That would make sense. These are about that thickness. And yes, they’re a sod to get off. Thanks all.

No, they’re distinct blocks, somehow stuck to the wall.

Anyone tell me what these strange blocks are all about?

OK - Its one of these I've used to connect oven and hob to a 45amp switch. In the end I decided to move it into the cupboard next to the oven, it should be fixed to a plastic patress or into a metal one sunk into the wall. The plastic one would have given me the same problem as it's too deep...

Hi I have a junction box behind a new oven which is too proud to allow the oven to slide in fully. I'd like to sink this into the wall to create the extra room, but the only back box I have is plastic. Any problem sinking this into the wall, I can't get a metal one and don't want to move...

Thanks Foxhole Sink I'm planning to use is Overall dimensions: (L)860x(W)500x(D)200mm Bowl size: (L)353x(W)396x(D)200mm Cut-out size: (L)840x(W)480mm Sound OK?

Hi I'm fitting new cabinets in a very small kitchen I'm using standard 800 cabs into the corners on the far wall, and with the 227mm gap I have to allow on each end there's plenty of room for them. Problem is the total length of those cabs is approx 30mm too wide to line up properly...

Thanks for all the help, thought I'd let you know how it went. I followed hertsdrainage advice and took it carefully, removed a small area of plaster cut using a straightedge. I bought a drywall saw which cut through the laths easily. The leak was where I expected it so I opened up the hole...

The leak is Under the tiled floor - I can see the damp on the ceiling below, it's pretty obvious where it's coming from. I'm just apprehensive about cutting in to the lath and plaster ceiling and being able to fix the joint. I remember the joint before the tiled floor went down, suspect it's...

Thanks, both. Yes, I can see where the leak is, and reading forums sounds like I need to minimise the area of ceiling I remove and do it carefully to cut down on the mess. Lath and plaster.

I have a leak from a waste pipe under my bathroom floor, I'm pretty sure it's where two different size waste pipes are joined. Problem is the bathroom floor is tiled on top of plywood sheeting and there's no way I want to take up the whole floor to get at the leak. The alternative is to get...

I have a fence consisting of concete H posts with wooden panels. I want to remove one of the posts and hang a pair or 5' high wooden gates between the two either side of the one I removed. What's the best way of fixing the wooden gates to the concrete H posts?

Once sent a young assistant for some elbow grease.

Well I did think of that, but leave it outside 24x7x365?

Been done to death I know, but I'm still not clear on cable type. I want to power up to my summerhouse to run a table lamp, computer and low voltage lights so nothing major. Summerhouse is 15m from house. I can feed this via a spur and put an FCU in the shed. The cable doesn't need to be...

Thanks, Kirkgas. Bit of a probem with terminology, I meant sink, not basin. The distances between centres is the same so it sounds like this should be OK. Thanks again.

I want to fit some mixer taps with a shower head attachment to the basin in my utility room. Of course the existing taps are connected via 1/2 ich and the new ones 3/4. Can I use some sort of 1/2 - 3/4 converter (it's all plastic pipe) and will that work OK. The tanks are all in the loft and...

You've all gone quiet guys, reading back some posts the above seems OK to me, can someone please confirm before I head off to buy the bits?
