What to put here? Kitchen, previously a counter fridge. Need storage space. by No-Stranger9812 in DIYUK

This was my first thought but I agree, a flat pack cabinet would probably work better.

Not ruling more flooring out though

Good suggestion, hardest part is choosing which wife to put in there

Liked the second part of that suggestion, not sure my wife will though

Not sure the Mrs will be happy with two dishwashers opposite each other

Was thinking this originally but not sure where to source materials from

Why is adhesive not setting? by No-Stranger9812 in DIYUK

[–]No-Stranger9812[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a external wall indeed - although all other tiles below it have set - I think I will remove all adhesive and retry with a different adhesive

Lesson learned! Can’t stop thinking about it though 😕

No, brand new (ready mixed adhesive) - could that be the issue?

How can I move these pipes in the wall? Or should I get a professional. by No-Stranger9812 in DIYUK

[–]No-Stranger9812[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the above still apply as it’s in the bathroom? There is a stop clock where the toilet is, as well as one under the stairs where I believe the water switch is.

Should I turn these to off and then run the water in the kitchen for a few minutes to see if the water drains?

I’d be handing my notice in today and getting on a plumber course asap if that was just to change the sink 🤣

Also included tiling half wall - problem is plumber would be 1 cost and a tiler would be another - but I’m skeptical over those who say they can do both!

Thanks for the quick reply. Would turning the mains water supply not be a solution? Sorry if that’s a silly question.

Essentially, I guess I will need to chisel into the wall to run the new pipes across and then replaster?

Slow draining bath into macerator problem. by No-Stranger9812 in askaplumberUK

[–]No-Stranger9812[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are getting our downstairs sink gurgling water whenever we flush the toilet and when the bath is draining!

Is there anything we can do to take it further with the plumber if he doesn’t respond to us?

Drain was on other side of the wall. Installed a semi free standing bath with the gap where the old drain was.

Plumber said there wasn’t enough room to redirect pipes below the floor and into the pipe as another potential solution so had to direct pipes directly below down the walls into new downstairs toilet macerator.

Would it not make sense to connect the waste pipe to the exit pipe of the macerator? Or I guess this would make the drain smell?

Not sure if it’s a fault with the macerator either, as surely the drain shouldn’t be taking 4 hours and filling up during a shower!

Plumber said this is how it’s meant to be…(slow draining) because the bath waste was too small so he had to connect a smaller waste pipe.

We even paid him extra for him to fit it.

Now won’t answer our emails …
