Baths are fed by 22mm pipes to provide the volume of water required, you should leave these and connect the new bath taps to them. You will find your basin is fed by 15 mm pipes.

Thanks Plumbob..... Was speaking to a neighbour who had a plumber out a year ago to look at their stopcock. Because it is so close to the ground he was reluctant to replace it, in case he didn't have enough to connect to when he removed the stopcock so he simply fitted a new stopcock above the exist...

Thanks Welsh Brickie (sorry about delay in responding I've been on holiday) I found the Marley flexible connectors and I think they will do the trick. My next problem is if I remove an 8" section of the stack and replace with a section of 110mm soil pipe using the connectors, will the weight of...

Thanks htg engineer...... The problem is the stopcock sits so low to the ground (only about 1" above it) and with the build up of dirt etc over the years, I can't actually see the supply pipe and as usual it's not in easiest of places to get decent access to. I'll probably have to remove a cupb...

My house (late 60s) has an internal soil stack (made of a black plastic/composite ? material) approx 5" diameter. There was a small rectangular metal inspection panel which was bolted onto the base of the pipe before it goes underground but this was rotten and has been removed and replaced temp...

Thanks for your reply. I've just read the message I posted earlier and wanted to clarify something. There is a cast iron fusebox with a socket and light in the garage which presumably has had power running to it in the past, it's just there is no power getting to the garage just now and I'm trying t...

No power to detached garage

I recently purchased a mid 1960's end terraced house with a detached garage. I am planning a rewire and have already replaced the jumble of old cast iron fuse boxes with a new split load CU. During this work I identified wires running in conduit which to my suprise remained live even when the mains ...
