  1. I'd have done this grey but was overruled: Ended up at an 8mm bead. The far side was proud of the floor by about 4mm so "out" was the pedestal casting. The gap is packed with CT1 Fugi'd flush then gone over with Forever White. Cheated with the black waste by covering with some foil tape until I cut a bit of upvc or something:
  2. Sharpie and a bit of A4 paper is all you need! ?
  3. That's in. Just waiting for the CT1 to go off: Then I'll nut the tails and waste up:
  4. What box for vampire bats?
  5. Something like mine? Took some working out: Timber frame covered with moisture resistant pkasterboard generally and Aqua Panel in the wet room corner and behind the wc: NB: Aqua Panel is a whole different ball game to mrpb. Pretty much inflexible by comparison and cracks quite easily so get your studs dead flush. Dusty (old circular saw and carbide edged jigsaw blades) to cut and needs special screws. The bottom "shelf" of the Aqua Panel (where the beer is above ) projects over the wall panel that comes up to it. When all the boarding was done I tanked the pocket with the blue stuff, Aqua Seal in this case. This is the 10mm white pvc trim I used for 8mm tiles. I went for the tile flush with the trim so you don't feel the trim edge: Trim on. I stuck mine on with clear CT1. @Nickfromwalesfavours mitre bond but I couldn't get on with it: (I wanted chrome or stainless trim btw but was overruled ) Back tiles on first - sits behind the bottom tile btw: Bottom tile in second, mine slope toward the front by a few degrees. A bit of plastic helps to check the fit and get the tile out again: Then the top: Then the sides last. See the sloping bottom tile? Note the 1mm shims all round. I take no credit for the majority of this. Mainly done with advice from @Nickfromwales. Standing on the shoulders of giants me!
  6. Update. The controller was "hanging" more often. Up until tonight I've been able to reset it then redo the time, date & settings. Came in just now to the downstairs heating off and couldn't reset the controller this time. Changed the electrolytic, new one apparently Panasonic brand. All appears to be working again. Thanks all, especially Jeremy.
  7. I've had these tap connectors lying around for so long I've lost one rubber O ring and the other is dry, cracked and perished! Anyone know what size they are? Measures about 8.5mm dia to the base of the groove. From my trusty £3 Maplin box of assorted O rings I note I have both 7 and 8mm ID ones, both 2mm thick. Cheers Edit: In searching for the O ring size I came across monobloc connectors with double O rings. Are these any better than the single O ring ones?
  8. Aren't dungeons meant to be damp?
  9. So the EBLV-1 virus from a Daubenton bat killed a chap in the UK a while back. At the end of last year EBLV-2 was detected in a serotine bat in Dorset... Basically either virus cause rabies in humans. Almost makes the much vilified brown rat look cute and cuddly!
  10. @lizzie, did you sort your wobbly tap? Got one to install shortly.
  11. That's the studs and pipes/waste all ready, this end anyway! Only the hot on the left is "live". The cold, nearest, just goes to an open end 15mm in the loft. Got to get a couple of lengths of copper and run / tee off the incoming mains.
  12. I can honestly say the only issue I had with British Bathrooms was a delay on one item I ordered that I had to chase. @Hecateh, pm me a copy of your order or similar and I'll email and give them a rocket saying I've recommended them to you and others and how embarrassing it is etc ref their poor service.
  13. Don't be daft. Plenty of idiots out there will buy it off of you!
  14. Go on, waste some more money! ? http://www.mcdiscount.co.uk/search?q=dewalt dw0100 3 4&ts=bs&gclid=Cj0KCQiAn4PkBRCDARIsAGHmH3fHZZFFntZnhLqtJLDlwW4CwD-NXgYCup65MIwqvmE-vhkb1QKdL_EaAn3sEALw_wcB
  15. No, it's YOU!
  16. That's the 300mm. Mine's 150mm: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hudson-Reed-ARM15-Ceiling-Mounted/dp/B00DCQOCBC
  17. There's not a blockage the house side of the pump?
  18. And the common factor here is?
  19. Part numbers: Rail/handset: http://www.britishbathroomcompany.co.uk/slimline-slide-rail-kit-a3041 This mixer: http://www.britishbathroomcompany.co.uk/reign-triple-shower-valve Rainfall head: It wasn't this HR one but v.similar and at the time a real steal. Nearest I can find (cheap): https://www.bellabathrooms.co.uk/hudson-reed-round-fixed-shower-head-300mm-diameter.html? Then the ceiling drop arm. HR again. Will try and find the part numbers for the arm and rainfall shower head. Edit: Hudson Reed AR15 is my ceiling drop arm.
  20. I think I paid £80 or 90 for mine? Ones with square plates cheaper than the radiused ends. Random link: https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/vpsearch.aspx?searchText=hudson reed reign
  21. Hudson Reed? I found this mixer and posted up asking @Nickfromwales, got the OK. @ProDave at least on here has his in fitted and working. Mixer came from British Bathrooms. Rainfall head from Wayfair and sliding rail / handset from British Bathrooms again. All Hudson Reed. 20 yr g'tee I think.
  22. If it seems like I'm spreading my questions over various new threads...I am! Figured they stand alone and might help those following. Haven't fitted a sink with a pedestal ever, always drop in ones, so here come the questions: Sink is loosely in: Mounted on M10 bzp studs with those plastic cam things to adjust the height. 10mm tile drill followed by a 7mm multi construction bit. Studs sent home with the impact, going nowhere! Rather than use the supplied giant Rawlplugs the screws go into the 6"x2" timber behind I fitted in the stud wall: It's level: The tiles it's mounted against are plumb but the sink slopes, assume this is correct? The pedestal, I'll live with this. Surprising the casting isn't perfectly symmetrical! What I cant get my head around is the pedestal leans forward. Tbh It's no huge deal. The basin is sitting solid on the pedestal. The tile it sits on is level??? Just below the main fixing stud is another hole about 3" down on the corner of the casting, you can just see it. Am I meant to fix through there as well? Am I correct that I DO NOT want to "stick the basin to the wall"? The only silicone is when it's nutted tight to the wall and goes along the back edge and sides where they meet the tiles? Do I put a smear of anything between the basin and pedestal? The base of the pedestal has two fixing holes in the casting. I'd rather not drill because of the UFH pipes. CT1 maybe, baby wiped off followed by a coloured silicone? Any thoughts, tips appreciated! Cheers
  23. And two become one!
