Air vents in garage..

Does anyone know how much vents there should be in garage to comply wth building regs. I'm in Scotland if the rules are different, the house is just over a year old and appears to have 4 vents but I removed one as seen it was slack and the plasterboard was not cut out, seems a bit pointless? I went ...

Thanks for that I wasn't sure if it was essential that is was plumbed in or not, did download an online manual but couldn't find out either way. What to you need to connect the fridge to, is it not the main kit under the sink? Above the location would be the landing, there is a bathroom nearby but n...

American fridge freezer

Other half is desperate to get on of these and the space we have is nearly perfect, but not near enough, well it gives very limited choice due to not many being true 60cm deep. I can only find a few out there that would be suitable size wise, were some admirals out there that appeared to fit the bil...

[quote="stoneyboy"]gogs, Your description is not detailed enough for forum members to make a judgement - pictures would be helpful. Suggest you get a structural surveyor in for a look and take things from there. end[/quote] I will try and do that as my bad cracks might be another mans noth...

[quote="plumbbob"]The inside between screen and tray should never be sealed. Only vertical joints inside and outside can be sealed. It is possible to hear water running in pipes sometimes but it depends on your set up. If no water is escaping then I would not worry.[/quote] Thanks for that...

Correct fitting / finishing of a quadrant shower cubical

As above, once these are fitted in place is there meant to be a bead of silicone ran along side the inside where the frame meets the tray? Also in this bathroom when you run the tap, the water runs away and a few seconds later you hear it running in some pipework, is that normal as never heard that ...

It is a run of the mill 600mm unit so I would have hoped any standard size integrated washer would fit the unit. As for the door, would need a replacement there, company said could supply that ok with a new handle, they also said integrated dishwashers come with a fitting kit? There is access to col...
