  • Do BS1010-2 outdoor taps have check/return valves?

    Hello, I’m just installing a soaker hose system and don’t know if my existing outdoor tap (fitted in 2014) has a double check/no return valve. Can anyone advise if it’s likely to have? Many thanks.

    Macerator toilets - are they any good?

    We're thinking of adding an extra toilet and we've been told it's tricky to plumb in and should consider installing a macerator. I'm not sure I like this solution as it seems overly complicated and a bit icky, so I would like the professional opinion of a plumber. Is this a good, reliable and hygienic solution, or not?
