Hi all,
I have been refitting my bathroom and the final piece is the bath. I have a separate shower so wasn’t looking for reinforced and decided I was happy with 5mm acrylic.
As I was putting the feet on the bath I looked at the underside of the rim and noticed that the acrylic looked thin...

Hi, I have a question related to NHBC flow rate standards. Does this standard apply when using a flow regulator? I have a new building without sufficient water flow while using the outlets simultaneously. But the builder insists that it is according to NHBC guidelines and the low flow is because...
Hello,
Our block of flats has had some stormwater drains replaced. We are concerned that the work does not meet the PCA standards. For example, the pipes are just below the surface soil and are even visible when there is some light rain. There are also some concreting issues. We would like a...

If no, then which libraries offer access to these documents? I'm based in London.
It would litereally be several...

If you checkout that blog post I did, you'll find out how to get the British Standards for Plumbing for free. It talks about Tiling Standards, but it applies to Plumbing too.
Which actual BS numbers apply to plumbing?
Before I say anything else, I want to make it clear I do not hold an asbestos qualification and I refuse to touch the stuff professionally.
However, my father said he'd pay for me to buy the vacuum cleaner as I need to take up some old asbestos Marley tiles and probably remove some Artex (I've...

Got threatened today when one of our lads replaced non working 837 with 40kw platinum. The 26m 500 elbow gas run with six burner hob was a little low at gas valve (14mbar) 22mm. The previous "gimp" had made a lovely mess of the system to combi. Turns out it was a valliant subby as custard paid...

I may be maturing into an old git, just like my Dad was; worrying; but this modern day TV, thankfully only free view, but cannot find anything other than crap. In early years; have to admit, remember BBC2 and ITV 4 coming on stream, there were some great programs; Now it's mainly rubbish. So in...
