Can anyone recommend which combi boiler to go for, it is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom property which will be a rental so I'm not looking to go for anything too expensive. I'm currently looking at the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 2000 25kw but obviously the Worcester Bosch have the aluminium heat...

I'm going to lay some vinyl flooring in a bathroom which I have boarded with ply, is double sided tape the way to go & do I just need to put it around the edges only?

I've got the plastic panel & at the bottom behind it I've put a piece of timber which it will screw into.

I'm attaching a bath panel & have got some 4mm screws, what size drill bit for the pilot hole should I use for the plastic panel?

I’ve got this fence that has fallen due to the recent winds, simply put how do I go about repairing it?

Ok I’ve bought the plug but isn’t there suppose to be a cable grip with screws at the bottom to hold the wire in place? How does this one work it just has a removable piece but no way of putting it back in once the cable is in place?

I’ve got one of those all in one wire cutters & strippers, there’s different size holes to strip the wire but what if I don’t know the size of the wire I have?

I’m going to add a plug onto these wires for my kitchen extractor, are these ok to go straight into the plug as they are? Just asking as the wires look like they go from the bottom into these cap looking things, do I have to remove them?

I’ve used corefix before but the maximum gap between wall & block to use these says 45mm, the gap I have is about 60mm. Any other fixings I could use?

I've got an empty radiator which I'm going to add some inhibitor to before filling. I'm going to add it through the blanking plug side, what size are these blanking plugs as I want to put on an elbow where the plug was with it going up to a piece of pipe then a funnel to fill it through? Also...

So tapping around one hole on one side it is completely hollow all around. I think there is a gap in between the plasterboard & the concrete block which is why it’s sounding hollow. The hole on the other side tapping around that it’s partly hollow & partly solid.

I’m hanging a kitchen extractor back which has fallen off the wall. It’s come away from the bottom where the two screws & plugs have come clean out. Whoever has put it on has used brown plugs which haven’t even opened up. So checking the holes one side is completely hollow & the other hole seems...

I’ve got this earth wire at the top but as you can see the end is on a bend & it feels hard & I don’t want to break it can I use something like pliers to straighten it out?

Ok thanks I know you’ve already addressed this so it would be ok if I just had the wires as they are now with the short ends for them just to be together on one side in with the one screw without going the whole way to the other screw?

Ok just to be sure when you say together is that both wires into one side or one each side? Also for ‘one terminal’ do I just break them off so I have just a single one with two screws? One earth was only connected to the socket the other was just left in there so should I leave that one out or...
