Hi, I purchased some outdoor garden lights from Homebase a few year back now, they are the xmas tree light type bulb, the ones you can easily take the light out of the green holder. They are 2.4v 0.48w according to the label on the transformer. Homebase can't really help me unless I have...

Hi, seen a good offer on a walk in shower enclosure (1400x900) and wondered if anyone has got/used one and what your opinion is of them? I'm currently planning out a new ensuite and have the space to take one but the budget is around £600 for the enclosure, most seem to be in the £1,000...

Hi, has anyone got any tips for feeding 2x 2.5mm (Twin & Earth) cables down 20mm conduit? Is there some substance which makes this process easier like washing up liquid? What do the pros do? I found it easier to do this before attaching the conduit in the wall, but I still struggled with...
