Installation art is an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that are often site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space. Generally, the term is applied to interior spaces, whereas exterior interventions are often called public art, land art or art intervention; however, the boundaries between these terms overlap.
Hello all,
I am hoping that you can give us some advice. We're in the UK, and have contracted a company to completely refit the first floor bathroom. The first fix was completed a few days ago. We haven't moved in yet.
When we returned to the property just now, the kitchen ceiling had caved...
Hi, I’m installing a down pipe which goes from the house to a waste water treatment tank. The length of the route is 55 meters and the pipe diameter is 125mm (which collects black water from 5 toilets, grey waters are on a separate pipe). For about 35 meters the pipe has a good inclination of...
I have just purchased a Mira digital pumped shower
This will fit above an existing bath.
Can I use a T from the 22 mm bath feeds to connect the hot and cold to the module.
Currently the bath is fed from below floor level.
Ideally I would take a feed from the hot water cylinder and from the...

Hi,
The basin & pedestal I bought recently has got me scratching my head, as it doesn’t seem to have an obvious method of joining them together securely. This is in contrast to the existing one which has a semi circular groove that the basin fits onto the pedestal & you can adjust to fit flush...
I have just had 2 new vented hot water cylinders installed by a plumber (not yet finished) however I am a little concerned as the pipes are not attached to anything, the empty tank on the left wobbles a little on uneven floor and is slightly on the wonk. The plumber is really great but this was...
Hi
What are the regulations around installing a second hand oil combi boiler, am I right in saying they have to follow manufacturers instructions and building regs? Had people install on and it's positioned where I can't take the rear cover off to reach the condensate. The installation...

Considering buying the Tado Smart Thermostat and valves. My upstairs radiators are older and I'm unsure if the valves will be compatible. Has anyone had any experience of installing Tado Smart Valves. Do you know how to determine if they'll fit?
I have had no end of trouble recently fitting a heated towel rail. First problem is tightening the fittings so that it is tight in the correct position/orientation for the flow/return pipework, these have o rings for sealing but are not always water tight at the correct position. Also some of...
Hi guys
Just looking for advice on how to make the installation of a 1200x800 stone resin tray easier.
I'm fitting a tray into a space with three walls, so obviously space is minimum.
The last time I did this I rigged up a pulley from the ceiling joists to raise and lower the tray into position...
Hiya - the mixer tap in my kitchen has been leaking and squeaking for months, and of course I've avoided fixing it while refusing to pay a professional. Now I'm hearing noises in the bath tap (which stop suddenly when I isolated the kitchen sink), so I think the time has come to actually do...

I purchased three new Milano Aruba Radiators to replace my old ones. The plumber has spent two days trying to instal them and it has just been a nightmare as the water has been gushing out from the valves of each radiator as there is no resistance when he tried to tighten them up. He has used...
Built new bathroom on second floor, but the toilet spits back occasionally when flushed.
I think this is a venting issue. Attached is a diagram.
Can anyone see any problems with the configuration?
Thanks

We have recently had a new kitchen installed and are arranging for our freestanding gas cooker to be fitted (Leisure Gourmet Cooker 60cm)
I have read that there needs to be a 20mm gap between the sides of the cooker to meet the Gas Safe...
Hey,
I'm located in Paris. forgive my average foreign English.
I'm about to install all the plumbing in my van. I'm new to this. I'm wondering if I should recapture the used water from the sink and the bathroom and reinject it into the flush tank or do nothing and waste that water.
Also, since...
Afternoon all
I’m trying to replace a toilet downstairs and have come across two issues.
The floor is not level and there is a lip at the front of around 5mm which causes the toilet to rock, even when bolted down. The bolts aren’t the best and are plastic brackets on the inside of the toilet...
Another cheap chineese crap tap, customer has bought a kitchen tap with spray which also has a separate outlet which turns on/off, so both outlets turn off
The problem is when you let go of the spray or turn the other outlet off and the main control/temperature (on the bottom of the tap) is...
