet away from sink.

    Replacement valve (?) for Better Bathrooms wall mounted cistern

    Hi all. We have a 2013 Better Bathroom wall mounted cistern. The inlet valve (?) on the left side has been dripping and - we think - overfilling the cistern so it then leaks through a joint in the cistern. Picture of the valve unit is below. My question is whether there is any way to track...

    I've had a new shower cubicle done and the fitter has installed the wall profiles the wrong way around so the screws are on the outside (pic included). He also sealed the enclosure on the inside even though the instructions explicitly say not to (though it wasn't possible to seal the verticals...

    Garage Wall Damp Patch

    Hi all, This is what the garage walls look like. Pictures were taken today. A couple of days ago the thick damp strip near the ceiling wasn't there, just the thin ones around the blocks, so it seems it is worsening. The external tap was removed a couple of weeks ago as it was badly leaking and...

    Bath Screen wall Profile

    Hi, Can anyone suggest the best way to fit a bath screen wall profile when the silcone at the bottom is sitting proud at the bath edge and prevents the profile from sitting flush . Cutting the silcone back slightly has caused slight leaks behind the bath.

    Wall hung toilet

    I’ve eventually got the pan installed on the frame! What a nightmare that was!! The frame and pan are Grohe. Just got a couple of questions: 1) The flush plate is quite bulky and stops the flush part in the cistern fully opening. Seems a poor design and feels like I need to pad the back of...
