Hi, I have some lights that have been fitted underneath my kitchen cabinets whose wires are hidden via a plastic cord cover. The problem I have is that the cord cover has now fallen down. The cord cover was previously secured with double sided tape which has failed so I was looking at another...

Update-There was a double check valve on the internal pipe work which needed replaced as the valve was completely busted. Thanks for all the input.

Thanks. The good news is that this worked to let me get the tap on. The bad news is that this hasn’t fixed the issue of water not coming out the tap. On speaking to someone else they said they had a similar issue and it was a valve underneath the sink that a plumber changed. Any idea what the...

My outdoor tap needed replacing so I got one from screw fix which I attempted to fit today. All seemed to be going fine, old tap screwed off easily enough. However, when I started screwing on the new tap it stopped turning when the tap was facing sideways. It requires another quarter turn...

Hi, I need one of these, is it called a strike plate? Am having difficulties finding a rounded one of this size, the width is around 20mm at its widest point. Length is around 56mm. What colour would you say this is? Thanks for any help

Hi, So wardrobe door has fallen off. The hinge mechanism is a really old style and the hinge plate won’t work. I have noted pics below, any thoughts on how this could best be fixed? Many thanks

Haha brilliant! I have, however, am thinking of a buying a cabinet which is a decent bit lighter at the moment.

So I did some siliconing yesterday and have ended up with some silicone residue on the tiles. What would be the best way to remove this? Thanks for any help.

House is couple years old, moved from an older house with wooden studs which was handy for hanging up heavy items.

Thanks for all the replies. The house has metal studs so even if I did find one I can’t see it would be all that helpful. It is an internal wall. I will have a look at some of the fixing later mentioned. I may try and buy a lighter cabinet in all honesty.

Hi, I am looking to hang a bathroom cabinet in the bathroom where there are tiles on plasterboard. However the cabinets I am looking at weight around 10.5kg, will this simply be too heavy for this type of wall regardless of fixings used? If it can be done what fixings would you recommend for...

Hi, I have a couple small chips in my LVT flooring and was wondering what product I could use to fix it? I did see something called Roberts vinyl putty but there doesn’t appear to be any UK Sellers and it costs a fortune to have it shipped from America. Thanks for any advice.

Thanks Andy

Hi, I am looking to replace this fill valve and struggling to find one which matches. Can someone point me in the right direction, product link would be ideal. Thanks for your help.

It’s a parking post, we have an area for residents to park with allocated spaces. Due to our location we get a lot of randoms trying to park there so most people are now installing parking posts.

I need to install something using shield anchor bolts on a monoblock driveway. I only have a Dewalt 18v combi hammer drill. Will this be able to drill the 12mm holes required? Thanks

The situation has become a lot more complicated, having built the cabinet I have found it only has 2 fixing points which are 15mm away from the wall. One of the fixing points can be positioned next to a stud to allow a secure fixing. However, I can’t use a normal woodscrew as it needs a...

Hi, I have located studs behind it. Think I will be able to use one of the studs and then use a couple plasterboard fixings for the other side.

I am a fairly novice painter so not sure how good I would be at cutting in to be honest…

Hi, Am installing a bathroom cabinet and was thinking of using Gripit or Bullfix type fixings. The main downside being the size of hole required for both. Would something like the Fischer UX6 be able to support a bathroom cabinet? Size of cabinet is as follows- 83x16x98 cm. The wall is...
