    Any advice for putting this shower in ?

    I would follow the manufacturer’s instructions. It depends on how it goes together. I have fitted a similar unit by assembling it fully in the middle of the room as it was very useful to have access all around. Tip : first try fitting the base into position on its own and spend some time...

    Is it necessary to earth bond a Kitchen Sink?

    It is not a good idea to add bonding where it is not required - you can turn an electrically isolated item into one which is not.

    What's happening to this radiator, paint flaking off?

    That looks more like chipping off from blows with something hard/metallic. Do you have any young children?

    Covering shallow sewer pipe under concrete Patio

    As it’s new build I’m surprised that the rain water seems to be combined with the waste? Round here they would definitely be looking at disposing of rain water to a soak away, to relieve pressure on our overworked sewerage system. That’s why I say you need to establish exactly what goes where...

    Check the breather pipe for blockage, kink, hernia. If air can’t get into the unit - water can’t get out.

    Covering shallow sewer pipe under concrete Patio

    You need to find out for certain what this pipe is used for- not just guessing. Then, if it were me I would re-route it so that it would be outside the area of my proposed extension. ( I wouldn’t bother if it was used as a conduit for cables for instance)

    I need help finding toilet seat (URGENT)

    Either buy the correct one at the higher cost, or put some effort in yourself on the internet, or accept a generic square one that doesn’t quite fit properly. They are your choices - this is now a boring thread!

    Trying to find out what make these tap heads are

    Why are you doing this? What is the purpose- it’s quite annoying for “new posts” to fill up with old stuff that’s run it’s course.

    I need help finding toilet seat (URGENT)

    You can get a generic one for about £30-£35 from merchants off the shelf that will fit but not match the exact shape- if you’re not bothered too much just do this.

    Mira shower mixer adjustment.

    There is a temperature adjustment screw in the centre of the cartridge, I think it’s a little Allen key. I would try this first before replacing the cartridge as often it is all that’s required. Look up the instructions online for your particular model.

    No hot water flow

    Thanks for update. Did the engineer re-attach the white plastic dome - or simply remove it?

    Extractor Fan Advice

    Your concern is a valid one as cable entry points and distance from there to the connecting blocks varies between makes and models. Two approaches i) internet trawl looking for diagrams etc that might show such information. ii) remove your fan and take it with you to electrical factors or...

    Bath overflow pipe

    Just screwdrivers. Although it’s wise to back up the rubber seals with another form of sealant, especially if bath has uneven surface where it attaches. I like to use Plumbers’ Mait (£5 from same place) - but others may use silicone etc.

    Bath overflow pipe

    An inexpensive McAlpine Bath waste/overflow is available in ToolStn for £5.65 complete - this is probably the best way to go.
