My son has a G/F 1 bed flat in a 1930’s conversion. He has a stud wall that separates the front door from the kitchen creating a small entrance lobby. On one side is a door leading to a bathroom extension. This makes the kitchen quite small and he would like to remove all or part of the stud...

Found it! Allen key fixing accessible through the seat fixing holes…

So would you say access would be through the seat holes?

I’ve taken some photos, hopefully it will shed some light on how to remove the bowl?…

Abacus Easy-Plan wall hung cistern is leaking and has been for some time. All boxed in with plywood, tiles were all cracked so now removed. Plywood box and flooring wet and covered in mildew. I can’t see how to remove the toilet bowl, it is very loose but can’t see how to remove it, no holes...

Ignore that, I was measuring wrong, it’s 150mm‍♂️

I need to replace a thermostatic bar shower valve with inlets at 160mm centers. Online I can only find them with 150mm centers. Does anyone still make them?

I just bought a wall mounted patio heater on Amazon advertised as 800w. When it arrived I found it had no rating plate on it. The instruction booklet said 110/230v 800/1500w so I read that as 800@110 and 1500@240. I decided to return the item and although I have been offered a no quibble...

Can I have IPA rated?!

Hi All I have a room attached to my single garage around 9’ x 9’ that I would like to use as a garden room/bar. It is single skin concrete block with a decent felt roof. The inside of the walls gets quite wet when there is a lot of rain so I would like to make it damp proof and insulated...

Thanks for all the tips guys, it looks like adhesive lined heat shrink is the way to go. Unless I feed it in to the shed with a IP rated junction box at the end of the run and fit a light in my shed. Its only a small tool shed so only very occasional use and I can live with having to have the...

I’ve bought some ip57 outdoor mains voltage festoon lights. They are made with two core flex with a plug on one end and a connector on the other end to join another set if required, this has a screw on lid to make it water proof. I would like to cut the run in half and use two separate runs...

It’s like there’s a poltergeist slowly turning the temperature control towards hot until it gets too hot. The flow control seams fine. The install is negative head fed by a 4 bar whole house pump and flow is good. TIA.

I've been having a look at this 6mm armoured cable and I dont think it will be suitable as there is no way it will bend round the outside corner of my house, its just too thick. In fact there are a few bends it will have to go around. So I am thinking what is a better alternative? Going by...

Yes:RCD! 13amps is plenty. I would like power in the shed which would have an inside light and an outside light on a 3 gang light switch, possibly with a 2 way outdoor switch on the outside of the shed. I would also use this switch for pond lighting which would be low voltage led strip...

I notice you are in Poole, would you be interested in quoting me for this job?

Found marking on cable and it is 6mm2, the outside diameter is around 20mm. It was left over after my last electrician over ordered for a run from consumer unit to garage of around 25 meters, I still have about 20 meters left over. The new run would be around 5-6 meters from consumer unit to...

I have a good length of armoured cable left over from building a new garage a few years ago. I would like to use it to install a 300w pond pump in my garden. Firstly, I will not be doing this job myself but would like an idea of what’s possible before I start. I can take the supply from my...

I have a yellow Balau deck just over 4m x 4m. Every spring i pressure wash and oil using something like Ronseal clear deck oil and it looks lovely for a few weeks before going silver and then covered in algae (it is north-east facing). Having done a bit of research I suspect I may not have...

Found it. Forgot to reconnect the small rubber tube that connects to the timer.
