Repost - Smell from waste pipe

I got no replies last time so I will ask again - I have found quite a few posts about smells from bathroom drainage but all appear to have the smell in the bathroom. My problem is different in that the smell appears outside in the drain. I know it is not the drain itself - I have checked that by run...

Smell from bathroom drainage

I have found quite a few posts about smells from bathroom drainage but all appear to have the smell in the bathroom. My problem is different in that the smell appears outside in the drain.

thermostatic shower valve problem

I fitted a new thermo shower valve about 2 years ago but I now have a problem with it. There is no hot water coming through. The power pump is working ok. The hot water is getting as far as the valve itself - (pipes are hot up to the valve) I suspect that it is the thermostat itself inside the mixer...

Boxing in utility meters

My daughter has just moved into a terraced house that has both the gas and electric meters in the front room. They are both in the alcove between the chimney breast and the front wall. I want to box this area in to make a worktop/storage area on the top and access via 2 doors on the front. I thought...
