  • Can I use plasterboard walls in a bathroom?

    Recently I have had renovations in my bathroom, which included the installation of a plasterboard wall which is right by the bath. Tiles were fitted to the plasterboard with an adhesive it seems to have been done very neatly and correctly but I am concerned if plasterboard is okay to use so close to the bath without waterproofing beyond the tiles themselves. The last thing I want is a structurally unsound wall of tiles right next to my bath. Is this usual to have tiles fitted to plasterboard walls like this or should I bring this up with the bathroom fitter who fitted the wall?

    How do I fix low pressure on a cold water bathroom tap?

    Hi all I have found my bathroom sink’s tap for cold water suddenly has very low pressure, yet the hot water tap in the sink runs fine. The baths’ taps are also running fine. Also, there is a mixer tap and I have a combi boiler setup. Does anyone have any idea how this has happened or how I can fix it? Or will I need to ring a plumber?

    Grommets in back boxes

    I am adding some extra sockets to the ring main in my bedroom. I have done this before and used open grommets in the back boxes to protect the cables. However I've seen in one diy book that we should only use blind grommets and cut a hole in them just big enough for the cable - apparently this is to hinder fire / smoke spreading in event of a fire. Is this correct?

    Can I extend my washing machine hose?

    I want to get a new washing machine but the pipes don’t reach. I have been using extension hoses for water and discharge water but I have been told that this is not good. Can the hoses be changed for longer ones? Is this a job for a plumber?

    Is fensa registered to the person or the company?

    Is FENSA registered to the company or the person? I have recently found that my windows need replacing and I have a friend who can change windows, but they are not FENSA registered themselves, but the company that employs them is. If they change my windows, is that covered if the one of the other company staff checks the work for them?
