Plumbing advice needed

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Does anyone know how to disconnect a steel urinal trough from the waste outlet?

Does anyone know how to disconnect a steel urinal trough from the waste outlet?

I’m removing the urinal from the Re-New Community workshop men’s room, to make space for the washing machine, but I can’t get the trap disconnected, and could use some advice.

I’m also after a usable laundry tub unit to replace the basin, if anyone has one they don’t need.

Don't let your parents go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold.

They deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about their power bills, or their health.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And they may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz to check their eligibility.
