Evening. I have an IP66 outdoor socket on the side of my house. To power a feature in the garden, i need to plug it in, but this will mean the cable is theoretically exposed to the public on public land, if i attach the cable to the side of my house, untill it gets to my perimitter fence where...

Quick question if i may. I have bought a IP66 rated socket to be fitted on my outside wall. Is this notifiable? Thanks

Just moved into a new house and the toilet seat brackets appear to be held by rubber push on fastner things, and the seat keeps moving, do these rubber 'things' pull off to release the seat brackets? don't want to damage anything by trying to pull them off.

Morning, having just moved into a new house, the time has come to try getting to grips with what seems to be a very over complicated central heating control. The hot water function is fine, as we just use the 'boost' button. But the heating....... where to start. Why might the heating/boiler...

Hi, im a little bit concerned. We are in the process of selling the house, and the solicitors have asked for a copy of the certificate from last time the boiler was serviced as part of our 'home-care'. Not a problem, I have it. But on the certificate/report, the Terminal and Flue has been marked...

In the shower control, it is getting more so that i have to turn the tap off tighter to stop the water flow, and was just wondering how to get at the washer, in the tap shown. Bit scared of water, so would it be wise to get a plumber, or is it easy enough? I once did a kitchen sink tap. Similar?

I was going to change the said part in the title, for my shower as it is looking a tad tired. As I understand it, it should just un screw ready for fitting a new one. When I try to unscrew it, it just turns and turns, with the thread pipe into it. Why would this be, could it be into push fit...

I posted similar to this elsewhere as i overlooked this section. I have opened up a fireplace in which i want to tile over the bricks. I have removed plaster from the wall too where i want to tile, to keep it flush with coming out of the fireplace opening. The bricks what were under the plaster...

I have just opened up a fireplace in the bedroom, and overall it is in good condition. It measures just 18'' wide so I plan to get a HETAS person to come and fit a STOVAX STOCKTON 3, as the blurb says it is suitable for as small as 16'' openings. This will take place when I have sorted the...

Hi all, new to the forum. I have started to open up the old fireplace of my boring terraced house, in the bedroom. I am hoping to have a stove in there, but the fireplace is very small, only 18'' wide. I have seen the STOVAX STOCKTON 3, which according to the blurb can and is designed to fit...
