    Floor is a bit of a mess - levelling compound approach?

    DIYer and have only used SLC once for a 30mm lift. Mapei 3240 (3 to 40mm) worked well. I think it took a few hours to set enough to walk on. I had some dips in the 3240 when done and used Mapei 1210 (1 to 10mm) to fill and feather out. I used Setcrete SLC primer as it was available in a...

    Where could water be coming from?

    That should be fine. I used Gorilla wood glue as I had some in the shed. https://www.screwfix.com/p/gorilla-glue-wood-glue-236ml/43424

    Where could water be coming from?

    There's loads of videos on youtube about installing kitchen sinks. I am DIY and did my first one this year for a neighbour. Dow Corning sealant was linked earlier and is a quality product.

    Where could water be coming from?

    Unless you are desperate to spend money..... Reseal the sink as advised. The top of the worktop looks fine. Clips normally pull the sink down. There is one in your pic above. Another option is to seal it and put some heavy items on it until the silicon sets. Tin of paint, bucket of water, etc...

    Help with Kitchen spotlights.

    Yes. The blue, brown and yellow/green earth will need to be connected. Your blue and brown might need a trim to get them into the connection housing. Probably obvious but isolate the power to your lighting before working on them. You may need a bit of earth sleeving. I think your bare earth...

    Help with Kitchen spotlights.

    Sorry. Those are with bulb integrated. My link included all types of Evofire. Better off going for one you can change the bulb in my opinion. These ones if you want chrome https://www.toolstation.com/integral-led-evofire-ip65-fire-rated-downlight/p28110 Separate bulbs. Dimmable option...

    Help with Kitchen spotlights.

    DIYer I use the Integral Evofire from Toolstation. Various sizes and styles available. Nice and easy to connect the 2 sets of wires with a maintenance free connection. Better than the terminal blocks you are using. https://www.toolstation.com/search?q=integral++evofire Paired with Wessex GU10...

    I have the R185SMS (smaller blade) That is M8 16mm 1mm pitch left handed thread. Quick google and £6 for the correct part to secure your spinning wheel of death seems the best option :)

    Self Leveller to Engineered Wood

    DIYer Only done it once for a 30mm lift. Mapei 3240 (3 to 40mm) worked well Couple of dips after this filled with 1210 (1 to 10mm) 1. Yes. Or the concrete will suck the moisture out of the SLC. Wickes do a smaller Setcrete SLC primer. PVA not suitable. 2. A few hours. 3. A few days for your depth

    Add another Thermostat?

    Might be worth looking at Drayton Wiser. You are then not reliant on hall temp to fire the boiler. If you have neutral at your hall thermostat this could be replaced by the Wiser hub. You can then have a remote thermostat wherever you want it. Or multiple thermostats. Also the option to add...

    Toupret Joint and Skim Woes

    Have not used the Toupret joint and skim but imagine it does the same job as easifill You may get away with multi coats of Toupret J&S. Toupret filler is very good and useful to have in the garage/shed. I am DIY BTW but have done a fair bit of taping/jointing and filling. I would J&S the join...

    Toupret Joint and Skim Woes

    Max 5mm for the joint and skim. You have probably gone too deep in one go. Toupret interior filler maybe better for the deeper filling. Good stuff. https://www.screwfix.com/p/toupret-interior-powder-filler-2kg/390PP

    New bathroom fan. Isolator required?

    Really appreciate the help and advice. (y) I will get a pro in to give it a check over. TBH it might not be after fitting the fan but will be in the near future. Next room to be done will involve quite a bit of electrical work.

    New bathroom fan. Isolator required?

    I got the same advice when working on my neighbours kitchen and he wanted an extra socket. He still has rewireable fuses. I followed the advice and did not fit an extra socket. I did move the cooker outlet (surface mounted no cable change). Even this I believe is classed as a 'change'? Is a...
