I recently laid a patio of 60 Sq mtrs and have jointed half of it by rubbing cement into the joints. The pavers have a bevelled edge which creates a large joint and this is why I cemented them instead of using sand. The joints have dried but they are breaking up and becoming loose is there...

Looking for some advice. I built a house 5-6 years ago and have done nothing to the driveway only put kerbs in. I am hoping to lay stone but looking to know what type to use and can you provide pictures if possible please. Also the cost of a lorry load approx. Any advice please

Will probably keep the type I have. So I can just replace the transformers and all should work again? Will order 1 to test. What should be the life span of the transformers?

Yes they are small thin pins. Yeah know the transformer box now how do I make it a better connection? Where can I get replacements? It doesn't mater how long they are switched on for they can still overheat?? Can I replace them with the rounded T shape connectors?

Why would this be? The lights are in hall and landing so never constantly on just switched on and off. The never stay on for long periods. Which part is the transformer? Is that the white box that the mains cable connects to? Where can I get them? How long should they last?

Can someone help. I have many downlighters installed throughout my house as I built it not physically but from scratch. The problem with the downlighters is that a few have blown but when I replace the bulb it does not work??? Would there be anything wrong with the downlighters?? The...

Thanks to everyone who has replied. Have to wait to get the Wosley amp and some coax cable to complete the install. Will post when I have the job completed.

Have ordered it from amazon and haven't received it yet but the description states that it can be used with the sky magic eye. Is the way I am hoping to install it correct?

Chrisfrost the re scan done the trick thank you. Can now get all freeview channels except RTE but I can get the sound so probably need a soarview box I think. Another area you might be able to help on is I hope to connect my sky to the aerial system. I am planning to cable it as follows...

Question 1 I am checking the signal at the aerial. Question 2 don't really know what you mean. Question 3 coax is connected correctly. Question 4 how do I find out the signal in my area?

Can someone help. I have bought an high gain aerial from B&Q which is on off at the minute for £20 including a kit to wire and mount it. I order a signal finder from amazon for £10 and I have tried to install it today. There are 4 lights on the signal finder and I can only get 3 lit...

Well done Cool hands!! I think it is a job well done. I am going to attempt to patio an area at my back including 2 round steps which have 2 steps up, if you know what I mean. My dad who recently passed done this type of work for a living and I have worked with him years ago so...

Gates finished and hung looking really well very pleased with them and everyone has commented on them even neighbours. I finally applied a coat of Zinc Phosphate, 2 coats of undercoat and I have only one coat of gloss applied. I wanted to apply another coat when they were finally hung but it...

I have now applied 2 coats of undercoat to the gates. Should I apply the black and gold finishing coats or should I wait until they have been hung before doing so? Any advice would be appreciated.
