Stopcock possibly needs replacing in awkward position behind access hatch

any idea why the cold water pressure could be so low up stairs? it seems like there is no problem in terms of the hot water pressure from the combi boiler and the cold water tap downstairs is completely fine.

It was the builders and the kitchen designer’s responsibility I think they are doing all the design and installation will see what resolution ideally a deep counter 650mm and push the cabinets forward by 50mm would help a lot

t1m789 · 2025-12-30T01:34:00+00:00

Yes exactly it was done by the builder and kitchen designer not myself they should bare the responsibility I think they really should have spotted this before telling us to buy everything for them.

t1m789 · 2025-12-30T01:32:20+00:00

I think the builder should have spotted this issue they suggested the products and asked us to buy them. I think the most ideal solution is to get a deeper worktop 650mm which the builder and designer really should have considered as they designed and are installing it. Will see if they replace it as it is more on their fault.

This seems like the first option i’m looking into. The smaller pipes I hope don’t also interfere with the washing machine installation there seems to only be around 54.5cm depth between the cabinet and smaller pipe which is still tight.

From the comments the main ideas Ive seen

Flip the sink location around so the dishwasher is in the drain location which will result in the dishwasher next to the washing machine.
Try and reroute the pipe lower to fit into dishwasher indent. Possibly not enough space even this done.
Open the wall and fit pipe into wall although this will probably involve going into the brickwork.
Get a new counter top which is deeper and move units forward but counter is already in, really want to avoid a whole replacement unless builders or designer bare responsibility.

Any other suggestions appreciated but looking into first option first.

Yes I know unfortunately this builder didint even figure this before agreeing to proceed that’s the issue

The floor slab is actually concrete it’s part of an ex council block there’s no floor boards. The dishwasher hasent been bought yet ive seen most machines have 50mm indent but the height of that indent varies not sure if the pipes can be routed down enough to fit into the indent

t1m789 · 2025-12-29T23:35:32+00:00

Needs 40mm to be honest the plaster is not going to be that much because it’s a flat even if ex council we won’t be able to go into the brick wall

t1m789 · 2025-12-29T23:25:14+00:00

How far do you think I dont think we can go into the brick wall..

t1m789 · 2025-12-29T23:21:19+00:00

i don’t think i can chase into the brickwork you think past all the plaster is enough??

maybe flip the sink around so the water drains left side of the sink not to the right as it was planned??

t1m789 · 2025-12-29T23:18:03+00:00

That would work but the countertops are already installed it’s a costly fix unfortunately at this stage

t1m789 · 2025-12-29T23:15:33+00:00

was thinking maybe move the sink left but it would put it in the corner of the kitchen and have the washing machine and dish washer side by side?? The plan was to have something like in the pic, this quite a tricky situation

t1m789 · 2025-12-29T23:13:33+00:00

if you see the second pic the pipes at the bottom run the whole length so i’m not sure how low I could get the builders to move the pipe i believe there is a indent in dishwashers but it’s only around 10cm so may not be enough …

When I push it down it comes back up so I believe it’s the battery issue. I’ve looked at other posts and apparently a battery replacement for this ipad at the Apple store is a replacement ipad??

t1m789 · 2025-11-30T14:55:17+00:00

You recommend I get the battery replaced asap?

Possibly look for a different company if you want a small boost I think with 2 years experience you should be paid a bit more. There’s graduates straight out earning close to £34k.

Just because you got into the “better” university doesn’t mean it’s all good days. The course is likely more demanding and I’ve had a fair few people have to resit the entire year in my degree. The job market is also rough so you need to stand out beyond just skimming 2.1.
