Hi all, I've had a very kind tiler tile over my extractor fan position so looking for solutions rather than re-doing the tiles. I see there are diamond hole saws on the market but they vary in price quite a lot. Can anyone recommend the best one to get? It'll be a one off use so it doesn't...

Thanks! It wasn’t too shiny on the original but defiantly shiny rather than a matt finish. Fingers crossed it doesn’t peer off then. ‍♂️

Hi all, I have a decorator currently painting my house and I’m concerned he’s cutting corners. He’s painting old banisters that were dark stained wood which are to be finished white. If this was me doing it I’d be sanding the initial shine off the wood to give it a key, 1 primer, 2 undercoat...

As most will know on here, the test leads probes and crocs supplied with the flukes are shi*te. Can anyone recommend alternative leads, crocs etc that are compatible with this tester? Cheers

Thanks guys, to be honest I think I'll walk away unless they want to install landlords supply. Like everyone says it's not worth being responsible for and the hassle.

I've been asked to price emergency lighting in a small common area (4 or 5 small landings) and 1st inspection looked quite straight forward until I asked to see the consumer unit. Basically in this block of flats each flat controls a light in the common parts via its own Colombus time delay...

Thanks all for the interesting replies. I do love how topics on these forums drift from the original questions. I've suppose I've learnt a little more on air flow but still have no better recommendations on brands to buy and no better off.

Well I reckon if I get the apprentice jogging on the spot I can get him up to 1litre per second with a hose attached to his mouth although I don't think he's going to be up for it.. Any other recommendations? Need this asap now but don't want to buy the wrong one!

Any other recommendations then that are sufficient for the job. I'd pay a big more for something that does the job..

Thanks,I was actually looking at this one. I have 240v chaser but know they also do it in 240v as oppose to 110v. Is it this one you're used? http://www.fastfix.co.uk/makita-vc2512l-l-class-dust-extractor.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpfrFoY-T1gIVjzgbCh1w3gfTEAQYASABEgIK3PD_BwE

Looking at picking up a new dust extractor for my chasing tool. I don't want to spend silly money but want something that does job well. Any recommendations? Cheers.

Just took off the face plate of the shower to find its been tiled over.. Great! The stat has gone and in the last couple of days water has started leaking what looks to be around the cartridge. Does anyone know what make the unit is ? Cheers

Thanks Lucid and Omega. That's really helpful!!

I'm going to be rewiring a house in the next few weeks and will be running in CAT 6 cables for the home networking which will be run back to a central patch panel. At each point we need access to sky and digital TV. Is it possible to transmit digital or sky in decent quality through the CAT 6 or...

Thanks! What's the best way to go about unblocking it??
