  • 6L toilet cistern to bigger sized

    I have a standard traditional handle flush toilet that has a 6L cistern attached. I need to change this to a bigger 9L or higher version as not enough water to get rid of my waste so drain keeps getting blocked as it's just letting the waste sit in the pipes

    Should I get a gas safety check on all appliances at the same time?

    My boiler is due to be serviced but we also had a gas fire installed around 10 months ago. I want to get both safety checked at the same time by the same engineer so they can be on the same schedule. Is it better to have the gas fire serviced early (now) or wait until it is 12 months old but then the boiler check will be 2 months late?

    Leaking steel gas pipe under floor

    Victorian end-terrace with a suspended wooden floor, no crawl space. We have a gas leak that the engineer believes to be in the old steel pipe that runs under the floor from the gas meter in our cupboard to the kitchen. We're getting the kitchen redone at the moment, so the gas needs to be reconnected to our new gas hob. The engineer's best suggestion to minimise cost, disruption and the dining room décor is to send a new 22mm copper pipe up through the ceiling above the gas meter, run this along the skirting in the landing and then back down through the kitchen ceiling, where it can be connected up. I'd be really grateful for any views on this approach. Does it make sense and/or sound like the best way forward? What options might there be for re-running it under the floor? Would this all need taking up? And then can copper pipe be laid directly below or does it need ducting and/or screed? I want to know what's preferrable versus what's possible (practically and legally!)
