What about these ones? https://www.screwfix.com/p/sylvania-gu10-led-light-bulb-345lm-5w-10-pack/3667t#product_additional_details_container I know they aren't the right amount of lumens, but, on the topic of reflectors, how do you know if it has one or does not? It doesn't say it has a...

5 watt 345 lumens for these ones: https://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-gu10-led-light-bulb-345lm-5w-10-pack/1402v These ones are 3.8 watt and 345 lumens somehow https://www.screwfix.com/p/philips-gu10-led-light-bulb-345lm-3-8w-6-pack/250fh And this non-dimmable one is 4.6watt and 345 lumens...

Err the halogens from Sainsburys are 35 watt. It states that on the box and also states they emit 427 lumens. If you google 35 watt halogen sainsburys you will find this. So when I am shopping for LEDs and look for 35 watt 'equivalents' they come no where near close to 427 lumens nor do the 50...

Well either way it doesn't answer my question. I can access the transformer to disconnect it and pull it out by pulling the connection to the hole in the ceiling and disconnecting it , no? That is what I did in my own house.

This is the roof outside my bedroom window. I was thinking of pressure washing it - but should I use some pre-treatment? Should I pressure wash it at all? I would like to do a super duper job on it if I can! IMG_20200501_163314 by EastBelfastian posted 1 May 2020 at 5:48 PM Open to tips and...

Is there anything ELSE that I could use ?

Hi @Nozzle , I'll bear that in mind with regards to potential damage to the bricks and mortar. Though I have to say when I tested the pressure washer out on some of it the other day the mortar didn't appear loose. But I will keep an open mind on that. Will Jeyes fluid definitely do the job do...

Hi Folks, Wanting to know what I need in order to pressure wash this wall. We have a Karcher K4 pressure washer - when I was out doing the car one day I tested the pressure washer on a small section of this wall. It seems to remove a certain amount of dirt but doesn't remove the green and...

Thanks everyone for your advice and suggestions. I suspect @Makie and @Mw Roofline are correct that the hip tile needs repointed. From the ground I can't see that it needs repointed. My Dad has been up the ladder and cannot see where the birds are getting in. Unfortunately I find going up a...

So every year we have birds that nest in either the the corner (or thereabouts) of the gutter or the roof. Its starling birds that come every year without fail and nest. I think they must have started coming at some point after 2007 which was when the PVC guttering was installed as I do not...

Out of curiosity (I like to learn) why would there need to be movement for the glazing on a composite door but not on the side panels?

Recently got a new front door - the Endurance Fuji door which has a narrow pane of glass in the middle of the door. Is it normal for the glass unit in the door to have a slight movement to it when its pushed? The reason I pushed it was because I can hear a small amount of outside noise coming...
