How tight should these fittings be? Hand tight and one full turn be enough? thanks

Thanks for your help Nick. much appreciated.

Hi guys, I’m looking to replace my bath taps with a thermostatic deck mounted shower mixer. My DHW is stored at 48 degrees I’m worried it may not be hot enough for a thermostatic mixer? Can anyone advise? also this is the way they’re currently piped up. Is there a better way to do this ? it’s multilayer pipe and special adapting insert nut connected to a normal brass fitting. can I reuse this fitting and use ptfe where the hemp and paste is? thanks

I’ve this really annoying clicking noise after running hot water through my upstairs bathroom sink. Also happens when I run water through the bath. any advice on finding the problem area and solving this really annoying noise

Need to replace a cracked tile on a tanked shower wall. Is it possible to remove the tile without damaging the tanking underneath? If not what’s the best way to repair the wall to make it waterproof again? thanks

Hi all, I need to add some horizontal timber between studs on a tiled wall to fix a heavy screen. Obviously im going to be cutting into the opposite side of the wall to do this. any tips on the best way to do this? I’d like to get it right the first time haha.

Has anyone ever fitted a two panel hinge screen like this type?

Thanks for the detailed reply. It was fitted after the reveals were boarded. How much bigger would the V need to cut? I will try this method. Although I’ll still probably hash it up anyway.

Anyone any experience with the Kudos 2 panel folding bath screen? Are they prone to leaking. Saw this video on YouTube and putting me off buying it. It would be a problem solver for me if I works the way it supposed to.

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of cutting it flush with the reveal like you have suggested. I wonder would it be difficult to get out the remaining sections that the plasterboard are sitting on without too much damage

Hi guys, I’ve a plastic window board I’d like to replace with a mdf board. Is it possible to replace it without damaging the reveals? How would I go about it? Ideally I’d like as little damage as possible as it walls were recently painted.

My radiator was leaking for 24 hours on my new laminate floor and seeped under mdf skirting boards. would a dehumidifier dry out the water under the laminate and skirting boards? I really don't want to lift the floor and skirting boards, but i worry about mould forming behind skirting and underneath floor.

I don’t have a long enough level to check it. Is it possible that a new door frame is bowed? Would it be caused by poor fitting? thanks

Hey folks I had a Upvc door replaced as it was “bowed” and wasn’t compressing against the frame enough to seal it. I’ve just noticed my new door has exactly the same issue as the old door. I’m wondering now is it a fitting issue instead of a faulty door. It’s tight at the top and bottom but not in the middle. I’ve cam rollers adjusted fully tight but the new door still isint compressing tight enough. I find it odd that the new door has an identical problem to the old one. Anyone know if this is an easy fix? p
