  1. Stopcock off Kitchen taps, no water. Bathroom no hot. Cold at bath and basin and cistern all running. Hot at bath and basin no water. BTW cistern and basin all have individual valve. Just realised shower above bath too is still running. Im going to have to get an extra long key made
  2. Not sure but Glasgow tenements were fully refurbished in the 80s. This one was replumbed then. The was they did it was to fit all the pipe work on top of existing floorboards, then lay a new floor 6 inch above and fill the space with black gravel type stuff. It's maybe volcanic as its vert light. Also very common they removed the chimneys and water tanks from the lofts. So I'm pretty sure its mains fed. There is a combie boiler but I suspect the bath cold tap is mains fed. The hot tap goes via the combie but if I turn off stopcock under kitchen sink the hot tap stops running...make sense?

  4. Its just spinning forever. Tired to turn off the whole block from the street but kid you not the on street one is 4 feet deep and the standard T key can't reach it. When I did the wash basin had to cut it the 15mm pipe live and push a speed fit valve in. That one only oozed out a small amount, the pressure in this one is a lot, the tap fairly pushes out water. Hmmm
  5. Not having much success... This i think turns off the bath tap. The stopcock under the kitchen turns off kitchen taps and feed to combi so also bath hot tap. BUT when I turn the red wheel the hex nut below also turns, afraid to keep turning it anti clockwise in case it pops off. I think hex nut is a retaining nut. Where am I going wrong here?
  6. Aye But its used daily for disabled son, he likes a soak. And very occasionally for his support workers who have the odd shower. Ergo the shower curtain can be out of matey boys way. Its 90% for him 10% for staff team, how it looks is secondary to function.
  7. I've bought the bath and taps and panels for three sides. Also two bits of 1m x 2.4m wall panel. Its a 1700 x 700 bath, old one has mould as it was never an over shower job. so first Q is if i need wriggle room for taps...is the height of new bath exactly as old? Can i fit a flexy? Next Q Its a long narrow bathroom. Replce tile area as is, with wallboard...or As wallboatd is 2400 x 2000 some other shape? finally, wallboard behind bath or butt against top. its a new straight shower bath, no lip, no nothing just square
  8. Just to finish this off. The Spacepro fittings have around 25mm of travel in the brackets, so they can slide up and down. My 10mm slope was no issue at all they slide like a half cut, suncream soaked Scotsman on Spanish flume. Job done, daughter happy
  9. B&Q Spacepro brand. MIs say 2260 is the frame height, width 3m. So my opening is 2270 at one side 2280 at the other. How do I do this? Was thinking a bit of 19mm planed timber attached to ceiling and plane it to remove the extra 10mm? Will it bend enough? Thoughts welcome... Floor is square, ceiling has been plastered after a leak and I reckon its the ceiling that's off-sloped. Plan A is to cut a timber to 2260 then mark out the gap every 150mm or so across the 3m opening
  10. Spanish mate says Inspect annually or replace Don't put behind a wally willy
  11. This is Spain. There's a sticker on each pipe but don't know what it says...everything easy to get to
