  1. So you're suggesting..... One of these shoved into the 110mm pipe coming out of the wall: Then the Geberit long elbow shoved into it?
  2. I can imagine her being very strict.....
  3. Peter is this what you mean? (Mocked up in my garden against the house wall). Black fittings come with the Geberit frame. Elbow a random soil one: To my mind this'll push the Geberit frame too far out. Though you said a short radius elbow, guessing this isn't? Minimum I reckon it would shift everything left by about a hand's span:
  4. You know it's going to bother you now! ?
  5. Next question, what's the ideal gap between door and jam? 3mm? It is what it is on the cupboard but I've now to do the main door. Thus this gap: Ta.
  6. There lies an argument for Torx head screws as you've more chance of being able to make incremental adjustments to line the screw heads up! These will have to do:
  7. Door hinges... Do they go 2 leaf to the jam like this: Or 3 leaf to the jam like this: Hopefully it doesn't matter so I can make sure the writing on the hinge is the right way up. Cheers.
  8. From the left: "Adjustable" "Pliers: "Long nose" "Moles" (Mole grips being a particular brand of locking pliers like hoover means vacuum cleaner). "5 'oles"
  9. Colloquially known as "5 holes" due to the 5 adjustment positions. Try and drop the h to sound like you know what you're talking about. For example: "Whacked a bit of tape round it & managed to get a couple o' turns with the 5 'oles and that sorted it!" Builders crack showing is optional.
  10. Yep. Rental. Agreed but not my place/money.
  11. Well he's had a go. All apparently tanked behind with Aqua Seal I'd have to re gloss this rad and the cupboard door above: Messy git, not protecting the new bath and taps. I think he used my Fugi tool for the silicone... WC wall next as per my other thread. I fear much input from me will be needed. Still, I'm only standing on the shoulders of the giants here! That window would drive me nuts:
  12. If ever you need a house sitter...
  13. The fan likely doesn't need an earth but what happens if some muppet bangs a nail in or puts a screw through the CABLE supplying the fan??? Good to have the earth continuous from the supply, to the back box then onto and "park" at the fan.
  14. Imo they've even scrimped on the plasterboard screws. Should be about 150mm max spacing I think. Guessing they didn't tank the walls and floor... Must get back to mine!
  15. If anyone's interested:
  16. Guessing they've set the basin too high? Thought the pedestal was supposed to sit in a recess under the basin? Looks like the gap has been made up with silicone.
  17. I'm sure as in my amateurish attempts at a bathroom refurb are light years ahead of this debacle. Still, guarantees they get loads of rectification works...probably their own. I always find it strange, different perceptions of "quality" and what some so called professionals offer up.
  18. Thanks! Not sure if that assembly will put him too far left even if cut down but I'll look at it. Can try with one of my spare frames. Yep, it's that bathroom I showed in another thread.
  19. Christ on a bike! Makes me look professional!
  20. @AliG, I've ordered two, one "ordinary" as per your link for the bathroom cupboard door and then a "privacy" one for the main bathroom door. Not sure on how they differ... Best sharpen my chisels! https://www.doorhandlecompany.co.uk/excel-hardware-precision-bolt-through-bathroom-privacy-bolt--18366/ Cheers
  21. This is what he has at present: I've suggested he move the basin to the left for start. He might then build a dwarf wall out of 6"x2" to mount the Geberit frame in, likely bringing the WC position left as well, away from the radiator. Guessing you must nigh on burn your leg sitting on the throne here! I'm thinking he could use a 100mm offset adapter instead of the Geberit one and just twist it a little if he's bringing everything to the left? Might actually be better, giving leeway to adjust. This Amazon one seems bang onto cope with the pan 100mm stub to the 110mm soil. Biggest issue is the he isn't ME! He doesn't live close and whilst I'd relish the job I'm worried it'll be too much for him.
  22. Thanks. Tbh they'll be worth more than the doors! ? They take "standard" handles etc?
  23. Got a link? I'm only finding them for £30 upwards. Thanks.
  24. Thanks. Not cheap though!
