As you have paid for building regs. make use of them by asking advice and if necessay getting a site visit. I received a pack from my local building control office which included a cd rom with loads of useful stuff on. I'm sure it included a chart on trimmers.

Resin fixing bolts

Can anyone tell me how resin fixing is done? I have two lengths of 8x2 to fix to a brick wall and have been advised to use this fixing system. A detailed explanation would be good.

How far up is the tie beam or collar? If there is room below it to fit new collars then the answer is yes, you can cut away the old collar.

New pan connector or not?

I am fitting a new toilet pan, same model as the old one so it is a straight swap. The pan connector has been on for about six years. Will the seals be okay or should I fit new connectors?
