Hi folks I'm trying to fit a cls door lining but because I'm taping and filling rather than skimming, the lack of skim (circa 2 x 3mm) means the door lining protrudes 3mm each side. What's the best way to deal with the protrusion? Cutting 6mm off the timber is going to be fiddly and risk...

Cheers guys, have gone for it with an outward opening door.

Hi everyone, I'm refurbing my downstairs bathroom / cloakroom and need to install a small stud wall and door lining at the entrance. The old for was a bifold to avoid hitting the sink inside, but not keen to go down that route. Do is it acceptable to have an outward opening door instead? I've...

Yeah there is one behind the white flex mate. I was going to move it to the proper terminal like you said (y)

Cheers mate. Yeah it's certainly that age of house!

No mate, nothing but this light.

Hi fellas, I've been researching lighting circuit setups and have read about junction box and loop in variants. Having checked a light in my cloakroom I seem to have one love but two neutrals coming in to the fitting. My understanding was it'd either have one cable coming in, or two, not one...

Yep all the doors in the house are the same. Im not replacing it, I'm putting a new door in and the photo is another door in the house.

Hey all, I live in a 1930s house and need to find a door to match, or close to, existing. Have searched 1930s internal doors but all come up with the one over three panel doors. Can anyone help identify the door in the photo attached to help me search for one similar, or advise where I might...

Hey fellas, My bathroom extractor has stopped working so looking to replace. Broken one is a Manrose 41379 timer version so looks like 100mm size. In terms of replacement I checked Toolstation and Screwfix as a convenient and cheap option but they're coming up about £80 compared to this...

Thanks guys. Do you reckon I could keep the plastic collar thats currently left on the clay pipe (see pic in second post above)? Tried to get it off but seems pretty solid and don't want to damage the clay pipe in the ground. The plastic collar has an inner diameter of 130mm but not sure of any...

Update, managed to get the cracked clay bit out. Latest photo below. Any advice on how to connect the two now please? TIA

Morning all, I've had a bit of water ingress under my house (observed in the crawl space) and have tracked it back to the soil pipe outside. Picture is below but essentially a cast iron pipe dropping into a clay collar which then drops into a clay pipe and these two look to have a rubber (?)...

Hi folks, 30 minutes ago the sockets in my house lost power. Checked fuse box and RCD had tripped. Tried to reset it and it keeps flicking straight back off. If I understand things correctly, the RCD serves the MCBs to the left of it (garage door, garage and dining room lights, downstairs ring...

Thanks for the response bobasd. Yes the utility room is just off the kitchen within the main house. I have hacked off most of the plaster with an sds drill on chisel setting but it very time consuming and dirty work. I've just attached a photo of the whole wall. You can just about see the...

Please DO NOT vacuum up. Thats the worst thing you can do. When asbestos is disturbed, the fibres become air borne and get breathed in which is the hazard. Vacuuming will just spread them around even further. Also please don't just "throw it away" - think about it, it goes in your bin and then...

Hi folks, I've been stripping the floor to ceiling tiles off my utility room and have encountered one wall where the underlying plaster is mega powdery (see video link below if it works) https://photos.app.goo.gl/foKExvjq2Zf5fNqW7 My plan was to dot and dab over that wall but with how bad...
