We have a new lino being installed in a bathroom and I'm wondering if the edges of the lino and around the toilet need to be silicone? I ask as by chance I saw a video on YouTube from B&Q where they apply silicone around the edges and around the toilet. When I spoke with the lino installer he...

Thanks guys I think you ask have very valid points and I've escalated this with the plumbing company. They too suggested it's this pan connector that's been incorrectly placed or the seal hasn't been connected correctly since the toilet adjustment. This is a single toilet connected to the pipe...

Ok so this was my original thought but it was hard to convince the plumbers. So would I be right in saying the manhole has nothing to do with the issue? According to the plumber when he opened the manhole there was water. We flushed the toilet and saw the water running through.... He implied...

So does this One Shot drain cleaner be applied to the toilet/sink/shower or just the manhole? Not sure if it needs rodding as the water is shown coming from the toilet into the manhole

We had a leaky toilet. A plumber came over and removed the toilet from the wall, refitted the seal and resolved the issue but introduced a new issue. A few weeks later we can smell something foul from the toilet (sewage smell). I poured bleach and the issue seemed to be resolved. A few weeks...

Ok guys thanks for your replies!! Do you guys have a board for me to start with? I see the MDF at the link I sent in my original reply but I don't know if that's a good starting point?

It'll be clothing but would need to be heavy duty. Measurement wise it would be for a few cupboards so length would be long as possible and width maybe around 1.5ft or around that measurement.

As per the title, what board would I require to use inside cupboards as shelves? I'll cut them myself and inside the cupboards it would be supported by some wood drilled into the wall so all I would do is cut to size and then sit them on top of the wood attached to the wall and screw in. I'm...

The shed would be something from B&Q or some place like that. It wouldn't be fitted into the ground if that's what you mean?

We have an area of grass where we don't get a lot of sun and considering changing it to a hard floor such as slabs. In order for the slabs to be stable, strong and not dip or sink in etc, what type of foundation mix would be required to ensure there are NO side effects later in the years of I...

As far as I can tell it's Nuie Slate Grey

So he's done something wrong or is this the tray?

We've had a new shower tray fitted recently. The waste is located on the bottom right. I ran some water in the tray to ensure the sides didn't leak and noticed the water running into the waste. This seems fine but a few hours later (almost 24 hours) I noted the water dried up on the sides of...

I have a shower which I want to replace with a new Mira ERD shower. What I've noticed is the wall brackets that are supplied with the shower don't need to be fitted as the pipe coming out of the wall is the same as the wall bracket supplied. If I use a concealing plate and put it over the...

They are not painted. I think they might be stained as the paint looks like if it's been sprayed as we don't see any brush marks. I can post a picture of the paint close up but I know when I've asked painters if they can repaint they usual say it's been sprayed and they can't help.

We've had new floor tiles put in which has caused a gap to appear at the bottom of the door as the tiles are much thinner. I've seen some draft excluders but they don't really look very nice at the bottom of the door and wonder if there is an alternative way to cover the gap. The gap is...

Our bath is moving ever so slightly and I've noticed this is because the original plumber did a cowboy job by drilling in screws. I've attached an image and looking for some clip which I can screw into the wood bit (the underside of the bath once I remove the side cover) and the other end into...

Yea it's a plasterboard. Some of the old cement was removed when removing the old tiles so I applied Polyfilla to cover that hole. So overall yes it's a plasterboard. The plasterboard was broken towards the bottom so I applied a wendiboard (or something) which is close to a hardibacker but...

The shower wall is bare and I wondered is there anything that should be applied around the shower tray, so before any tiles are applied the tray is fully sealed on the sides and edges to eliminate any water leak issues? Thanks

In our shower, the tray has been moved prior to tiling. This has left an 1 inch or so gap between the plasterboard and the shower tray. I thought to get some moisture resistant plasterboard from B&Q stick that and then Polyfilla it on top but they don't sell it in small pieces but an entire...
